Surprises Cathy Commiserating with the people of Minneapolis was an unexpected show of support.

CENTENNIAL, Colo. — Drew Litton, 67, wanted to be two things when he grew up. He yearned to shoot like “Pistol Pete” Maravich and to play the guitar like Eric Clapton. “I instead ended up playing basketball like Eric Clapton and guitar like Pete Maravich,” said Litton, laughing as he sat in his studio chair […]
Scott Hilburn wins the Fortuitous Timing Award, though if he’d run today’s Argyle Sweater (AMS) 24 hours earlier, he might be up for a Pulitzer. Yes, it’s a different form of airline chaos, but given his lead time, I think he did pretty well.Besides, the types of chaos that ensued appear to have been fairly […]
We’ll start with the easy one. Adam Zyglis explains the gist of the matter: Kansas City Chiefs placekicker Harrison Butker spoke at Benedictine College’s commencement and told graduates, among other things, that while women might get jobs, they would find true fulfillment not in the workplace but, like his wife, as homemakers and mothers.Particularly if […]
Jeff Stahler (AMS) taps into something that occurred to me during the game.

And, […]
Kirk Walters comments on the 30th anniversary of the 1987 stock market crash, which, he contends, harshes the buzz created by the Dow going over 23,000.I covered the 1987 crash, but it was only a blip and hardly a warning. A few adjustments to automated trading software and off we went again.The Dow Jones Average […]
Tried to take a break from politics today. Fat chance.I’ve seen a couple of strip cartoonists post remarks about how it’s getting hard to just make funny drawings when everything is on fire, and even this cheesy pun at Bizarro has a political base.The problem is, how do you make jokes about ordinary, day-to-day life […]
We’ll warm up with some cartoons that made me laff because they reminded me of something else, which is to say YMMV, but, on the other hand, much of humor is based on making a specific thing feel universal.Or something.Anyway, Dog Eat Doug takes me back to a point when I had an extremely headstrong […]
(K Chronicles) (Win, Lose, Drew)Our first Juxtaposition of the Day is about the forced resignation of the University of Missouri president, as well as the announced resignation of the chancellor which followed.Another type of juxtaposition would be to compare them with the whining rightwing cartoons that suggest the players should just shut up and hike […]
