Lincoln-Douglas
by Jeff
Image text: Stephen Douglas actually died soon after the debates and election, but if you demand historical accuracy in your webcomics you should be reading Hark! A Vagrant.
The image text is correct, Lincoln's Gettsyburg Address was in 1863 and Stephen Douglas died in 1861 of Typhoid.
And of course, the link to Hark! A Vagrant.

So…is this one of those “Yo Momma” jokes? I wasn’t entirely sure where the laugh was supposed to be had in this one.

It is a “yo mama” joke. Which is the laugh because that’s the limit of Stephen Douglas’s debating skills.

I don’t know. The best I can come up with – which sort of makes sense to me – I gleaned from looking up Kurt Gödel and M. C. Escher on Wikipedia. It seems to allude to the intractable and circular reality of life – there is nothing new under the sun, and it all goes on and on. Take a look at Escher’s artwork. It will be familiar.
In the end, “what do you do?” Have each other. If the Kurt Halsey is this guy – http://www.kurthalsey.com/category/work/ – then it seems his artwork is quite affectionate and romantic. Love is everything – who cares about all the rest.
That’s all I can come up with – but, I like it.
