'Tain't Funny, Dumbos

Welcome to this blog's funny paper section, girls and boys. Today, Tom Tomorrow mocks the DumboTeabagger denial of reality as the loons cannot even say Climate.Change, let alone human culpability in the disaster that awaits. A faithful reader Up North sent along a link to a video clip about recent glacial activity in western Greenland thanks to climate change and global warming.

In the last panel of today's 'toon, the best that a pair of corpulent Dumbos can offer is a mocking comment about former VPOTUS Al Gore's weight gain. Ha.Ha. If this is (fair & balanced) stupidity, so be it.
