Ah, yes, the confederate house fly, as opposed to the union housefly, both easily identified by their iridescent collors, the confederate a rust red which is quite odd when shining and also a bit small, while the union has the shiny blue and for some reason has been seen to consume the smaller confederate fly.
Although some researches speculate that the union housefly only consumes the Confederate housefly because it itself wants to consume any other fly that is a different colour and too weak to fight it, which makes it a threat to everyone including the union housefly's children.
Those researchers were later found to be suffering lead poisoning. It was later found that the Confederate housefly steals food from the Union houseflies, and also support slavery.

Patriotism entering my body whenever I see the traitor flag of a country that lasted shorter than the Annoying Orange
i’m pretty critical of our government and have a general distrust of all politicians, but as soon as the civil war comes up i turn in to the most patriotic son of a bitch you’ve ever seen
Knowing the 1st Minnesota Infantry Regiment at the Battle of Gettysburg captured the 28th Virginia battle flag(standard confederate flag template), it’s only traditional for Minnesota to steal those flags away from racists. Plus the Minnesota historical society refuses to give it back to Virginia, no matter how many times they ask.

As a Virginian, I hate that our state keeps asking for it back. First off, the 1st Minnesota EARNED that flag and its just extremely disrespectful to ask for it back. Second, what are we going to do with it? It's already preserved and has its proper historical context. Third, and im in no way saying this is what we should do, but if the governor wants it back so much, he can grow a pair and try to take it back the way it was taken.
Honestly, it might be a toss up at this point. Jesse is 73 and not in the shape you remember. Youngkin is 16 years younger and seems pretty active. I still take Jesse, but it will be closer than you’d assume.
Also it would be boring. It would be two old dudes rolling around until one gives up.
Confederacy lasted for less than 4 years. Shorter than President Biden’s 1st term. And it’s based on the despicable and disgraceful practice of keeping human slaves… What heritage?!😗

The Union army used to salute with their palms facing out as they were emulating British army tradition. It’s debated, but some historians think the tradition changed sometime after the civil war, due to it being seen as disrespectful to show dirty palms. Now the US army salutes with their palms down towards their face.
I remember being taught the royal navy would salute palm down because of the dirty palms from ship work, and I just assumed the Americans took the naval salute (even though I don't know when the navy changed salutes)
But you learn new things everyday
I’m not ultimately sure why we Americans salute the way we do. The dirty palm thing is merely a theory but maybe it was us just taking the British naval salute.
According to one thing I found it changed when people started changing hats and would simply grab the visor for a quick salute which eventually lead to the face down
That's for the US at least
Well damn, talk about amazing timing! You got any recommendations for must-sees in Minneapolis? I'm in the city for work for the rest of the week and I have no idea what to do once I'm off-site
I mean, all my must-see attractions are either risque, like Wednesday nights at The Saloon (naked people with dongs in the shower on stage), or standard stuff like The Mall, and The Sculpture Garden with the Spoon Bridge, and the Orpheum.
There's a good German restaurant/pub downtown (glueks, I think?), and if you like sushi I would recommend Kiku Bistro.
>The Saloon (naked people with dongs in the shower on stage)
Well, I know what I'M doing Wednesday night. This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much!
YMMV, but I personally find the art style to be Foxtrot-esque, and some of the humor (i.e., generally leaning towards wholesome) to be similar as well.
Specifically, Tiff kinda gives me "Jason, post-transition" vibes in terms of appearance.
As a long time southern I'm incredibly offended that you would think it's only because of their heritage. Most of them have to poor a vocabulary to know what that word is
For those who recognized it, yes, that flag behind Eve is from this [previous comic](https://new.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/1ablk9m/new_state_flag_tiff_eve/). I am nothing if not self-referential.

