TIL that “Fritzi Ritz” was the comic strip that eventually turned into “Nancy”.

It ran as Fritzi Ritz from 1922-1938

    The notion of a band in a nightclub playing the national anthem is really bizarre to me.

        Yeah of course, the scene looks more like a cabaret/ dinner and a show type of place. But the national anthem still feels like a weird inclusion

          the spanish civil war was happening and fascism was rising again in Europe, politics was probably very popular

      Its a very different scene in so many regards. I find it incomprehensible that an entire audience of people would notice a bald person, let alone all stop as one in the middle of the national anthem to laugh at them.

      People in the past had no concepts of chill or minding their own business.
