Comments on: Tanks For the Memory http://comicsidontunderstand.com/wordpress/2009/11/10/tanks-for-the-memory/ I have no idea whether ''The Stars Are Indifferent to Astronomy'' is a good album, but I might have to buy it just on the basis of its awesome name Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:47:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.1 By: J.D.Everett http://comicsidontunderstand.com/wordpress/2009/11/10/tanks-for-the-memory/#comment-28328 J.D.Everett Sun, 15 Nov 2009 05:04:19 +0000 http://comicsidontunderstand.com/wordpress/2009/11/10/tanks-for-the-memory/#comment-28328 Wait, where is her little cart?

Either it's also Veteran's Day in Canada or he's got his chevrons sewn on upside down. I’m just wondering what branch of the service that guy’s supposed to have been in.

I wouldn't have the guts to ticket/tow an angry old man who drives a tank. I thought it was funny. I wouldn’t have the guts to ticket/tow an angry old man who drives a tank.

They can drive perpedicularly into the spot, and rotate there in place. (There's no visible damage on the curb, but that's irrelevant: there <i>should</i> be all sorts of track marks on the street, too, unless this tank was equipped with rubber treads).

I think this is an odd thing to print for Vet's day. We're always being told that vets fought for our freedom, law, order, what's right, etc, and now that this soldier is back in the good ole' USA, he just does whatever he wants because, in this case, he's got the might to back him up. Is the message here 'Might makes right'? It kind of seems that way to me. "Damn your law and order when you've got the muscle I've got. I fought for our democracy, but it's not like I'm bound by its conventions! Ha!" Maybe I'm taking this too seriously. I don’t know. I think this is an odd thing to print for Vet’s day.

A TOW missile is an anti-tank missile (also used against other vehicles) so a sign that says "TOW Away! No Parking!" has a LOL twist. To me, anyway.