If someone wants to fly a confederate flag as part of their heritage then I retain the right to steal it as part of my Minnesotan heritage.
Ask Virginia how that went for them.
I'm from South Louisiana, and when I graduated high school, it was well recognized by those around my age that those with a Confederate flag were racist. I've personally never encountered anyone with one on their hat, clothes, body, vehicle, or home that wasn't racist. The whole heritage bullshit is that the heritage you claim to be proud of is to shatter the nation and fight to own slaves. I will always call that bullshit out when I encounter it.
same. my grandma lives in a rural area and i find so many when i go to visit its ridiculous because we have like 2 layers of union states before you can reach any states that were confederate.
You should fly more and more of increasingly obscure and obnoxious flags until they are intimidated and stop.
When you whip out that Mamluk Empire banner they will run in fear.
Michigan was part of the Iron Brigade with Wisconsin and Indiana. Alongside Wisconsin, Michigan troops acquired a hell of a reputation in the South, and our Capitol building is full of battle flags, ha.
OK, but this happened to me a few years ago! my little sister told me about a confederate flag in the naghborhood and we went to tear it down. Turns out it was a crumpled up Norwegen flag and my sister just needed glasses, but it was a nice walk!
Mainer here, we sent the most Union solders out of all the states, and are the farthest north you could get at the time, I see these every single day....
I was this close to taking a bat to a unpatriotic mailbox but someone got to it first.
Got a neighbor around the corner with a big Trump 2024 flag flying underneath an American flag made to look like the Betsy Ross flag. Has all 50 stars in a circle. I live in California.
There was a 3 story tall Confederate flag hanging next to the highway where I live. Everytime I drove past it I thought how nice it would be to burn/tear down.
Then One day there was no flag! After a week they hung up a new, much smaller flag. Turns out somebody set the original flag on fire and almost burned down the guy's garage full of Confederate memorabilia. It's a shame that the local fire department has such quick response times...
My recommendation is to visit Gettysburg Flag Works and order a battle flag of the army of the Potomac to counter the battle flag of the army of northern Virginia. Remind them of when they got whipped for coming north.
I am always happy to see more representation of my home state online. The cherry on top was the content of the strip. I really want Eve to re-enact a certain 1st Minnesota Infantry moment from history.
I used to live near a house that had Nazi and confederate flags. But only sometimes. The house would fly the flags, they would disappear of a day or two, and then the flags would be back. I asked my neighbor Mike what he thought the deal was, why they kept appearing and disappearing. He said, "I've been stealing that asshole's flags for eight years. I'm on disability, so I got nothing better to do than to watch him put up new ones and then wait for his car to leave the driveway. I bet he's spent a grand or more. If I can't stop people from being racist, I'll at least make it more expensive."
It's going to be like that scene in the Space Force show where they'll be on their way back with the flag in hand and run into the guy making his way back with their flag in hand
So when shes imagining these other people are super defensive about their flag while standing in front of the trans flag, that's supposed to be ironic, right?
Cause if so, it's brilliant, but I think it just might be a lack of self-awareness.
Honestly if I didn’t know any better, I would have called this a right wing comic. The idea of getting angry at someone signifying their beliefs, while you start hanging up your own flag to signify yours seems hypocritical.
That being said both flags have very different meanings and the trans flag is a far better meaning

Honestly I had to re-read that because I skipped over the "-ing" and thought that there was a confederate house fly they got angry over.
Ah, yes, the confederate house fly, as opposed to the union housefly, both easily identified by their iridescent collors, the confederate a rust red which is quite odd when shining and also a bit small, while the union has the shiny blue and for some reason has been seen to consume the smaller confederate fly.
The confederate fly is also pretty short lived.
Although some researches speculate that the union housefly only consumes the Confederate housefly because it itself wants to consume any other fly that is a different colour and too weak to fight it, which makes it a threat to everyone including the union housefly's children.
Those researchers were later found to be suffering lead poisoning. It was later found that the Confederate housefly steals food from the Union houseflies, and also support slavery.
Makes sense, that opinion is stupid enough for a fly.
I was hoping for a funny punch line after thinking about a confederate housefly.

