Arlo and Janis offer incisive commentary on the owner-side of the housing boom and how little it should matter to those who are already in a house, particularly one with a locked-in low-interest 30-year mortgage. This is an excellent time for them to stay put and do nothing. As he notes, they’d be unlikely to […]
We’re avoiding politics today, but that doesn’t mean unbridled frivolity. Betty (AMS) brings up a thorny question, which is how to be fair to workers without encouraging predatory management? Before we were bullied by card readers, hopeful counter help put out tip jars. You still see those, but now that nobody carries cash anymore, there’s […]
If you’re gift-shopping for a middle schooler, here’s When Pigs Fly, a graphic novel we can pretty well guarantee they won’t already have, since it won’t be published until next week.

I was never particularly thrilled with school, but it was like a job that pays reasonably well and doesn’t suck. Except a few years when it did: If you got a toxic teacher in […]
While everyone is freaking out over the coronavirus, Greg Cravens is adapting his own date with disaster as a story arc in Buckets, which begins here with the above strip, from which you can move forward, and it’s not over yet. I made a reference to Hong Kong Flu the other day which might have […]
I posted the teaser a while back. I’m excited to see this one.
