Start off the non-political parade with a Bliss cartoon which is less humorous on its own than in tandem with the strangest conversation of the week.Charley horses and other cramps are a common side effect of taking statins, so it’s not hard to get a conversation on the topic going if you hang out with […]
I don’t know why the funny comes in bunches, but it seems to be feast or famine around here and, while yesterday was a holiday, today is a feast day. So we’ll start with Agnes to which I have absolutely nothing to add. One ought not to gild the lily. Looking for Love in All the Wrong […]
It’s entirely possible that Dave Blazek was inspired by the same thing that made me laugh at today’s Loose Parts: Those sanitary wipes at the grocery store, which keep you from getting bubonic plague from touching a shopping cart.My solution is that, when the cart wranglers get a train of carts together, they should shove […]
Candorville leads off what could be a very depressing day if I let it.I’m nearly ready to take a break from Facebook, because the place is far more full of feuds than conversations, and I get tired of pissing into the wind.For example, we’re got another social media lynch mob forming over that unjustifiable, boneheaded, […]
Brewster Rockit generally specializes in really, really dumb jokes — the kind I really like. But once in a while, Tim Rickard provides one of these Rockit Science specials.I admire someone with the courage to do a couple of weeks of strips about a planet of talking donuts and then suddenly throw in a Sunday […]
Today’s Loose Parts is delightfully meta.Larson’s 1984 gag played on the fact that the whole notion of opposable thumbs was something we learned in biology class and then didn’t even file away: We just tossed it into the junk drawer of our minds until the moment it became his punchline.And it worked so well for Larson […]
Zits made me laugh, but I quickly realized it’s a bit out of date, since over-controlling mothers these days are not foiled by distance.I’m not sure I accept the helicopter parent horror stories of college administrators — that is, I believe they happen, but I suspect they aren’t so frequent as to be typical.Or, as the […]
Warming up with the whole “saddest words” thing over at Candorville.Lemont is moving to Canada to be with his girlfriend in Vancouver, whose name, as far as we know so far, is simply “Vancouver.” They met on-line and he’s been up there to visit her.Once.I’d love to be a romantic, but, boy oh boy, I’m […]
