That seems to depend on the browser security/privacy settings.  I have three (diffrent) browsers with varying "paranoia" settings, two bring up the page without log-in, one does not.  Confess I haven't worked out what the critical setting(s) might be as yet (setup and addressable items vary a fair bit between the browsers).

Probably not a good idea to relent on security settings anyway.  There are more infected sites around that ever and (hear my refrain), with exploits on them seeking to aid the ungodly in owning; first your computer, next your bank account, next all your other property both real and moveable and next the same for your descendents in perpetuity or at least until the heat death of the universe.  Not to put too fine a point upon it.

But it's the exerpted script that is "the story" (I think), probably no harm in quoting a little of that.  Todd, a cross-eyed rabbit is at an interview table, in manacles/handcuffs, the time is the present- Do you still claim to have been an infantry man in the first world war ?
- Yes.
- Can you explain that ?
- Absolutely.

(JACK - Arc XXXIX: The Seventh Wall)

Todd is a character of the webcomic created by David Hopkins

The humour of the situation escapes me. Is it meant to be funny? I've always seen this one: http://www.histomil.com/download/file.php?id=2109&t=1 as one of the best hindsights about the nature of the Great War!

I can't speak for anyone else Diego, but what I take from the first cartoon is the slight absurdity of we (or some of us), in this forum, immersing ourselves so much in the minute detail of that horrible war (for our various reasons) that we might almost think we were there. But we recreate it so we don't forget it, so much has been lost already.

Het gekkenhuis (oud liedje, nieuwe wijs) "That madhouse (an old song with a new point)" which you point to. Yes, that is a powerful commentary - here is a link to a more detailed version:

All right, I should have explained at the outset that this is a fan art drawing for a supernatural-themed furry webcomic titled Jack, and I won't provide a direct link to it because it's very unsafe for work:

The overall theme of the comic is about Heaven, Hell, and great evil, and is very adult and not to everyone's taste.  (One reviewer compared it to Donnie Darko.)

I admit my main reason for placing this cartoon here is that it's an extremely rare reference to WW1 in comics outside Snoopy and the Red Baron in Peanuts.
