1918! I meant 1918!

I goofed.

I thought I was bein' all clever with my reference to the Spanish Flu Pandemic from the early-20th century...and then I go and call it the "1911 Spanish Flu".

As dozens of historians have reminded me by e-mail, it actually reached it's height in 1918.

And thus, I once again learn that cartooning is the art of making 50,000 people laugh and enjoy themselves...and making 50 people kick into OCD-mode over their particular area of specialization.
