Near the end of his Italian sojourn, Tom/Dan wrote in the e-mail containing this week's TMW 'toon:
I'm queueing this up in advance, but if all goes well, I'll be landing at JFK right about when you're opening this email. Regular additional commentary will return next week!.
Dan (aka Tom)
In today's 'toon, Sparky the Wonder Penguin (wearing his trademark Inuit-style goggles to ward off bull$hit-blindness) engages in colloquy with a MSM forgettable interlocutor about the spiritual and physical costs of living in our drear days. If this is the (fair & balanced) endorsement of Larry Merchant's epithet ("Life is a sandwich de merde, and every day you take another bite.”), so be it.
