This is how group projects work

This comic may have been written with school group projects in mind, but I’ve been in similar situations where paychecks were involved. Most of the time, I was the firefighter…

They don’t design offices like this anymore

The illustration above comes from Volume 3 of Understanding Human Behavior, a 24-volume series of books published in — as you might have guessed — 1974. I love the Lex Luthor / Joker purple-green color scheme in that office!

The cover for Volume 1 was pretty surreal:

Comic of the day: What will replace Obamacare?

The next four years will be terrible for all sorts of people in the U.S., but a gold mine for New Yorker cartoonists. This one was drawn by Emily Flake, who has a darkly amusing new book titled Mama Tried.

Florida of the day: Tampa family attacked by their dog after they tried to put a sweater on it

Perhaps the Guerrero family were setting themselves up for trouble when they named their pit bull mix “Scarface” (but hey, it’s a very Florida name, so why not?), but they sealed the deal when they tried to put a sweater on the dog.

The dog was so upset with being made to wear a sweater that it took a lot to subdue it. In fact, it took so much that you could sing the list of measures to the tune of 12 Days of Christmas, starting with “5 gold rings”:

  • A stabbing in the head and neck,
  • a beanbag gun,
  • a taser,
  • a catch pole,
  • …and a cartridge in a trank gun!

With the exception of a couple of relatively chilly days, it’s been a warmer-than-usual December here in Tampa. The last thing a dog here needs is a sweater.

Many people believe a lot of falsehoods about pit bull terriers, so it’s worth reading this article: Pit bulls — the myths, the legends, the reality.
