30. X was a comic strip that was supposed to be contemporary, but
it never looked that way. There were almost no modern
trappings. There may be cars or telephones, but that’s about it.
There were always shadings of nostalgia in the strip. Part of that
has to do with the fact that x’s creator y, was already an old man
in his late sixties when he created the character by accident. X is
autonomous in the Saturday evening post strips. X would not
pick up a regular cast of characters, all with no proper names,
only titles: the mother, the dog, the bully, the little girl, until it
became a WilliamRandolph Hearst comic strip.

of God and good that would protect the truth and destroy evil and
tyranny. The wordY means “mercy brought forth”. Id X and y?
