Tom the Dancing Bug, IN WHICH spunky little Donald and his imaginary publicist John protect America from brown-skinned Congresswomen

That is pretty funny. Unfortunately, it is mostly sad because it is true. Sigh.

“It’s the distracting that matters!”… brilliant

We are living under conditions which have far exceeded the imaginations of satirists.

I am so stealing that for use on other boards.

Oof, that last one just outright walloped me with sudden, visceral relief that Calvin & Hobbes ended before the rise of social media.

The last strip was so, so true. Great job! I suppose.

Unfortunately, it is mostly sad

It’s this weird feeling where I can “see” the humor in Bolling’s strips, but I just don’t find them funny anymore. No amount of satire or ridicule has accomplished anything, so the catharsis just doesn’t work these days. Pissing in the wind.

@LurkingGrue

Me too.

It’s not comedy. It’s a documentary.
