Comics Nerd, Book Worm, Cynical Idealist, Mad Historian in Training (WWI and its place in the pop cultures of the major combatants, specifically), Feminist, Whovian, typo-prone, Grrl Dandy, incurable pottymouth, internet-ruining asexual heathen, so-called "Dirty Commy Basturd," and Neurasthenic Farceur. My aim is to study 1900-1950 in Europe and make comics about it, and my general policy is to comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable. I also greatly enjoy tea.

OH MY GOD WHAT
Hell yes! Start at 1914 Band 2 if you’re interested in the WWI-era articles and art; the Weimar era stuff is also really interesting.
[Who am I kidding, it’s all very interesting.]
damn, do I actually have to exercise my citizenship?
I know, I know, I shouldn’t be bitching about this.

Beautiful Russian History Parties? WHERE? WHEN? I WANNA COME!Right now it’s “alone, in my room, on tumblr, all the creys”

If it makes you feel any better, it’s also in my living room, and has merged with the WWI Historiography party that I’m holding.
…Alone.
Hooray us.

The Flammenwerfer: because sometimew you simply have to werf some flammen.
Yeah, Belgium, at least you have internationally recognized borders when you’re invaded. But no, let me play a sad little song for you on my violin—oh, wait, Russia has the violin. And Germany has the bow. And Austria-Hungary stuck a “Kick me” sign on my back this morning and I just now realized it. It’s 5 fucking p.m., Belgium. But go on, tell me about how your life sucks.
I’ve spent most of my morning at work rewriting various pop tunes so that they’re about the Schlieffen Plan.
Dear god, toreasonwhy, what have we done?
