When I saw this morning’s Prickly City (AMS), I thought it was going to win the “Bad Timing” award, dropping, as it did, the morning after the House preserved the nation’s credit rating, pending Senate approval which seems a lead pipe cinch. Of course, we still have to see how Wall Street responds to the […]
Jason Chatfield takes a shot at audience members who seem to wish they’d been the ones invited to speak on the stage, or perhaps to conduct the interview. The usual comment here would be “There’s one in every crowd,” but there seem to be at least three or four. Audience mikes should have an automatic […]
Jeff Stahler (AMS) raises a question that Hollywood has got to be pondering, because it’s not just about being old. Sportscaster Lindsay Rhodes brought up the same topic and she’s younger than my kids, though, mind you, she is married and has kids of her own, which could be part of the answer. But only […]
As noted here yesterday, the GameStop gambit was not pulled off by youngsters, but I got a laff out of Dave Whamond (Cagle)‘s cartoon anyway, because, regardless of whodunnit, the targets were, indeed, pigs.

Too much subtlety can obscure the point. Second is that they understood that point, and I’m gobsmacked by the number of political cartoonists on both sides […]
Chan Lowe points out what we’ve been seeing on Facebook, which is that what people were warned about six months ago or more is happening now. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was passed in 2017 and so this is the first year it impacts your taxes. There was always a suspicion — big surprise […]
Sherman’s Lagoon creator Jim Toomey has partnered with the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) to create six two-minute videos talking about awareness of environmental issues for our oceans and coastlines. The first one is below. Jim has been involved with several environmental issues both personally and through his strip. He’s called for a ban on […]
