Friday’s Baldo (AMS) hit as I was starting to recover from being flat on my back with covid, so it was still painful to laugh but, then again, it was painful to be amused, because I hadn’t even bothered calling my doctor. When I had covid a year or so ago, I couldn’t get in; […]
Sherman’s Lagoon (AMS) is apparently at the start of a story arc that is a departure for the strip, which usually dredges up — in the metaphorical sense — obscure marine life for these odd encounters. As an editor, I might have quibbled with “mythical” in that second panel, since either he’s here or he’s […]
I saw one political cartoon this morning that actually referenced something in the State of the Union speech, and a couple that were clearly drawn before it.

Clay Jones (Ind) strikes the right note on the ridiculous question of whether people deserve the titles they’ve earned. Spoiler: Yes. Plenty of people have noted that the term “dottore” was applied to educators before it was applied to physicians. For that matter, it was applied to educators before there was such a thing as […]
But first, this … Having used Chip Bok‘s cartoon yesterday to illustrate conservatives who dismiss the revelations in the Atlantic because of (fairly standard) anonymous sources, it’s only fair to note that he posted this that morning. Fair enough, Chip. Now let’s dispense with politics and enjoy some Friday Funnies. Granted, Candorville often riffs […]
