It feels sooooo good to have Ye Olde Blog back on its regular time-frame after yesterday's better-late-than-never entry. That said, Tom/Dan's e-mail message accompanying today's 'toon was a model of brevity:
I'm queueing this up in advance, but if all goes well, I'll be in Italy when you're reading it. Regular additional commentary will return in a few weeks.
Dan (aka Tom)
Tom/Dan enjoys la dolce vita while we are on the other side of the pond with an overflowing sewer in DC. The best of today's 'toon is the third panel which portrays Sarah Huckleberry Goebbels in all her glory. If this is (fair & balanced) damnation by faint praise, so be it.
