A lateral move, but an important indicator

A few more family annihilators is a small price to pay for to create more borderline family annihilators who DON'T go through with it

I'm playing Oblivion Remastered right now with a Breton who I'm playing like a wood elf, for maximum perversion

Whoa I did not know that!

I feel like I need to give that series another shot

It's in the April 1941 issue, so perhaps this was some sort of extraordinarily dry April Fool's joke? There are no other joke ads or features anywhere in this thing though, so who knows!

So what I think we have here is a very preliminary design proposal for an aircraft type that the Navy at the time would never order and an artist who conjured a chimera by combining visual aspects of the Douglas DB-7 and Brewster Buffalo, on behalf of a company that didn't exist (!?)

Those engines with their top and bottom radiator intakes and big chunky propellor spinners look a LOT like the front end of the Brewster Buffalo fighter

For another, the look of the airplane itself pretty closely resembles the Douglas DB-7 in shape and the glazing on the nose, down to wing arrangement and the underslung engine nacelles. And SPEAKING of which...

...there is a LOT suspicious about this drawing! For one thing, it depicts a carrier deployment for this two engine airplane, but this would have been a wild deviation from Navy carrier aircraft doctrine of the time which exclusively required single engine airplanes due to space constraints.

Truly bleak yet fascinating stuff

His old potato famine bit was a real hit in that vein
