Large and Small
[Read the article: WayLay]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This strip reminds me very much of the short film "Powers of Ten" by Charles and Ray Eames.

Hug a Terrorist
[Read the article: This Modern World]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Almost as funny As those dimwits who believe all terrorism is because of poverty and not enough hugs.--Anonymous

So Tired...
[Read the article: This Modern World]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]One must almost feel sorry for the indefatigable Joseph Lieberman as Fox's favorite Democrat. So tired...
Tom does a good job this week of capturing the Fox crew; my favorite is his rendition of the doughy-faced Gibson.
To ShootJumbo: Tom was undoubtedly using the words "Democrat Convention" because that is almost inevitably the verbal construction you get on Fox (and, not coincidentally, out of the GOP).

Green-Purple
[Read the article: The K Chronicles]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This trope has always annoyed me as well. I absolutely loved Keith's conspiratorially whispering about how "I know this ain't PC, but..." (the typical boilerplate that frequently precedes a bigoted remark). Keith manages to skewer both bigotry and pro forma anti-racism with one swoop. Nicely done.

[Read the article: Tom the Dancing Bug]

I'm not sure if I applaud the act (if true)...
[Read the article: The K Chronicles]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]... but it made for a satisfying cartoon. I'll stash Keith's action under things I'd like to do but never will.
For whatever reason, getting behind the wheel of a car does seem to turn many otherwise sane, decent people into impatient jerks. I got a secondary chuckle out of this cartoon because it reminded me of the last minute of the movie Election.
