Tom Tomorrow Summarizes Another Week In -Hell- Er, The United States Of America In 6 'Toon Panels

With today's e-mail, Tom/Dan included a post-vacation message:

Aaand we’re back from vacation. I just had a fabulous ten days out of the country with my son, very little of which time was spent thinking about the news at all. We got back on Wednesday, and wow, what a news cycle to charge back into after some downtime. I spent most of Thursday jetlagged and trying to catch up on everything, and didn’t even get started writing until Friday. (The original plan was to file another backup or rerun and get back to work for real next week, but that got scrapped as soon as I started looking at the news.)

Dan/Tom

Welcome back, Tom/Dan to the magical world of August 2018. The only good thing about the past week is that death of John McCain took over the newscycle and there was nary a soundbite from the current occupant of the Oval Office. Good riddance to bad rubbish. If this is (fair & balanced) Weltschmerz, so be it.
