Candorville: Sir, I've noticed you've replaced our political columnists with Mark Twain articles from the year 1900.

I think the point of this comic is supposed to be that replacing people like George Will and Maureen Dowd with old Mark Twain articles in newspapers would be a bad thing, akin to rerunning old comic strips when newspapers could be running new comic strips, like Candorville.

But the analogy completely falls apart when you consider that replacing people like George Will and Maureen Dowd with old Mark Twain articles would actually almost certainly be a good thing.

But then, I'm not terribly offended by Peanuts reruns, either.
