- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

The notion of a band in a nightclub playing the national anthem is really bizarre to me.
Nightclubs in the 1930s were very different than what we think of as a nightclub now.
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
Not just Europe. Much like today, it was a very popular option for people all over the world, including the good, old US of A.
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.
