 Nukees, The Atomic Comic Strip
This time, it was a strip which I got to preview, in blue pencil, at Comic Con.
Sometimes in comics, a word is bolded because of "vocal emphasis," and other times its bolded because of "contextual importance." I only want to bold in the transcriptions those words that need "vocal emphasis." That means those words in which the sentence seems to mean a different thing when the word is capitalized.
As an example, in the third panel of today's comic, "bards" is a word I wanted to draw attention to, but King Luca wouldn't really be EMPHASIZING it in his speech, so it would remain lower case.

 Crankshaft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the comic strip about an old, curmudgeonly bus driver, see Crankshaft (comic strip).
As the crankshaft undergoes a great deal of sideways load from each cylinder in a multicylinder engine, it must be supported by several such bearings, not just one at each end; this was also a factor in the rise of V8 engines with their shorter crankshafts, in preference to straight-8 engines.
This adds considerably to the weight of the crankshaft; crankshafts from Volkswagen, Porsche, and Corvair flat engines, lacking counterweights, are easily carried around by hand, compared to crankshafts for inline or V engines, which need to be handled and transported as heavy chunks of metal.
