    I can almost guarantee that there were schools named after both Strom Thurmond and George Wallace somewhere at the time this strip was written (if not still today).

    Edit: Strom Thurmond High School, Johnston, SC

    Couldn’t find any schools named after George Wallace, but there are still some streets and other buildings named after him, and at least one school suspiciously named “Wallace” that I suspect was renamed to some other Wallace as an act of malicious compliance.

    Anyway, Huey is right to be pissed off.
