Every time I see that POS picture, I see a mashup of POS and Lindsey - 2 cowardly liars.

Wow, a treasure-trove week! I think the Kennedy on is the best-it so clearly defines the difference between heroes and leaders on heroine! He IS the most dangerous but the danger is diluted by his inability to lie well at all-he probably says it was a bear rug, not a bear! And so the obvious choice for Trump's twit race (see Monty Python:)

The first thing I remember is JFK’s death, and I actually went to RFK’s burial at Arlington. This punk is a travesty.

I was in grade 6 and they announced the assassination over the loudspeaker at in the late morning and that school would end at noon! And when I got home my mom was sobbing away! Yes, a punk is aptly described!!

I guess we should be glad that Signalgate was not Grindergate💩

Another noteworthy week of cartooning!

Glad to add "obscurantist" to my vocab--can barely say it, let alone spell it!

Loved your response to the Signal gate fiasco! Pete had everything in there with him, except for a cold one! (Oh, that's right--I forgot, he's sober now!)

As for "Ship Happens," I was cracking up before I even looked any further.

Though I admit Trump's portrait was unflattering, his vanity completely overshadowed anything about it. Thanks for making him look utterly ridiculous! The bill to put him on Mt. Rushmore is as laughable as your drawing of him. (He'd probably insist we change the name or insist that he shouldn't be pictured last.)

Can barely look at RFK, Jr. anymore (and neither can his family). The children unnecessarily dying from measles is unforgivable. (Cheryl, WTF are you thinking?!)

Great column today, man, I laughed and learned a lot (the whole smelt-fish economy-water thing). Just get your sleep. You’re the best!
