Blondie divorced his wife and has started a relationship with the mailman. He's running as he's still living with his ex-wife while she finds another place, but it's really, really awkward when all three of them are in the same place together. Originally this was a 32 panel strip but unfortunately it was cut down to the usually three in editing. The cartoonist said he's hoping to get the original directors cut of it published next year.

The "E-ew" is a moan of passion.

Why do I get the feeling that Zebo is going to dis Luann�s dress? Not artsy-fartsy enough for him, I�m thinking.

To note, as of this point I don't think Zebo has actually really done anything except tell everyone they are great regardless of what they do.

Looks like Emo kid is wearing a skin-colored Borat-style outfit, so he�s not really naked. But even if he were � we�ve seen it all before kid. Seems kind of hard to be non-conformist these days when the Internet pretty much shows everyone the gamut of possibilities (including a lot that you don�t want to see). And being Emo, by definition, means you�re conforming with that particular genre/look.
Up against the competition, here, I�d say that Luann�s dress � while being a perfectly fine bridesmaid dress and a creation that she can be proud of � is still probably the most pedestrian, ordinary, boring entry of the lot from the perspective of it being some sort of unique artistic statement. Oh well. I do like her pose and her confident smile while wearing it.

Man�Is that supposed to be a rip on Trump with the dog and the wig and tie? There is no escape from this crazy campaign it seems. Well, Trump has his problems but he is WAY better than Hillary. You can�t have a corrupt liar as President..Obstruction of Justice is illegal regardless if the Obama justice department is corrupt and not enforcing laws. I cant wait till the election is over.

@Bruno Zeigerts
Small town in Texas.(Where else?) Deaf man, mentally retarded, was overcome by the heat. He was carrying in his hand a small pocketknife. Some store employees got him inside and gave him water. Meanwhile someone had called the cops. Cop shows up. Heros into the store, screaming � Get on the ground.� Employees trying to tell cop guy is unresponsive. Cop spots small pocket knife, which hasn�t been an issue up to now. Deaf guy just looks at cop. Doesn�t hear cop. Cop shoots him. Dead. Internal investigation reveals that weakened deaf mute �lunges� at cop. Cop fears for his life, so shooting was justified. Wonder if deaf guy just was falling down?

Well, it'd be the other way around. Hillary's foreign policy calls for more meddling in the middle east, which leads to ISIS getting more recruits.
So, it' be safer now, with less safe in the future.

How bad of an artist do you have to be to gently caress up a Trump caricature? The man is already a walking cartoon.

But that Working Daze Trump looks like Strong Mad from Homestar Runner with a fright wig.

From what I remember she bought the dress to go on dates. She hasn't been on a date in forever so this party is an excuse to wear the dress.

It's kind of amazing that the Phantom can accurately interpret that as "Our son got to the monastery safely, but was briefly detained at gunpoint before arriving" and not immediately read it as a prelude to a ransom demand.
