A Softer World: Pride and Prejudice and kittens.

Yeah, I'll still take Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, thanks. Though I do love kittens. Just not to read about. Maybe if there were pictures...

xkcd: Together

My favorite thing about this cartoon is the way Randall Munroe denotes old age by drawing his stick figures with wiggly lines.

Also, I really like how the comic comments on humanity's reductive tendencies.

Mark Trail: This kid has fouled up our plans!

I wonder if we're supposed to read "fouled up" as a euphemism here. On the one hand, no one ever actually says "fouled up" unless they're on basic cable and having all their profanities dubbed over. On the other hand, nobody talks like a real human being in Mark Trail anyway.

UPDATE: Here are two tangentially related links about dubbing profanities that make me smile.

Family Circus: Know why she's called "Grandma"?

This cartoon is hilarious because Billy misunderstands the etymology of the word "Grandma."

A Softer World: We love you, you ignorant prick.

People are, like, complex and stuff.

Family Circus: To remember something, you pull your eyes inside your head and look 'round till you find it.

This cartoon is hilarious because that is not, in fact, how you remember something.

Pearls Before Swine: If you'll excuse me, I need to kick my Business Development Manager in the oompa loompas.

Stephan Pastis has some sizable oompa loompas.

Family Circus: Goody! I was hopin' to get a new puppy!

This cartoon is hilarious because Jeffy has misunderstood his father's cliched idiom and thinks that actual cats and dogs are falling from the sky. Why he believes a puppy could survive such a fall remains a mystery.

Family Circus: There are no such things as monsters.

I don't want to make too much fun of this Family Circus, because it's actually pretty decent, as far as these things go. But I do want to point out the absurdity of lumping taxation in with all the other demons in the final panel, especially considering that properly employed taxation can be incredibly useful in fighting them off here in the real world.

Blondie: It's just Mr. B. pitching in to keep the planet environmentally friendly.

The moral of this cartoon is that you shouldn't try to help protect the environment because you'll probably just get stung by lots of bees.
