    Varne, consider this: more people are killed by elephants because elephants are land animals (where people usually are), and sharks are sea creatures (where people usually aren’t). Figure out the number of humans diving in shark-infested waters vice those living in elephant-infested forests, and the relative numbers of deaths… and get back to us.

    We don’t need all these government safety regulations.

    Please back up your allegations regarding ‘Democrats having the most graveyard and illegal alien votes in the country’. You might start with the Bush Justice Department’s 5 year study on voter fraud (and how little they could find).

    Oops—- that’s Harold Camping, not Campbell, on the radio ministry. Living in Portugal, I’m happily out of radio range…

    It is noted that, although certain people have had no trouble seeing this strip, for others, it has been simply blank.

    Those of us who could see the strip are truly sorry that you weren’t raptured with us. Just in case, I wouldn’t buy a lot of winter clothes…*

    Further noted: if my tongue were any further in my cheek, I’d starve to death. And on a serious note regarding the radio preacher’s guesstimate about the end of the world, google ‘Millerites’ (did YOU know the world ended in the 1840s??) for a remarkably similar example— to the point that one of the Millerite’s names was Campbell.

    For those who are Christians and perhaps worried that Harold Campbell might know what he’s talking about, you might google his name— he’e been ending the world for years. For those Christians who look forward to a normal length of life, remember what Jesus said about false prophets*, and that His return would be at the time least expected, rather than most preached on the radio.[*or profits…]

    But still, I wonder what happened to a man who was a successful cartoonist for so many years, and then just disappeared off the map. Do people sneak into restaurants to steal the napkins he doodled on? And what does a retired cartoonist do? Sell insurance? Run for office? Or just disappear?

    Ah, the wonders of denial…
