Location! Location! Location?
Something about this Sunday’s WuMo comic also struck me as funnier than usual. As a one-panel strip, it has to load everything into one scene. This strip does that quite well. Or maybe it’s just because the juxtaposition of things, … Continue reading

Studying Styles
So the who idea of “learning styles” has mostly been debunked (at least if you talk to certain people). But this week’s FoxTrot by Bill Amend floats the idea of “studying styles,” which is a lot more possible because I … Continue reading

Stories Left to Tell
Tonight brought the premiere of Superman & Lois, the latest attempt at bringing the story of Superman to the small screen. The character has been floating around on the CW for a few years now as a special guest. Last … Continue reading
“Save a Copy”
I mentioned yesterday that it was a great day in the Sunday funny pages. Here’s yesterday’s Frazz by Jef Mallett. It’s a bit wordy and does a lot of verbal work, but it gets at something that is an interesting … Continue reading

Sunday’s Best: Disagreeing to Disagree
Today’s Nancy strip seeks to capture something about Our Current Moment, particularly in the recent reality of not knowing what to do with those we disagree with. It’s a bit over-simplified, I’m sure. But it’s still an important thing to … Continue reading
Calvin and the Two-Ton Chickadee
