This one is for all my comrades: as you can see I have not given up the struggle, I am educating the masses through the medium of comics. Trotsky did spend three months in the same underwear in 1898, Kherson prison.
“Prisoner’s stew was given to me once a day, for dinner. A ration of rye bread with salt was breakfast and supper. I had long discussions with myself as to whether I should increase my morning portion at the expense of the evening one. The morning arguments in favor of an increase seemed quite senseless and criminal at night; at supper-time, I hated the person who had treated himself at breakfast. I didn’t have a change of linen. For three months I had to wear the same underwear, and I had no soap. The vermin there were eating me alive. ” – Leon Trotsky, My Life
