Living Museum

Oct 5, 2024 — Comic #319
A teacher leads students onto a ship’s bridge: “Class, welcome to the Coast Guard Living Museum, which shows what life at sea was like over 60 years ago!” One student says, “So cringe,” another, “I’m putting this on TikTok!” A Coastie protests, “What? No, this is an actual Coast Guard cutter.” Outside, the teacher says, “These reenactors use only the tools of their distant ancestors!” as Coasties seize drug bales from a smuggling boat: “We’re in the middle of a drug bust.” A student sniffs a bale, and a Coastie warns, “Don’t snort that, kid.”
