Wow, your articles are giving your cartoons a run for their money on the laugh-o-meter!

We all hope they go Chapter 11 when the Jurassic Park final features how the Monsters like the Stag-o-Sauces are corralled at Martian Largo but it is discovered the Washington Post owner forgot to lock the gate! Anyway an Orangesaurus escapes on his yacht which fairly sunk as it was chock full of gold crypto coins which were really just lead tokens! Stay tune!!

Funny and depressing.

Where's Gamera when you need him? Blast that stupid paper out of existence.

The line that gave me pause, "democracy is flat-lining," speaks to my worst fears. Bezos will be forever known as a major contributor to a democracy that is no longer "dying in darkness" but, rather, in broad daylight.

Your corrections were a delightful read.

CORRECTION: The POST recently reported on the cancellation of several shows at the Kennedy Center. Despite the litany of misinformation being spread in the press, the only shows that have been cancelled at the Kennedy Center have been cancelled due to lack of ticket sales. As in no ticket sales. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Hamilton? An evening with Issa Rae? Nope. Not a single taker. And everyone is saying they are thrilled with the new and improved programming.

Note: I'm not really making this one up:

“In the spirit of transparency and due to the litany of misinformation being spread in the press, it is important to give the public a complete account of program cancellations over the last 6 months,” (Kennedy Center spokesperson Roma) Daravi said. “In fact, the only shows under the Kennedy Center programming umbrella that we have canceled since Feb. 12 were due to lack of sales or artist availability.”

Brilliant! I stopped subscribing after the Kamala Harris (non)endorsement and haven't missed it at all.

"Monster truck fest "…sadly I can see it coming.

And our "precious bodily fluids "…I can hear General Ripper talking to Mandrake now!

Well, they're going to have to do something with $400 million worth of cybertrucks.

Oooo! You be BAD!!!

I’m going to have to remember to take copious notes when I read your columns! There were too many points in these corrections - in EACH correction, pardon me - that are worthy of mention! Of course, laughing through my tears and that dang stitch in my side would have made note taking pretty difficult, anyway. Some of those corrections were doozies! And accurate! Right?

Ah, Jack, keep ‘em coming. You are on a tear, I mean roll!

(Ha! Tear. That reminds me of a Muppet gag. One of the characters was running back and forth and back and forth. One of the others ambled up and asked the runner what was he doing!? Panting hard, he gasped, “The envelope says ‘Please tear here.’”

On a completely different note: My husband and I on a whim made separate lists of homophones and homonyms. We had over 360 discrete entries of homophones: wail, whale, etc. It’s amazing what we came up with for entertainment during Quarantine!)
