Mark Trail: I don't think they ever plan to let us go, Sassy.

And Rusty continues to deserve to die.

Pearls Before Swine: Now death...that's real.

The thing about this cartoon is that I'm just not sure it's dark enough.

Pluggers: A plugger's icemaker comes in either plastic or aluminum.

This cartoon is hilarious because pluggers are too poor to afford refrigerators with icemakers.

And what's with all the comics about refrigerators, today?

Family Circus: There's no more room on our 'frigerator.

This cartoon is hilarious because the refrigerator is already completely covered in Dolly's crappy artwork. And also because she called the refrigerator a 'frigerator.

Speed Bump: It appears to be some sort of joke.

Either that or it's some kind of right-wing propaganda about how the president was actually born in an African country and worships false gods.

Barney Google and Snuffy Smith: Who is this Pete guy, anyway?

Me, I'm wondering who this Barney Google guy is.

Mark Trail: Rusty should have been home by now!

Judging by their clothing, Larry and Moe are obviously time bandits from the seventies.

Meanwhile, Rusty still deserves to die.

Family Circus: Mommy! Is it lunch time?

This cartoon is hilarious because Jeffy is hungry.

UPDATE: People inform me that this cartoon is actually hilarious because Dolly says that Jeffy's tummy is gargling when it is in fact gurgling.

Personally, I don't consider saying that a stomach is gargling to be that much of a bastardization, but Google suggests that I'm outvoted. I, like Dolly, am shamed.

Pogo: We have met the enemy and he is us.

In the interest of providing a genuinely good Earth Day comic for the readers of this fine blog, here's what is probably the most famous installment of Pogo ever committed to ink.







Those images, by the way, come from Jaime Weinman's TV Guidance, and this post includes another Pogo, as well as some commentary, well worth your time.

Agnes: France is in Europe...Please write that down.

I think I speak for everyone at the National Review when I say that Agnes is to be commended for standing up to the leftist instructor trying to indoctrinate her with propaganda about the socialist Hell that is France.
