Did they have reporters in Medieval times?  I guess most people couldn't read, so there wouldn't be much point. That, and I'm not sure kings were big on ye olde first amendment rights.

Commentary

Anyone who guessed Carol would be showing up on account of there being a reporter companion in Fallout 4, give yourself a big cookie. You've earned it.

NOW! My understanding of actual town criers is that they worked for the people in charge and made announcements and such on their behalf, so this doesn't really make any sense.

HOWEVER, I'm poking fun at games in which people often misinterpret how pre-apocalypse things worked, so I say this is appropriate and clever and *I* deserve a cookie, too!

Or rather, I would if I knew what exactly a town crier was before writing this comic, which I didn't, really. I looked it up afterward. But still!
