Talk:Fearless Fosdick

message: Harvey Kurtzman's story "Mole!" (from Mad #2, EC 1952) doesn't seem to be a specific, self-contained spoof of Dick Tracy.   Tracy is never even mentioned once in the story.  Instead, Mole's antagonist is a bald warden character, and some generic cops referred to collectively as "John Law".  The protagonist, who is named Melvin Mole, bears only a superficial resemblance to Chester Gould's character.  He's a midget, he wears glasses, and he doesn't usually speak of himself in the third person like Gould's Mole characteristically does, ("Digging in the earth has made the Mole's hands very strong...").  He also digs with spoons, toothpicks and nose hairs, not oversized hands like Gould's character.  (Melvin's hands are very small.)  
I'm not convinced they're really supposed to be the same character, and I believe the original wording of the passage in question is the most accurate.  The fact remains that Kurtzman steered clear of satirizing Dick Tracy specifically in the early Mad, most likely because it had already been done with Fearless Fosdick.  Kurtzman had already acknowledged Fosdick, Al Capp, Li'l Abner, Chester Gould and Dick Tracy in a Hey Look! parody strip that ran in Lana #2, Oct. 1948.  It's reprinted in Kitchen Sink's Hey Look! anthology on page 122.  (10:22, 26 November 2009 Rackinfrackin)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rackinfrackin (talk • contribs)

Talk:Third Republic of Korea

message: This is a good start on an important part of the political history of the Republic of Korea, but ends in 1972. So as far as a non-knowledgable, non-Korean reader could tell, there is no further history of the RoK as pertains to its government structure. The reader is left hanging. There is no Wiki-link to the successor regime or government. Is RoK in a state of anarchy, with no government at all? I'm holding my breath until I find out what happened after 1972. Something must have happened after 1972 as I see RoK autos and electronics everywhere. They aren't produced and exported by the DPRK -- with all due and proper respect to the DPRK.--TGC55 (talk) 12:46, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Ripon, Wisconsin

message: Meeting in a Congregational Church in Ripon on February 28, 1854, some thirty opponents of the Nebraska Act called for the organization of a new political party and suggested that Republican would be the most appropriate name (to link their cause with the Declaration of Independence). -- I have always been told/taught that the meetings took place in the Little White Schoolhouse... not the Congregational Church..... This should probably be changed.... 
According to Ripon's Chamber of Commerce:
"In this schoolhouse, on March 20, 1854, the first mass meeting in the country was held that definitely and positively cut loose from old parties and advocated a new party under the name "Republican." "

Talk:George Dickel

message: George Dickel differs from Jack Daniels in the way it performs the Lincoln County Process (charcoal filtering). Jack Daniels drips the whiskey through a vat of sugar maple charcoal, George Dickel drips the whiskey into the vat and fills it to the brim to ensure use of all of the charcoal. The method Jack Daniels uses leaves much of the charcoal unused and some of the charcoal overused, because the dripping of the liquid tends to form channels.

message: An editor recently deleted the note on the relation between Solomon Juneau and the prospector Joseph Juneau as having "undue weight." Solomon Laurent Juneau (son of François Juneau [1758–1839], grandson of François Juneau [1735–1795]) was the first cousin once removed of Joseph Juneau (son of François Xavier Juneau dit Latulippe [married 1832], grandson of Jean Baptiste Juneau [married 1796], great-grandson of François Juneau [1735-1795]). The men are frequently connected in various studies: Alaska, its history, climate and natural resources (1898), Acadian genealogy exchange (1992), The encyclopedia of Native American biography (1998), Native North American firsts (1998), Je me souviens (2002), Alaska and Yukon Tokens: Private Coins of the Territories (2009), etc. They are occasionally misidentified as father and son or as nephew and uncle because the history of Joseph's family is more obscure and earlier biographers presumably did not have access to as many records. I fail to see why mentioning their relationship, which is frequently cited elsewhere, would be considered "undue weight." Doremo (talk) 09:18, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
