    If he’d built a couple of dome furnaces to go with it, those last two panels might hav e looked more like the PRIVATES of industry…

    That “captain of industry” looks suspiciously similar to a colonel of chicken.

    Captain of Industry Bug looks like he’s smokin’ a big ol’ Doob. Cannot be unseen. Just sayin’.

        Short for “Dooby” slang for a large marijuana joint.

        In he late 1880-1890s America, smoking a large cigar was a status symbol. Anti-big business cartoonist of the era adopted the outsized cigar, the big belly, the monocle and the splayed front stance as icons of the big business leaders of their day. They were probably heavily influenced by the image of J.P. Morgan fused with Teddy Roosevelt.

    I, however, have always been a mover and a shaker.

    There’s a certain feeling one has after having used one’s talents, craftsmanship and mental abilities, after toiling mightily, and then standing back and seeing the result. And then, realizing that all that means nothing, one can relate to some little tiny insect out in the middle of nowhere, wanting to be appreciated, sigh. Bless his heart.
