Hi GoComics readers,
Many of you have expressed curiosity and even concern about the comic hiatus for Pat Oliphant's drawings. We wanted to share that Pat is doing well, in good health, but simply on vacation. As soon as when we have an update on the date of his next drawing, we'll share the news here and via social media.
We have wonderful readers. This is an example of the impact that an artist and their work can have on lives and we will continue to value that relationship with you. Thank you.

Called "the most influential cartoonist now working" by The New York Times, Pat Oliphant occupies a unique position among today’s editorial cartoonists: Widely considered the dean of the profession, he is one of its sharpest, most daring practitioners.

? I’ll humbly await an explanation from my more discerning and enlightened Gcomics colleagues.

Until Hagel is confirmed, he still has to do the job. Plenipotentiary is not quite right: having or conferring full power or authority. Close enough for government work!

Its usually reserved for ambassadors, who act in the place of the president/prime minister, etc.

Mr. Panetta is becoming less politic in his comments to legislators. How long before cspan has to start beeping some of his responses to congressional questions?
He’s done well under difficult circumstances, I’m sorry he’s leaving.
Respectfully,
C.

My ex used to say “Oh, Mike, one more thing” after she got me to agree to do to something that I didn’t really want to do. If that’s Leon’s case, he has my sympathy.

Yes, Panetta is trying to quit, had his farewell party two weeks ago, but had to represent the US in Europe last weekend. The GOP is filibustering the new defense secretary. First time ever! A new world record in preventing America to function as a country! They should be so proud.

Hagel is not a good choice and that is why he is being blocked.. Too to Islam, too unfriendly to Israel (USA’a only real ally in the Middle East)

If, by keeping an unqualified and decidedly inappropriate candidate from taking office, there Rod ole boy, then consider us all very proud!

Would you elucidate as to why he is unqualified and inappropriate.

Detective Columbo was the all-time master at the annoying “Oh, just one more thing!” Of course, he had a tactical reason for doing it……..

e thomas said (Panetta) still has to do the job No, he doesn’t. He’s willing to serve his country and his President despite the GOPer intrasigence over garbage nonfacts.

Stop watching only Fox “news” as your data source. They are a noise machine for the GOPers and transmit only what supports their agenda.

Senator Hagel is the BEST choice to run the pPentagon as he is one of the few in the Congress who has been in combat, wounded, and has lost friends to combat. He knows the B.S. that flows down the chain of command to wash over the “Boots on the Ground”. As to the Israeli lobby; it, the NRA, and the Cuban expats in Florida have far to much wag on our dog of a government.
