Perhaps it's a two-sided joke. Non-medical people think "haha, why would you wake him up to give him sleeping pills", medical people think "haha, only a student doctor would ask whether they should give the patient their scheduled medication".

No a medical person would think "they are making this joke, but this is an actual question I have gotten while on call."

This makes me think Mark's pals actually died earlier, maybe over the chasm, they're now figments of his imagination that are agreeing with everything he says and pulling facts out of his own memory, like Chef Gusteau did to Remy in Ratatouille.

I see it a lot in comic strips but I don't think I've ever seen anyone in real life hold a sandwich that way.

Also, I hope DaVinci inspires Dawn to start building siege engines and human-powered flying machines.

When they passed out body parts in the comics today, I got Cathy's nose and Dick Tracy's private parts.
The whole "Leonardo stayed dedicated to his projects until completion" thing isn't true, either. He often got easily distracted, and left behind many unfinished drawings and concepts. There's a reason the Mona Lisa took 10 years to finish.

Jam is made with bits of the fruit in it. So, it's a thicker, chunkier, jelly.

Jam is a bit runnier, jello sets up much firmer. Well store bought jam acts like jello, but I don't classify it as actual jam, more like industrial byproduct.

As a former New Yorker, the idea of riding the subway and *then* taking a cab is utterly silly. There are very few places in Manhattan that aren't within easy walking distance of a subway stop. Unless this hot, hip club is out in Williamsburg, in which case have fun getting a cab after midnight!

You think he would've learned from the last telephone call they shoved at him.

Meanwhile, GoComics blew up this morning, which means you get Pogo to fill that gaping hole where Skippy usually goes. (April 24, 1958)



Today's Peanuts showed up when nothing else did. Total coincidence. (April 24, 1969)



Funky Winkerbean, sadly, is on another website, so it went up on schedule. My deepest condolences.
