Along with today's 'toon, the e-mail contained the following message from Tom/Dan:
Hey all,
It’s been a hectic couple of weeks for me — that little hiccup in my life that I’ve mentioned a time or two is in the final stretch toward an amicable conclusion, and that took up some time and energy, Oh and also, the world is burning down and the Republicans just managed to put a very angry accused assaulter and obvious ideologue on the Supreme Court. Never a dull moment, that’s for sure. In lieu of further commentary about this extremely depressing week in the news, here’s today's TMW.
Best,
Tom/Dan
And there is little more to add. If this is another (fair & balanced) dose of Weltschmerz, so be it.
