I think we have to assume that Jeremy, in Zits (KFS), has just concluded his junior year (again), since he has a drivers’ license and has recently gone to prom. The humor here is in the “Gather ye rosebuds” element, though many of my friends worked construction that summer, even if they weren’t putting money […]
You’ve likely already seen Sunday’s Doonesbury (AMS), which has not only been posted by a lot of editorial cartoonists but was featured here by my colleague, DD Degg. Now you get to hear what I think. Kim notes in that last panel that newspapers themselves are endangered, which — wit all doo respeck — seems […]
“Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans,” Lennon wrote, but today’s Pearls Before Swine (AMS) suggests that so does pizza.

Wallace the Brave is off to have a terrible picture taken of himself. I remember having a school photo taken and then, two months later, getting to see how horrible it was. School photographers now offer “retake days” for those whose pics were truly ghastly, and I can pick out three or four of my […]
If seeing Notre Dame Cathedral was on your bucket list, you screwed up. Apparently, parts have been saved, but it will be some time before it’s restored, and then it will be restored, and it will be another century before the restoration feels properly a part of the 850-year-old edifice. But you let other things […]
