WHEN NOTHING MEANS ANYTHING

BIZARRO AND THE MOVIES
This is one of those cartoons you see that makes you laugh and you save it because it was funny. Then, you look at it again a month or two later and it’s still funny and you find yourself laughing… Read More ›

SKETCHBOOK 66 – A FINCH AND A SQUIRREL WALK INTO A BAR
I did a couple of things last night. I’ve been using small paper so I can start and finish drawings quickly. Small drawings are also easier on my hand and arm and I’m not using up quite so much material… Read More ›
BARNEY GOOGLE WITH THE GOO-GOO-GOOGLY EYES

DON’T YOU HATE WHEN THIS HAPPENS?

NEED A LAUGH?
I found this on Twitter. It’s funny. It’s relevant. But mostly, it made us laugh. Days that begin with laughter are always better than the other kind. You know. The days that start with tears and a migraine — and… Read More ›
ONE-LINER WEDNESDAY – ARE YOU OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER?
ONE-LINER WEDNESDAY: DO YOU REMEMBER? Are you old enough to remember needing to find a piece of flint to start a fire after using stone tools to kill a woolly mammoth? I’m reasonably sure I never killed a woolly mammoth…. Read More ›
LIKE SAND THROUGH AN HOUR-GLASS

SEND IN THE CLOWNS REDUX – Garry Armstrong
From May 14, 2017: A little piece from Garry that rings as true now as it did four years ago on this same day. “Send In The Clowns”, on its own merit, is a beautiful song from the show, “A… Read More ›
WE ALL NEED AN OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE BETTER
Despite all logic and reason to the contrary, Trump still continues to hunker down in the White House. Does he really believe he can stage a coup and become King of America? Does anyone genuinely believe that? I’m sure there… Read More ›
IS THERE ANY NEWS WITHOUT THE ORANGE MENACE?
Over the past four years, we’ve become addicted to the Orange Menace. Whether you hated or loved him, he was our national — international — soap opera. No longer did we need to wait for an event or calamity to… Read More ›
A DAILY BIT OF HUMOR OF BIZARRO

SOCIALISM ISN’T COMMUNISM — AND WHERE DID OUR SOCIAL SECURITY MONEY GO?
Americans think “Socialists” must be the same as “Communists.” Having lived most of my life in the U.S. (born here, raised here, schooled here as were both of my parents), but also having lived for almost a decade in good… Read More ›
