I'm Back

I was on vacation this week so I prepared some posts in advance and scheduled them to appear, except that my plan to prepare the Thursday and Friday cartoons while away didn't work out because the cartoons are stored in my home computer and I couldn't access them, so below are the cartoons you would have gotten, plus one replacing the Saturday film you should be getting today, but aren't.

Writing Exercise

Step 1. Submit one or more one-sentence hooks. Sentences that will grab the reader and make her read on. Get them in by 10 AM eastern Friday.