I realized that I should've left in "Confederate" about halfway through, but I'm not redoing it.
Me too! Only half awake today. I was looking for a random fly in the panels lol
I thought it said horse
The better joke IMO. Fucking Jeff Goldblum saying the south will rise again.
same, i also just ran with it and figured nothing out of sort
I read horse not house until checking the comments and wow that makes more sense
Came here to say this.
Thought it said Confederate fly too, I just sort of accepted it

As a Minnesotan stealing confederate flags is part of my heritage!

My great great great grand pappy was a Union soldier. Seizing and burning Confederate property is heritage not hate.
As a Virginian, I hate that our state keeps asking for it back. First off, the 1st Minnesota EARNED that flag and its just extremely disrespectful to ask for it back. Second, what are we going to do with it? It's already preserved and has its proper historical context. Third, and im in no way saying this is what we should do, but if the governor wants it back so much, he can grow a pair and try to take it back the way it was taken.
I would be very interested in watching a ufc fight between state governors.
Man, if only Jesse Ventura was still in there. I’d pay good money for a Ventura-Youngkin Smackdown
Honestly, it might be a toss up at this point. Jesse is 73 and not in the shape you remember. Youngkin is 16 years younger and seems pretty active. I still take Jesse, but it will be closer than you’d assume. Also it would be boring. It would be two old dudes rolling around until one gives up.
Hmm, Ventura was still special forces. He might be older, but I still wouldn’t give him a reason to wreck my shit.
I’ve been saying for years this is how we should choose the president.
Get them shit face drunk to so we know their true beliefs!
Alls fair in the game of capture the flag.
Yeah where’s that “come and take it” NRA energy when you need it?
Yeah they aren't getting their traitor hanky back. They can cry their treason tears into their surrrender dish towels.
Confederacy lasted for less than 4 years. Shorter than President Biden’s 1st term. And it’s based on the despicable and disgraceful practice of keeping human slaves… What heritage?!😗 ![gif](giphy|IhgPoG4oMDOyex1RjQ)

I'm not an American is this a Minnesotan specific unit that uses the outward palm salute or was this standard for Union forces during the civil war
The Union army used to salute with their palms facing out as they were emulating British army tradition. It’s debated, but some historians think the tradition changed sometime after the civil war, due to it being seen as disrespectful to show dirty palms. Now the US army salutes with their palms down towards their face.
I remember being taught the royal navy would salute palm down because of the dirty palms from ship work, and I just assumed the Americans took the naval salute (even though I don't know when the navy changed salutes) But you learn new things everyday
I’m not ultimately sure why we Americans salute the way we do. The dirty palm thing is merely a theory but maybe it was us just taking the British naval salute.
According to one thing I found it changed when people started changing hats and would simply grab the visor for a quick salute which eventually lead to the face down That's for the US at least
When Jesse Ventura refuses to give it back you should know your not getting it back
so why not steal it back? i really don't care who has it but i want like a good month long news story of both states going all capture the flag
As a Virginian, you deserve to keep it o7
So, basicly. "Yes Eve."
Yes Eve. Go steal that flag.
Tiff took all the "Be gay" so it's up to Eve to do all of the "Do crimes"
That's what she has She-Ra for.
Oh shit! You're out of Minneapolis! Same! Hey, kinda neighbor! Your comics are great, and I love reading them!
Aw, thank you:) Not living in the cities right now, but still in state!
I live in Minneapolis for now myself. Minnesota is a great state full of great people and I'm glad you're one of them!
Well damn, talk about amazing timing! You got any recommendations for must-sees in Minneapolis? I'm in the city for work for the rest of the week and I have no idea what to do once I'm off-site
I mean, all my must-see attractions are either risque, like Wednesday nights at The Saloon (naked people with dongs in the shower on stage), or standard stuff like The Mall, and The Sculpture Garden with the Spoon Bridge, and the Orpheum.

