You’re a grand old flagYou’re a high-flying flagAnd forever in peace may you waveYou’re the emblem ofThe land I loveThe home of the free and the braveEv’ry heart beats trueUnder red, white and blueWhere there’s never a boast or bragBut should old acquaintance be forgotKeep your eye on the grand old flag
The flag in the comic has an oddly-organized field of stars. At first it seemed to be 49 stars — but in a plain 7×7 rectangle, which was not actually the arrangement during the one year when we actually had 49 states (Alaska but not yet Hawaii). But on further look, there is an extra star at the top row left end, for 50 after all. But not the clever interlaced scheme of the actual 50-star flag design!

Looking forward to adding a couple more stars to Old Glory.
