Though I’m doing funny pages stuff today, I’m featuring Dave Whamond’s editorial cartoon on the basis that it’s funny, which seems to be the only way to comment on the Elongated Muskrat’s adventures anymore, as you might have noticed when his rocket blew up yesterday and a wave of schadenfreudey laughter washed over the world.

Stephen Collins reflects on the death of water cooler TV, a combination of too many things to watch, too many ways to watch and too many choices of when to watch. (Larger version here) It comes hard on the heels of a whole lot of Festivus references, which reminds us of the days when we […]

Fair enough, Chip. Now let’s dispense with politics and enjoy some Friday Funnies. Granted, Candorville often riffs […]