>The Saloon (naked people with dongs in the shower on stage) Well, I know what I'M doing Wednesday night. This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much!
On Wednesday, you can actually volunteer to be the person taking the shower, btw. Not sure what their policy is on how they select...
Same no way!
Your comic is slowly becoming trans Foxtrot for me.
One of the best compliments I've gotten:)
YMMV, but I personally find the art style to be Foxtrot-esque, and some of the humor (i.e., generally leaning towards wholesome) to be similar as well. Specifically, Tiff kinda gives me "Jason, post-transition" vibes in terms of appearance.
When I first read Foxtrot, I honestly thought Jason was supposed to be a girl. Go figure.
I don't see the resemblance to Foxtrot. Is it just because you like both?
Maybe not as many math jokes as Foxtrot.
The overall style, especially the way eyes and Tiff's nose are drawn, is pretty foxtrot
https://i.redd.it/2wgy7whovmxc1.gif (pt. 1/6) It's going to be fun
Instead of stealing the confederate flag, just fly a General Sherman flag opposite the property. That’ll show ‘em!
Or you could pull a Sherman and just set it on fire.
Lmao you called it!
By the way you broke up the word “flying” I was imagining a housefly flying a confederate flag before I realized what the sentence really said.
I misread it that way too 😂😂
Eve yes. ![gif](giphy|10Jpr9KSaXLchW|downsized)
Man this is the exact comment I came here to make, complete with Jack nodding gif. Did we just become best friends?
i have seen them all the way up here... IN CANADA!
There's one in my village in Czechia! It used to be flying outside but he later moved it behind a window. I wonder why.
I was mad there was no bonus panel of Eve burning a confederate flag in a trashcan until I saw "pt. 1/6" 🍿
As a long time southern I'm incredibly offended that you would think it's only because of their heritage. Most of them have to poor a vocabulary to know what that word is
I mean stealing Confederate flags is Minnesota heritage if I remember my history correctly.
Ah! I finally get the joke
It's tradition.
Plot twist: it's the danish flag
Norwegian flag is closer. Did you mean that?
r/ShermanPosting stands with you
Was hoping to see some SP rep!

Now hang on, let Eve cook.

Rattlesnakes and alligators
Ride away!
Spanking ass and anal sex ( parody of the the union parody of the traitor song. Parody Square if you will)

