Tom Tomorrow (Dan Perkins) provides a sneak peek at "The Year In Review" with a pael devoted to each of the varieties of "Truth" in 2016: Trump Truth, Cable News Truth, Facebook Truth, Alt-Right Truth, GOP Truth, Rank-And-File Truth, Kremlin Truth, and (Wait For It...) The Awful Truth. In that final panel, Sparky The Wonder Penguin (in a Santa hat) offers a moan: "We are completely and utterly screwed, but Happy Holidays." Bursting into the panel is Il Douche blustering about the "War On Christmas." If this is a (fair & balanced) demonstration of unfitness to hold the highest office in the land, so be it.
