This retrospective view of the past year would be funny if it wasn't true. What makes it less funny is that no one really gives a damn. On and on it goes and will continue in 2008. If this is (fair & balanced) diversion from reality. so be it.

Part I

[Cartoonist Dan Perkins (a.k.a. "Tom Tomorrow") has been heckling the powerful every week for the last decade, in outlets as diverse as the Village Voice and TV Guide. With its retro stylings and cast of inane, squeaky-clean optimists, Perkins' cartoon, This Modern World, looks a lot like the '50s. And for Perkins, our modern world does resemble that decade: self-satisfied, conservative, consumerist—in short, crying out for the satirist and his ironic penguin (Sparky) to crack through the chipper veneer.]
