Today's Tom Tomorrow arrived in yesterday's e-mail sans any message from Tom/Dan. Immediately, this blogger thought, "Uh Oh, Tom/Dan reported a trip to see his father who had developed an unspecified health problem a few weeks ago." If this was the reason for the lack of comments, our thoughts might/should go to Tom/Dan and his family. In the meantime — Spoiler Alert — the worst depiction of our national nightmare is resolved in the final panel with the 'toon's mad scientist, Dr. Wilbur von Philbert. If this is a (fair & balanced) hopeful note, so be it.
