The e-mail that brought today's 'toon to the blogger's In Box also contained the following message from Tom/Dan:
Hey all,
Week two of holiday evergreens — this one is a reprint from 2010, originally inspired by the Deepwater Horizon spill.
Here's to a happy New Year's holiday, and a happier new year. Your regularly scheduled timely content will resume next week — at least as timely as it's possible for a weekly cartoon to be, in an era in which the news cycle blasts us in the face like a firehose on an hourly basis and time has no meaning!
Until then,
Dan/Tom
As the worst year this blogger has ever endured, right up to this last day of miserable 2018, if this blog expresses a (fair & balanced) hope for a better 2019, so be it.
