Hey All,
I was talking to a friend who made an offhand remark about the country going over a cliff right now and I suddenly remembered that I had a recurrent cartoon featuring just that scenario. The last time I used this riff was at the start of 2016, so I figured it was time to revisit it.
Until next time,
Tom/Dan
So, we're going over a metaphorical cliff in a limousine that represents the USA and the limo-driver is a follower of The *ILK (*Impeached But Not Removed) Lyin' KIng. And the passenger in the back seat of the limo? It's US. If this is a (fair & balanced) metaphor for maladministration, so be it.
PS: It's good to be back & discover that a return to blogging is akin to riding a bicycle after a bike-riding hiatus. Everything is as good as it can be in the time of a pandemic (or multiple pandemics).
