At summer camp, "sailors" were the kids who needed to be woken up and
taken to the bathroom late at night lest they sleep through a call of
nature.
Even at Camp Lord O' The Flies, it never occurred to us to make the
poor little bastards wear uniforms ...

Well, unless the Oct. 15 comic was just an excuse to show off
well-drawn Eurpoean streets, I got a major post-coital vibe; then
again, I tend to get that sort of thing wrong by miles . . .

I guess my mind has shut down this morning, but I don't get anything
from the final panel. Why has an image of Pib appeared on that
cylindrical thingie. And what IS it anyway?

In the first panel, Edda is walking past Manneken Pis - and it's quite
an accurate depiction of the little square, right down to the
do-not-enter sign on the building behind the statue. The part that's
confusing is that this statue, along with the Grand Place which is
only a few hundred yards away down that same street, are the heart of
the touristy district in central Brussels. So where is everybody? What
time of day or night is Edda out walking? Maybe it *is* supposed to be
a sign that the inevitable has finally occured, but if so I'd
appreciate a clearer sign in the days ahead (e.g. Joanie waking up
with Rick's arm around her).
The other two panels look like the same area of Brussels, but I'm not
following what her walk is supposed to be telling us, y'know?
Pibgorn's unexpected cameo isn't helping, either.

I'm somewhat re-assured to hear that even people who recognize everything
in the image so thoroughly have no idea what is actually going on.

Doesn't the lack of people + the lack of time in this storyline
to do touristy things indicate that Edda is probably dreaming?

Maybe Pibgorn has got fed up with the undifferentiated mass
of panels in her own strip and is trying to break into one where
something happens.

That was my conclusion. Either way I'm willing to bet that we're in

I believe the Pibgorn image is actually a building sized mural on a
blank
wall. Such things are common in Paris and Brussels.

Could be.
I just read it as a little touristy vignette as McEldowney is wont to do
on occasion.

Edda is a professional in the corps de ballet of a noted American
company. It doesn't seem odd to me that she's allowed to use practice
facilities, etc., available in Brussels. It'd be odd if she wasn't doing
something to keep in practice.
Given the 10-16 strip, I think it's likely that 10-15 was Edda walking
through the early-morning streets of Brussels.

You're probably right. I would have said "ballet practice" though.

It's a little bit more comics-specific than that.
Belgium is the birth place of and spiritual home to quite a
sizable subsection of the European comic strip universe. Tintin
and the Smurfs are the obvious examples here, but -- trust me on
this -- there are many, many more Belgian artists, authors, and
comics that may not ring much of a bell in the English-speaking
world, but are very well known in France, Belgium, the
Netherlands, etc.
Brussels is keen to style itself as the "Comic Book Capital of
the World", and to recognise, support and exploit this Belgian
comic strip heritage. The _Belgian Center for Comic Strips_ in
Brussels is a wonderful, huge museum and documentation center
dedicated entirely to comics. A decade or so ago, this Center (in
collaboration with the city council, I think) launched the
initiative of the Brussels _Comic Book Route_, where well-known
comic artists were invited to decorate nooks and crannies of the
city with murals depicting their most famous creations.
So if you walk through the city center of Brussels, at any given
moment you can suddenly be confronted with a wall featuring a
giant-size comic strip character or scene. And that is, I think,
why McEldowney has Pibgorn looking down on Edda. It's not only a
nice tip of the hat to everyone who is familiar with the city and
its Comic Book Route and will spot the reference, but who knows,
in the alternate universe of CWL maybe there *is* a Brussels that
features murals of Pibgorn, Bucky, Arlo and Janis, Mutts, Pearls
Before Swine, the Kelpfroths...
The low-res pictures on this page:
<http://www.erasmuspc.com/index.php?task=view&id=258>
don't really do the artwork justice, and most of you won't know
most of these comics anyway, but it should at least give you an
idea of what makes the Comic Book Route such a brilliant concept.

That's neat - its also since my time. My family lived in Waterloo,
just south of Brussels, for seven years. There was a big image
of Tintin on one building on the Brussels ring road, but that was
the extent of the easily visible comics culture in the late 70s.
'Schtroumpfs' were around too.

Oh, Leo, thank you for this link! Even the low-res pictures give a
sense of how breathtaking these are, and the trompe l'oeil effect on
many of them is truly brilliant.
I was last in Brussels in the early 1990s, which must have been before
any of these were up. I can't wait to go back.

A little more recently than that, I think. I was in Brussels in November
1999 and visited the Center. I don't recall any mention of the route at
that time, though I could have missed it.
It was a great museum, well worth several hours to stroll through.
Leo Breebaart
I think you must have missed it. I have seen the murals as early
as 1996, and a quick Google tells me that it goes back to 1991.
However, it's something that has been continually expanded over
time. Google also says that these days there are over 50 murals,
but I'm quite sure that in 1996 there were only a dozen or so, if
that many.

Or I just don't recall mention of it. Too bad, it would have been an
interesting adjunct to wandering about the city.
Mike B
much in Brussels.
But after saying that, I must say the first thing I thought of looking
at the depiction of Pib in the background of that strip was another
city, London, quite a few years ago. I was reminded somewhat of the
huge poster near Picadilly Circus. Having a several-story tall version
of that waif staring down at you was kind of creepy...
