Granted, David Rowe is an Australian and not a proper Brit, but I take some comfort in not being the only person who has had enough of all this, and, after all, she is on his money. IMHO, he’s right on the money as well. I saw a promo for live coverage of the Queen’s […]
Sage Stossel gets as political as I’m planning to be today, the Yea! factor here being that the minions are being exposed, the Boo! factor being that they exist at all. And Boo! to the sinless purists who condemn people like Leibovich and Miller for having ever been in the mud, even though they stepped […]
I’m not in the mood for politics today and we’ll certainly get a heapin’ helpin’ whether I want it or not. But I will share Marty Two Bulls’ take on the anniversary because it cracked me up. I think it’s the trunk/snout, combined with the desperate expression and the obvious falsehood. If you want a […]
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 […]
Tim Campbell (WPWG)‘s joke notwithstanding, one of the first things we learned in business law is that a price tag is not binding and that both parties are free to bargain until some kind of consideration changes hands. That’s obvious with the sticker on an automobile window, less so with a tag on a can […]
Today’s Frazz (AMS) reminds me of my father saying that some people duck down behind a protective fence to avoid getting hit with pies, but then can’t resist taking a peek to see if the pie-thrower is still there, and WHAP! He didn’t say it in a disapproving way, mind you. It was an observation […]
I have nothing to comment about over this Pat Byrnes panel, except that, for someone with such a simple style, it’s remarkable how he builds the gag through their respective facial expressions. Someone working in more detail would have a harder time drawing our eyes to that. And well after getting the joke, I look […]
Reality Check (AMS) serves a heapin’ helpin’ of “Tom Swifties,” based on cartoon characters, Tom Swifties being a fad of the early 60s. This Wikipedia article explains the phenomenon, which drew from a foible of the syndicated authors of the Tom Swift adventure series, who avoided the simple “said,” and gives examples both of the […]
Clay Bennett (CTFP) starts our discussion of health issues. We’re awash in misinformation and disinformation, and this was quite the week, even for poor Baby Tuckoo, who specializes in purposefully spreading it. Not only did he get called a bad human being, but one of the few people willing to advertise on his show no […]
