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.

New York state Supreme Court Judge Milton Tingling declared invalid Mr. Bloomberg’s plan to prohibit restaurants, mobile food carts, delis and concessions at movie theaters, stadiums or arenas from selling sugary drinks in cups or containers larger than 16 ounces. The ban was set to begin Tuesday.
Judge Tingling determined that Mr. Bloomberg exceeded his authority by sidestepping the City Council and placing the issue before the city’s Board of Health, a panel whose members were each appointed by the mayor.

There is currently afoot a push by lobbyists to get aspartame categorized as not requiring labeling in milk on the premise that it is healthier than sugar and is best not labeled because of that. I am not making this up!

On my 1st trip to the US I was taken to a McD’s by my American hosts. I was struck by how large the cup sizes were. Then I was told that the refills were free. What was the point of having large sized cups? Fewer refill trips? [yeah, yeah, I suppose some folks don’t want to hang about in a fast-food joint and want to carry away as much free coke as their little legs can carry them].

What? Surely you mean flavored milk and not the plain white stuff.

Yes, never mind that stuff makes some people sick. Not on the label makes it very hard to avoid it when one needs to.

Sodas are not a major dietary component.

Probably half the NYC Council members are also Obesity Clubbers…
I applaud what the Mayor is doing….by libertarian standards – the wrong thing…Man has the freedom to be obese, does he not ??
NOT if I have to pay for it (indirectly)..

Very, very true.
And I only have the diabetes 2, no insulin…the fatties should go thru this !
We as a nation, consume far too much sugar..its not necessary and should be taxed.
