[D.D.Degg]

In the modern age of printing
it's been a while since I saw Ben Day Dots prominently displayed.

Conversely John Deering went with a painting.

Loved it! At first I thought it was going to be one of his famous over-
the-top puns, nice to simply see a gag go full circle.

Had to think about it for a bit, but the more I thought about it the
more disturbing it got. Not enough humor in it to redeem the disturbing
aspect.

WashPo dropped LDL during their last purge. I miss that strip!

I thought today's Garfield was notable too.

It's interesting to see direct interaction between Liz and Garfield with
no Jon around. Very different dynamic - if that were Jon there instead
of Liz, you know the strip would have ended with Garfield having eaten
the donut with a snarky remark. Liz at least got Garfield to consider
his actions and refrain from eating the donut. Quite remarkable, really.

Check out Richard Thomposn's comment- I don't think he's used one
yet!

Yes, this one bothered me also. Probably should have had a male in the
backseat or better yet just dumped the strip and used one of Tom
Gammill's cards.

And that link led me to the discover that Tom Gammill does some pretty
funny YouTube videos:

=v= There are a handful of tropes you find in college humor,
including fellas tricking women into hanging out with them.
Some of it is very disturbing, as it is blatantly about getting
women drunk or otherwise wrecked and taking advantage of them.
Some of it is even more disturbing in its misogyny.

=v= This doesn't descend to those levels.
