I acknowledge that I truncated the situation greatly for the sake of brevity. And I agree that it was much more complicated than that. It's history, and it's war. So nothing is ever simple. That being said, I'm checking out the link soon. Thanks for posting it!

And then Germany just gobbled Italy up before the end anyway.

Try some comics from other publishers. Some do all of the things you're looking for. Though the process of finding them might be more frustrating that the pay-off.

If you are looking at this post, then you are likely aware of the annual fantasy art books called Spectrum. If you aren't, and really like this kind of art, then you would likely really enjoy the books. http://www.spectrumfantasticart.com/

I do things like this...

I love everything about this theory.

Weird theory here. But give it a chance. Scarlet Witch brought him back from the dead.

That podcast is exactly what I thought of too. Love Dan Carlin's analysis.

Makes perfect sense. And I guess I did not know that about the Neanderthal maturation process. So it does seem that make sense that they would not likely even tolerate puppies, much less adopt them.

Do you think that the cause of a common enemy might have been enough to bring a cooperation of sorts? At least temporarily? I enjoy history, but I'm afraid my sense of British/Irish relations during and before the war are not my strong suit.

I was just pointing out what that particular theory was stating. I like babies as much as the next guy. I was more curious about whether you thought the idea of puppies being adopted on cuteness has any merit for the closer link between dogs and humans.

Fascinating, and Thank You for clearing some of that up for me. This theory I was mentioning also put forth the notion that dog species were adopted into human groups because the women saw how baby-like puppies were. Which compelled them to adopt the puppies. I don't know what to make of that, but I can't exclude it…

That's the problem with minimalism. A lot of designers think it should be easy. But often, they make something soulless.

LOL... I see you are pretty familiar with the (other) Sunshine State then!

I don't know. A half a mile isn't nearly the distance most people think it is. Even a moderately mobile person can walk that distance without thinking that they actually went too far.

His breast stroke will never improve if he keeps insisting on balling up his fists and using his claws.

I was considering native populations. But in the mind-set of the people doing the planning, you are absolutely right.

To be fair, these areas are inhabited by people, albeit VERY sparsely in comparison to areas closer to coasts.

Granite erodes at a rate of one inch every 10,000 years. So it should fare better than anything in Egypt. It's the annual ice damage that is the biggest problem.
