100 years ago we just killed them and redistributed their wealth, which is part of what fixed the Great Depression.

I never heard of many of them being killed.

I’d be interested to hear more about patterns of killing.

I did find an APK on some outfit called apkvision.org, installed it, but it had something something about Iran, so I probably now have Iranian malware on my phone. 😓

Plague Inc. comes in at the top of a search in the Play Store for “pandemic” but I understand that it’s kind of a reverse concept of the Pandemic boardgame: You try to wipe out those pesky humans by developing an incurable virus.

About the artist, Gustave Verbeek, he drew 64 of these strips, one a week for a little over a year from October 11, 1903, to January 15, 1905!

You can view 41 of these strips online, with a handy image rotator, at https://library.osu.edu/discover/#%2Fdc%3Fquery="lovekins"&size=100

Warning: Some strips have stereotypes that wouldn’t be acceptable by today’s standards, for example the strip “The Negro and the Watermelon”

You mean The Simpsons
