Arlo & Janis set the mood for this morning’s nearly entirely non-political posting. I’m giving myself some practical gifts this year, like new tires, and one of them was even a holiday surprise, because I didn’t expect my computer to start falling apart.But I’m with Arlo, and I think it’s Scroogey to balance your budget by […]
Today’s Duplex brings back some memories.This is a good example of “kidding on the square,” though, while parasitic credit card companies don’t waste their mailers on people who have a grip on their personal budgets, I doubt they actually target people who pay late.But I’m quite sure they share the news of who signs up […]
Mr. Boffo stopped me in my tracks this morning.At first, I thought it meant his parents had somehow switched him to something G-rated, but then it hit me and knocked me over.Joe Martin is not often this heavy, but he sure kicked out the jams today.I’m not sure when the Andy Griffith Show lost focus, […]

I’m kind of stumbling downstairs into the detritus from last night’s party and trying to recollect what happened and put off cleaning up the mess.There’ve been a lot of cartoons about fireworks lately, but I like today’s Frazz best, though I’m applying it to dogs rather than to people.For some reason, this was the Year […]
I’m gonna hold off on a full Trumpcare rant for a bit while the cartoonists catch up, but Michael deAdder nailed it for me.My cancer treatment was covered by Medicare, but the casual relationship with my primary care physician was built earlier, under the Affordable Care Act.That is, the testing was touched off by a transitory […]
