Yesterday, Overheard From A Nearby Restaurant Booth — "I'll Have Russian Dressing With A Side Order Of Collusion"

With the e-mail that brought today's 'toon, Tom/Dan wrote

Hey, all

Another week, another cartoon! Actually I wrote two last week — the first was more of an evergreen, so I’m holding on to it for the moment, and was written with the intention of taking one… single….week… away from Trump, but the news of Cohen’s guilty plea seemed like it needed to be addressed. Although, in the weird era of distorted time in which we live, that already feels like something that happened a month ago.

Meanwhile, contrary to unverified rumors you may have read somewhere, which is to say in this newsletter, the court date ending my marriage did not take place last week, but will — allegedly! hopefully! — be over by the time I send out the next one of these missives. Last week actually ended up being about dealing with lawyers and negotiating final little tweaks in the language of the settlement. Makes it hard to focus on work, but I have learned to multitask lately.

Oh, and also, this happened...


Until next time…

Dan/Tom

Nothing like a promo-tweet from Luke Skywalker. If this is (fair & balanced) nonsense about nothing, so be it.
