Today’s headline is an old joke; the answer is in Ann Telnaes‘ cartoon.The stork ought to still scare them, because, as Telnaes points out, we’re heading back to the pre-Roe days when a pregnant woman’s choice was between giving birth or possible death, and I say that as someone old enough to have been a […]

I just didn’t know what would turn up on today’s menu to be commented upon.But Joe Heller’s take on climate change and science deniers is kind of funny, except, y’know, for the part where the fool votes. But […]
Hats off to Terri Libenson for a fresh take on what is generally one of the lamest days of the year on the comics page.Granted, she’s riffing on the now-iconic movie rather than the over-promoted tradition itself, but I’m also giving her credit for an overall breakthrough: The new wrinkle for the “over-worked mom” theme […]
