1) Welcome Back!!!
2) I made an account just to add the following comment about this comic: Pooing in the river isn't just a French thing. Vox did an informational video about Paris's sewage problem ahead of the Olympics [1]. Apparently Paris has what's called a 'combined sewer system' where waste water from homes and drainage from rain water is piped through the same pipes. When there is too much rain, the overflow is released into a nearby waterway. These were built in cities across the world from the late 19th century through the early years of the 20th century.
