In my defense, unlike Wallace the Brave (AMS), I’m retired and don’t have to know what day it is. The post office is closed from noon Saturday until Monday, which is when the Chinese restaurants and barber shops are closed. That’s about it. Now that I’m retired, I don’t get a haircut very often and, […]
Big Nate (AMS) has wisely enlisted Dee Dee to help him find a Christmas present for his sister, which sends our brave lad into the forbidden world of estrogen. I like that Dee Dee uses the term “cute,” because it’s one of the most flexible terms in the female lexicon and can be applied to […]
Andertoons (AMS) rekindles a real hatred of mine, because, when I was a little kid, I looked forward to the part of Art Linkletter’s House Party where that simpering sack of s*** rewarded children for showing off. Bill Cosby took over the franchise in later years, but by then (A) I’d recovered from the notion […]

I almost always disagree with AF Branco (Creators) but it’s not hard to figure out his rightwing fringe take on things. This one makes no sense, though, unless he preferred the succession of liars, obstructionists […]

I start each morning with a wander through Facebook and Twitter and this felt like a good day not to engage. But then I got to the comics and Candorville (WPWG) stopped me […]
Timing Is Everything Dept. — Man, I wish I’d had today’s Non Sequitur (AMS) yesterday when I was defending Dylan’s decision to sell his catalog rather than administer it himself. Wiley penned this well before the announcement, but he does sum it up nicely. Arlo, in Arlo & Janis (AMS), frequently reflects on age, […]
We’ll start this week with a humorous Sunday downer from Reply All. That is, it’s humorous on its own as Lizzie and Drew dicker over what to do with their basement. But it’s kind of a downer if you’ve been around the housing industry very long, because I can’t tell you how many builders told […]
