> [@Trinopus](#): > > I’m one who believes that Hart intended that strip to be a slam at Islam. Note how the frame that divides the panels widens at the top and bottom, to form a letter “I.” He doesn’t do that in any other strip. What are you talking about? It’s a [plain rectangular space](http://vladtepesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/bc1110g.gif). ---

I remembered it that way clear as day, but it doesn’t seem to be that way. Alzheimer’s moment. (No. 5,228…) I apologize to the thread and to the shade of Mr. Hart. ---

(No. 5,228…) I apologize to the thread and to the shade of Mr. Hart. It seems kinder to the shade of Mr. Hart to remember the comic as a slam against Islam than to remember it as being about the fact that outhouses smell bad. The former interpretation at least gives the comic a point. ---

If they ever put the SDMB in a time capsule, the first person to dig it up 10,000 years later will probably find a thread to post to. “Who is this Oprah person and why can’t she buy a handbag, whatever that is?” ---
