Ha! He shot down one of his own people thus endangering not only the lives of his fellow men but the Allies as a whole! Ha!

I do not believe I've ever seen a swastika in a comic strip before. I mean, I don't think that's possible, but it's seems so jarring to me here. Maybe it's because there's six of them and not just one on a flag or something. But I am happy about the, at least, six dead Nazis.

Sure, it's a little in poor taste, but it's funny. I'm surprised Harold hasn't done this before. Maybe Clara is a new pig...

"Anticipation and excitement"? Calm down, sir, it's a suggestion box.

And if you are so gung ho about solving the water cooler dilemma (personally, I love water cooler talk) then why don't you figure out a solution?

Mr. Geste is good at his job. Brutus is not so of course he's not going to be treated like a rock star. I mean, Brutus is the star of a nationally syndicated comic strip and I never hear anything about it. It is a stalwart workhorse that never makes news. And it has me commenting on it nearly every day. Can't even get a decent person to make fun of it.

Kewpie when he/she wakes up.

Kewpie isn't even close to a sled dog. Quit making non-sled dogs sled dogs.

"Yeah, I guess you can. Will you also be getting an entrée? You will? Who am I to judge? Money is money."

1171: In the Not-To-Distance Future...We Could All Be Living In a PixarFilm

Yesterday I went on a field trip with the students to the local grocery store and we talked a lot about the different kinds of jobs that make up the store and make up all the food that is in the store. We talked about the person who grows the food and the person who distributes it which made me think about a Mystery Science Theater 3000 short about truck farming from Encylcopedia Brittanica Films' The Truck Farmer.

Worship the Truck Farmer At the Church of Your Choice!!

I am all for conserving the planet because while I am a huge believer in the "Earth has always and will always be here" mentality, I don't believe that it includes humans. Earth was fine before humans and it will be fine after humans.

The main reason I don't want humans to go to other planets and attempt to colonize them is strictly because of Earth conservation. If we have Mars or the Moon or another place as a "backup Earth" then why save this planet? People who have the ability to will be able to leave while the others remain. I don't want our planet to wind up in some kind of Wall-E scenario because that movie was too long and drawn out and would've worked better as an animated short and I don't want that for our home.
