A day for catching up on various things, and we’ll start with today’s Zits (KFS), in which it turns out Jeremy’s podcast was everything I thought it would be and less. I have no idea how much pain is yet to come, because some threads become part of the strip and others drop and disappear, […]
Today’s Zits (KFS) illustrates the problem I have with podcasts. It’s not that they’re a collection of belches and farts, exactly, but they tend to be just about that rigorous in the way they’re set up and planned out. There’s already a certain amount of ego involved in thinking people want to know what’s on […]
Bob Eckstein starts us off today with a cartoon that is only “bathroom humor” by implication, but, then, if you don’t know the expression he’s alluding to, you won’t get the joke. I laughed because I tend to lump podcasts and videos into the category of things I don’t much follow. I like to read, […]
That headline: “Potpourri” used to be a category in Jeopardy which I think was a chance to use questions that hadn’t been chosen in previous games. I haven’t seen it in a long time (hence “Art”) but, then, it’s been awhile since I’ve watched Jeopardy, which brings us to Non Sequitur (AMS) and some suppressed […]

In our case, we suspect it’s the airport, which is on a hilltop and therefore never in agreement with temperatures anywhere else. So […]
Edison Lee (KFS) doesn’t say everything I’ve been thinking about this, but he says enough. One of the things popping up on my social media feed again lately has been calls for term limits. We’ve got term limits. They’re called “elections.” If they don’t work, the answer is in this comic strip, because Congressmembers spend […]
I try to avoid politics on Friday, but when La Cucaracha, working in advance, manages to hit the timing jackpot, it’s worth a mention. The latest bit of presidential quackery seems almost as if someone at Fox & Friends was working for the opposition: “I know! Let’s say shooting up bleach will cure it!” Sure […]
