Great moments in Scottish medical history. Renowned anatomist John Goodsir announces that he's going into partnership with Thing from The Addams Family.
Image shows a white man with a lugubrious expression, seated, with hands clasped. To his left is an upturned top hat resting on a book. On top of the upturned hat is a strange-looking glove that looks a bit like Thing from The Addams Family.

Ross writes, "although [the ships] had gone through so much hard work, [they] were as sound and ready for further service as on the day we sailed from England".

I have received news of a perfectly named cafe located on the waterfront of Nova Scotia's capital, if you know what I mean
"Broken Man cafe" sign on a big plate glass window, through which one can see cafe tables and chairs and backs of people's heads. In the distance, a sign indicates that this is Pier 22 on the Halifax waterfront

"The Greatest Comic Character Of All Time Is J. Wellington Wimpy," by Tom Spurgeon www.comicsreporter.com/index.php/br...
The Greatest Comic Character of All Time Is J. Wellington Wimpy
posted May 15, 2008
by Tom Spurgeon, comicsreporter.com

Below the headline and dateline is a panel from EC Segar's Thimble Theatre. Wimpy, a mustachioed man with a bulbous nose, a short red tie, a black jacket, and a small brown hat, is sitting at a diner counter. He is being viewed skeptically by the diner's owner Rough-House, a burly man with a bushier mustache, a bald head, a black tie, and an apron tied around his waist. 

WIMPY: I would gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger to-day
ROUGH-HOUSE: Listen, Wimpy — get away from this counter! I'm sick of seeing your faceI'm not certain I could name 200 great comics characters, like Wizard Magazine is the process of doing in conjunction with one of their anniversary issues. I think that by #180 I'd be throwing things out like, "Random Wee Pal!" "Biotron!" "Limon!"

However, I hope that Wizard and all of you will agree with me that little doubt exists as to the #1 greatest comics character in the history of the medium: J. Wellington Wimpy, from EC Segar's Thimble Theatre. All you really have to know about Wimpy is that he'd gladly throw over all of his friends and loved ones for a plate of hamburgers. I found this hysterically funny as a kid; I find it even more so now.

Wimpy is the first modern character in comics, by which I mean he's a contradictory mess leaning towards the awful. He's smart, lazy, annoying, dishonest and completely amoral. He has the best catch phrase of anybody ever -- "I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today" -- which achieves greatness because of the "gladly" and the specificity of "Tuesday." He ignores everybody else on the page and exists in his own bizarre world. He adds nothing in the way of moral instruction. He's every friend you ever had that you couldn't explain to anyone else, and every person you heard a story about that made you mad at the person telling it. He's perfect and I love him. All hail J. Wellington Wimpy.

below this text is a panel from EC Segar's Thimble Theatre. Wimpy is being forcibly pushed through the diner by Rough-House.

WIMPY: No money. No credit. No hamburgers. Woe am I —
ROUGH-HOUSE: If you've got to hang around here go sit at a table out of my sight
