I like “appetizer sized hats” as a description of yarmulkes. I think it’s childlike (and hopefully not offensive).
Actually, if i recall, when the strip first ran, someone pointed out (correctly) that they were Internment camps, not concentration camps. But I decided not to change it. I think it’s simply using a more PC word. Cocnentration camps are “a place where large numbers of people, especially political prisoners or members of persecuted minorities, are deliberately imprisoned in a relatively small area with inadequate facilities,” which from all i read is accurate. It is true, part of the definition is, “sometimes to provide forced labor or to await mass execution.” They weren’t held for mass executions like in Germany, although I am unsure of the forced labor issue.
Anyhow. Doesn’t matter. Bruno called it that, and she is not always 100% accurate.

Ah, romances when traveling abroad. They just seem to happen, don’t they.
I could never resist bringing in old characters whenever I found the chance.
I learned that “jerk” thing as a kid, and I still say it.
I like that Dr Talle could detect when Bruno was simplifying and overdramatizing.
I still think it’s weird. And I know there are PLENTY of webpages with proofs for it on it. :)
Sometimes an era comes to an end.
it’s amazing how many people who don’t like their parents, then go on to have kids.
I still view planes as busses that jump in the air. Keeps me sane. Kind of.
I still feel this way about my life.
