Modesty insists I begin today’s exposé of nitwits with Maria Scrivan’s relevant diagram of how I use reusable bags.I’d do better if I could get them to the car, because both my co-op and my (usual) grocery store have signs at the door reminding you, which is okay if the bags are 50 feet away […]
Zits Baby Blues Off the Mark Rhymes With OrangeI’ve been frustrated lately that political issues seem so compelling and we are at such a flash point that I have not been balancing my coverage of editorial cartoons with the attention that comic strips deserve.So here are four cartoons from this morning’s funny pages.Apparently, I’m not […]
Over at L’il Donnie today, Mike Norton despairs of being able to come up with any satire more ridiculous than reality, and I can’t blame him.
