It's been a while since I've visited here. I didn't care much for the first Raine Dog comic, and recently, for some reason, I read the whole thing. That was a mistake. Then there was this strip, which was painful to read. The author is clearly ignorant about how insurance works. It's a topic I'm hap...

Yeah, GM is pretty much screwed. The American work force is best used in producing these luxury vehicles, with lower margin vehicles produced offshore. So when sales of the big vehicles fall, it hurts the U.S. workers. Then there's that stupid regulation that forces GM to produce some of the smaller...

If only the strip were in color, we'd know just how much of Ozy's fur was shaved off.

Looking forward to seeing him after the makeover is complete.

I guess I'll be the one to admit to be voting for McCain. (Yes, despite my politics and D.C. Simpson being a hyperpartisan, this is a great comic strip.) Obama's math doesn't add up. I'm not talking about 57 states, but rather the tax cut for 95% of Americans, funded by tax increases on the top 5%. ...

Millie is clearly plotting how she can get her paws on some of her own fireworks.

You know, I thought Garfield was an amusing strip when I read it as a child, in the 80's. Either the strip has gotten a lot worse, or the strip was never meant to appeal to adult tastes.

Either O&M art style is fine for me; it's the humor that really attracts me to the strip.

Am I the only one to notice that Ms. Mudd answers "maybe" to "Will we all live together?"

Very strange. Wonder what it means, if anything.

Obviously, they're going to sell the kids to the circus.

Hanii Puppy: Do you mean Honey from Ouran High School Host club, or some other character? (I presume so since the food 'honey' is 'hachimitsu' in Japanese.) Hanii is the romanization of the katakana (ハニー) used to approximate the sound of the English word honey. (See, for example, the anime Cutey Ho...

has D.C. always shown their teeth while they're talking?

Not always, but for many years in close-ups. Fans differed on whether the fangs made the characters look better or worse. I say better.

I've always liked the fangs; they're cute.

There, that wasn't hard, was it?

Agreed that swimming trunks filled with air are annoying, but hey, you're in the pool or lake. It's hard to feel bad when you're swimming! Unless the tail hole is elastic like the waistband, I wouldn't think the trunks would fill as much with air. There would be an easy way for the trapped air to es...

I'm also an Isolde fan.

But what's with those REM pictures? Those three men look... human! Or did Isolde steal that T-shirt from an alternate universe?

I like the April 1st art style, except for the apparent lack of thumbs.
