Freshly Squeezed (comic Strip)
''Freshly Squeezed'' was an American comic strip, written and illustrated by Ed Stein, also the cartoonist of ''Denver Square'' comic strip for the ''Rocky Mountain News''. ''Freshly Squeezed'' began in 2010 — chronicling the life of an inter-generational family which has united after the economic collapse — and ended in October 2014. Publication history The main inspiration for Stein to start ''Freshly Squeezed'' was the rising tide of multi-generational families. The comic was in a way a sequel to ''Denver Square'' (which ran from January 12, 1997, to May 21, 2008). Most of the characters were directly taken from that strip. However, Ed Stein has restyled them. ''Freshly Squeezed'' was syndicated by United Features Syndicate. It started running on September 20, 2010, on the syndicate's website, Comics.com. On Sunday, October 19, 2014, ''Freshly Squeezed'' ended. "Well, I’ve decided to quit drawing ''Freshly Squeezed''; after 36 years of meeting daily deadlines it’s t ...

Comic Strip
A comic strip is a sequence of drawings, often cartoons, arranged in interrelated panels to display brief humor or form a narrative, often serialized, with text in balloons and captions. Traditionally, throughout the 20th and into the 21st century, these have been published in newspapers and magazines, with daily horizontal strips printed in black-and-white in newspapers, while Sunday papers offered longer sequences in special color comics sections. With the advent of the internet, online comic strips began to appear as webcomics. Strips are written and drawn by a comics artist, known as a cartoonist. As the word "comic" implies, strips are frequently humorous. Examples of these gag-a-day strips are '' Blondie'', ''Bringing Up Father'', ''Marmaduke'', and ''Pearls Before Swine''. In the late 1920s, comic strips expanded from their mirthful origins to feature adventure stories, as seen in ''Popeye'', ''Captain Easy'', ''Buck Rogers'', ''Tarzan'', and ''Terry and the Pira ...

Economic Collapse
Economic collapse, also called economic meltdown, is any of a broad range of bad economic conditions, ranging from a severe, prolonged depression with high bankruptcy rates and high unemployment (such as the Great Depression of the 1930s), to a breakdown in normal commerce caused by hyperinflation (such as in Weimar Germany in the 1920s), or even an economically caused sharp rise in the death rate and perhaps even a decline in population (such as in countries of the former USSR in the 1990s). Often economic collapse is accompanied by social chaos, civil unrest and a breakdown of law and order. Cases There are few well documented cases of economic collapse. One of the best documented cases of collapse or near collapse is the Great Depression, the causes of which are still being debated. "To understand the Great Depression is the Holy Grail of macroeconomics." — Ben Bernanke (1995) Bernanke's comment addresses the difficulty of identifying specific causes when many factors ma ...

Textual devices such as speech balloons, captions, and onomatopoeia can indicate dialogue, narration, sound effects, or other information.

Veteran
A veteran () is a person who has significant experience (and is usually adept and esteemed) and expertise in a particular occupation or field. A military veteran is a person who is no longer serving in a military. A military veteran that has served directly in combat in a war is further defined as a war veteran (although not all military conflicts, or areas in which armed combat took place, are necessarily referred to as ''wars''). Military veterans are unique as a group as their lived experience is so strongly connected to the conduct of war in general and application of professional violence in particular. Therefore, there are a large body of knowledge developed through centuries of scholarly studies that seek to describe, understand and explain their lived experience in and out of service. Griffith with colleagues provides an overview of this research field that addresses veterans general health, transition from military service to civilian life, homelessness, veteran empl ...
