I got a chance to see the employee sidewalk chalk art contest entries today at the Walt Disney Studio lot. Glad it didn’t rain last night! These were my favorites.

This is such a tragic story, & as an ER nurse, it terrifies me to no end to read it. The decisions the ER team made seem reasonable, but a young man lost his life. The system is overwhelmed. Continued cuts to healthcare are just going to increase the burden and risk.

Poor Koth gets no love. I’m surprised Theron’s isn’t higher, tbh. I thought the whole player base was thirsty for him.

One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."

A few days after this cartoon was published, my syndicate received a very indignant letter from someone representing the Jane Goodall Institute.
Not only did my syndicate and I both get read the Riot Act, there was a vague implication that litigation over this cartoon might be around the corner.
I was horrified. Not so much from a fear of being sued (I just couldn't see how this cartoon could be construed as anything but silly, but because of my deep respect for Jane Goodall and her well-known contributions to pri-matology. The last thing in the world I would have intentionally done was offend Dr. Goodall in any way.
Before I had a chance to write my apology, another complication arose.
The National Geographic Society contacted my syndicate and expressed a

desire to reprint the cartoon in a special centennial issue of their magazine. My editor, aware of what had just occurred, declined, explaining why.
Apparently, whoever it was that sent the inquiry from National Geographic was shocked. They told my editor that "that doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know." They did some checking themselves, and an interesting fact was eventually discovered: Jane Goodall loved the cartoon. Furthermore, she was totally unaware that any of this "stuff" was going on. Some phone calls were made, and the cartoon was not only reprinted in the centennial issue of National Geographic, but was also used by her Institute on a T-shirt for fund-raising purposes.
I've since had an opportunity to visit Dr. Goodall at her research facility in Gombe. It's a wonderful place (sort of like right out of National Geographic).
"To refer to Dr. Goodall as a tramp is inexcusable even by a self-described 'loony' as Larson. The cartoon was incredibly offensive and in such poor taste that readers might well question the editorial judgment of running such an atrocity in a newspaper that reputes to be supplying news to persons with a better than average intelligence. The cartoon and its message were absolutely stupid." —Excerpt from the above-mentioned letter that started the ruckus

We love you, Jane! Wherever you are now, I know you’re surrounded by love and lots of animals! We were so lucky to share time with you on this earth.

A meme depicting Geordi from Star Trek: The Next Generation. The upper box of the meme shows him with palm outstretched, as if to say no. The text next to this says “Do not comply in advance”; bossy, already a cliché, implies permission to comply later. The upper box of the mean depicts the same character, his visor alight, pointer finger outstretched as if to say yes. The text next to this says “fuck you, make me”; leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner.

We played it through the Baldman Games virtual D&D weekends over the course of a couple of months and it was so much fun.

It is, and I realize that my reply maybe sounded sarcastic but I did not mean it to be. I honestly was being lazy and you're quite right that I did a bad job. I have Alt Text settings on so I can include them but I was at work and rushing to make the joke.

You’re correct and I took a shortcut this time. Thank you for pointing it out.
