"The owners of the land came onto the land, or more often a spokesman for the owners came… If a bank or finance company owned the land, the owner man said, The Bank - or the Company - needs - wants - insists - must have - as though the Bank or the Company were a monster, with thought and feeling, which had ensnared them. These last would take no responsibility for the banks or companies because they were men and slaves, while the banks were machines and masters all at the same time."
The Grapes of Wrath (John Steinbeck)

Thank you so much, everyone!Remember: new title, same great content! EDIT: The Tumblr URL will change to jl8comic.tumblr.com on Sept. 1. If you follow the Tumblr, you’ll be fine. If you read the comic via bookmarking, I’d probably go ahead and bookmark that new page.

But Jordan added, “In recent years, creators of children’s programming have worked hard to improve diversity and include strong female characters.”