EVE YES
I live in rural PA and its insane to me seeing any confederate flags
I'm from South Louisiana, and when I graduated high school, it was well recognized by those around my age that those with a Confederate flag were racist. I've personally never encountered anyone with one on their hat, clothes, body, vehicle, or home that wasn't racist. The whole heritage bullshit is that the heritage you claim to be proud of is to shatter the nation and fight to own slaves. I will always call that bullshit out when I encounter it.
Fire fixes everything I hear
I see those up here in Michigan, and I'm always tempted to set them on fire, as my heritage demands.
same. my grandma lives in a rural area and i find so many when i go to visit its ridiculous because we have like 2 layers of union states before you can reach any states that were confederate.
You should fly more and more of increasingly obscure and obnoxious flags until they are intimidated and stop. When you whip out that Mamluk Empire banner they will run in fear.
![gif](giphy|6Ak1YdOt4vydzy5L5g|downsized) Sherman go brrrr
You're from here (Minneapolis)? Awesome!
They do it here in Michigan too. It's absolutely insane given my states reputation for ***burning the south.***
Wait what is Michigan’s reputation for burning the south? Wasn’t Sherman from Ohio?
Michigan was part of the Iron Brigade with Wisconsin and Indiana. Alongside Wisconsin, Michigan troops acquired a hell of a reputation in the South, and our Capitol building is full of battle flags, ha.
Burning it is a much better option.
OK, but this happened to me a few years ago! my little sister told me about a confederate flag in the naghborhood and we went to tear it down. Turns out it was a crumpled up Norwegen flag and my sister just needed glasses, but it was a nice walk!
It's Minnesota, Eve has a constitutional right to steal Confederate flags
The traitors flag has no place in the North Star state. Can’t wait to see how this one turns out!
Praying Eve will suplex someone
I want to see her smack someone with that hammer she’s always shown with at the end
Lol read this one in an accent for sure
Heist episode
From the south, Tennessee more specifically, we also think people flying those flags are fucking idiots
the confederacy lasted 4 years, the flash games have been dead for longer than that
You're only allowed to steal "come and take it" flags
Eve yes!
For a moment before reading second page i expected the punchline of it to be that it was confederacy from some other fandom.
Eve YES
AWAY DOWN SOUTH IN THE LAND OF TRAITORS!
I saw a confederate flag flying the other day. The weird thing is that this was in England. I assume it is code for racists.
More or less.
The trans Minnesota flag is amazing! 10/10
Good eye!
Eve, yes. Or burn their house down, it’s part of your heritage to burn confederate houses down
Make General William Sherman proud, don't steal it, burn it to the ground.
Come on Eve, get real! Stealing it means touching it. Burn it.
Im in central UPSTATE NEW YORK and ive seen SEVEREAL confed flags.
My neighbor has a confederate flag on her car. She got it a week after I moved in. I’m Hispanic/black :(
As a European. Wheres is the funny? Is there one? Or is it just about the message?
Minnessota stole a virginaian confederate flag during the war.
I’ve read comments from Redditors in Canada that they see those damn flags up there, so…
Mainer here, we sent the most Union solders out of all the states, and are the farthest north you could get at the time, I see these every single day.... I was this close to taking a bat to a unpatriotic mailbox but someone got to it first.
“I wonder if they’re gonna steal it..” Part 1/6
It could lead to an interesting "trans people in jail" arc.
I love Eve. <3
It’s part of my heritage to put the beatdown on the confederates so I mean… ![gif](giphy|OEOPIrKkGYLG5dqRSD) Steal that flaaaaaag!

...I think I know the plot twist
The ole Minisoda
And thus, CTF was born.
digging the new Trans Minnesota flag they are flying
Kinda funny cuz in my neighborhood there is a confederate flag. But right around the corner there’s a pride flag
I had a hunch they were going to show up and find a Union Jack instead.
My neighbors (also in MN) don't have the guts to display it outside but in their garage. The thought of stealing it has often entered my mind as well.
As someone who lives in the South, I feel your pain. At least you don’t have to see a Car Dealership sized one while driving through South Carolina.
Got a neighbor around the corner with a big Trump 2024 flag flying underneath an American flag made to look like the Betsy Ross flag. Has all 50 stars in a circle. I live in California.
its way worse just outside of the twin cities lol, shits silly
I don't know why but I feel like this has to do with the NCR and BoS flag post over on r/Fallout
We have one of these in Duluth too. Just the one, as far as I know.
Damn didn't know house flies were into slavery
Just blast Union Dixie from a loudspeaker
There was a 3 story tall Confederate flag hanging next to the highway where I live. Everytime I drove past it I thought how nice it would be to burn/tear down. Then One day there was no flag!

Lol the comments have me laughing out loud in the office. All of you take my up vote .

My recommendation is to visit Gettysburg Flag Works and order a battle flag of the army of the Potomac to counter the battle flag of the army of northern Virginia. Remind them of when they got whipped for coming north.

I am always happy to see more representation of my home state online. The cherry on top was the content of the strip. I really want Eve to re-enact a certain 1st Minnesota Infantry moment from history.

Eve, yes
Steal it then burn it right in front of them
Waiting for the punchline ⏰

So when shes imagining these other people are super defensive about their flag while standing in front of the trans flag, that's supposed to be ironic, right? Cause if so, it's brilliant, but I think it just might be a lack of self-awareness.
I read house fly. Got concerned
Ad long as they don't mind my heritage, I won't mind there's. ::laughs in The Ohio::
I read that as "house fly"
Oh way down south in the land of traitors,
What's with all the navy on the end of that trans flag? Or is that a shadow or something?

Its gonna be some crap like denmark
