So no particular criticism of Heller, but a more generalized: “So what?”Ask Google “Why are egg prices so high?” […]
I’ve had enough cartoons about the speakership voting, but I did get a laugh out of RJ Matson’s commentary because he plays around with a kerfuffle over McCarthy having moved into the Speaker’s office before he held the position, and adds a bit of theatrical flair when the sign went up. Matson’s depiction of the […]

That piece for the News, motivated by then-editor Peter Lesniak and inspired […]

I’m not big on year-end wrap-ups, which — as noted before — I learned to hate in the newsroom, when we had to compile them in order to fill the pages in the dead space between Christmas and New Years. I also have little interest in reliving the major events of the year gone past, […]
(Bizarro — KFS)(Loose Parts — AMS) (Rubes — Creators)I’m not sure how all three of these cartoonists seized upon myrrh this year, but it is the most mysterious of the three gifts of the Magi. We’re all familiar with gold and I think a lot of people recognize frankincense as (mostly) a form of incense, while […]
