I remember this detail from a story I know:

He constantly pulls out his hip flask to take a swig. People ask: how can you get drunk at such a difficult time? He answers: It's not liquor, it's a mixture of bile and vinegar to keep me sober.

I wonder how nice life pre internet and TV/Radio networks would have been like, all your news comes from either word of mouth, postal letters or local print newspaper, and by the nature of the speed of these communications, most of the news will be just local stuff that has relevance to you. Who cares if there's a massive war or famine or plague or genocide happening on the other side of the planet, all you need to be concerned about is stuff happening around you. I don't think our mind is built for the fire hose of worldwide news info that the internet shoves in our face nowadays.

Something would happen, and you’d hear rumors all day at work or school and nothing would be confirmed until the next day’s newspaper came out. It wasn’t great.

No the best time was the early Internet days when you had fast access to news and information before people realized that engagement = money and the more pissed off people got the more they would engage.

Also most people generally accepted that facts were you know true, and not just living in their own made up universe.

There was enough tragedy amongst locals to suffice.

Also, in America at least, we still had the fairness doctrine. When it was repealed during the Reagan administration, we got "news personalities" like Rush Limbaugh and low-quality infotainment like the view and fox news.

Why is the second guy doing a hitler salute in the first panel?

The hand is too far up, the person is clearly waving/signaling to their friend

It looked to me like he just backhanded him across the head.

Now I cant unsee the Heil

Dude get your facts right. The Hitler salute is a 45 degree angle and a stiff straight posture. Also one very important part of the salute is to say "Heil Hitler"
