Yes. I just added it to my feedly, so I would assume it would be searchable on other platforms.

“school for the gifted” was the term during Larson’s generation. in my day, it was the somewhat less pompous “academic magnet high school,” which I attended; Nashville’s Hume-Fogg.
a xerox of this cartoon was taped onto the wall of the front office. “Midvale” had been whited out and replaced with “Hume-Fogg,” naturally.

I’m also using the free Feedly, and yeah, it looks like it is just scraping the website and finding the old comics. Dang. I’m sorry, I got hopes up.

Yeah, but those 3 regular chromabomb comics celebrate the 3000th podcast. Just kidding. I’m waiting 'til I get it while Andrews-McMeel get the CPM and permalinks dialed in for object-oriented Cow-Tools as a service; CTaaS.

He is only in his sixties. He was in his twenties when he started The Far Side.

I think the updated version would have the sprinkle lid popping off and the contents just pouring out.
