    With his clashing orange hair and red apron, Lord Zonk’s McFriendly’s outfit’s gonna make him stand out too.

    Whatta pair! (Just like in their trip together to Brit Land to see the duke and duchess of Cambridge tie the knot.)

    If the world ends first in Japan, I’ll be sure to let everyone know before the lights go out (or we dissolve in a puff of dust or whatever happens). That way you’ll have time to put on your pink outfits.

    If there aren’t any zombies, why did the CDC have a Zombie alert test and also Homeland security. Do they know something we don’t?

    “Oh-oh, Sam’s got adult eyes now, too. Who’s gonna be the token kidlet in this strip from here on out? Toggle!”

    Great idea! But there are probs with Toggle as the token kidlet: • He’s already got adult eyes, • one of them covered with an eye patch due to an eye lost as • a battle-hardened veteran in W.Bush’s Iraq war. He’s • married to the hard-to-crack nut Alex and thus a • potential soon-to-be-parent. Lessee now, that’s already 5 bullets again’ him as “kidlet”. Hows aboust we wait till Alex and Tog have their OWN kidlet, and we can then recommend to GBT to assign him, Tog Jr. (?), to that estimable role?

    Does’t EVERYBODY know that ‘zombies’ are a satirical view of today’s kids? need brains, shuffling around unable to make eye contact or do anything useful…their ears plugged against human contact by earbuds…really, take a look around.

    Recently I commented to my wife that the sun was going to burn itself out in 10 billion years ending all life on our planet. She was horrified and replied with a look of terror, “what did you say?” I repeated it and she sighed a breath of relief. Oh, thank goodness, I thought you said 10 million years.

    Going back to "montessoriteacher’s comment yesterday, " As to the reference to astrology, I never said I believed it, it was merely an observation. Take it easy, dook. You said that JC’s birthday is December 25 and I was pointing out the fact that many scholars say otherwise…." I need to point out that I never said that "JC’s birthday is December 25. I wrote, " Unless I am mistaken, Judaism is still waiting for the Messiah; to Christians, he has already come and we celebrate his birth in a week (and, in case I am misunderstood, it’s not the bearded guy in the Coca Cola suit)." Montessoriteacher made the incorrect inference and I am “taking it easy.”

    Had the Spanish, in their religious fervor, not destroyed the books of the Maya, perhaps we would have a more precise understanding of their remarkable culture and complicated astrological formulations.Nothing like obliterating a culture in the name of religion !

    I wonder if there will be a perceptible difference in the number of payments on credit card balances before and after this Friday. I know that there is the demand on water spikes during half time in football broadcasts when a lot of viewers head for the “water closet.”

    “A report that says grave mistakes were made in BENGHAZI. Oddly, though, no one made made them.”

    Sorta like W.Bush’s “Mistakes were made”?

    “Why put on clean underwear if you are just going to get them dirty again?”

    Some believe you have to pass through St. Peter’s pearly gate before you can enter heaven. Maybe it’s his job to inspect before he lets you in. Like going through an airport security checkpoint.

    Remember The Underwear Bomber!

    “… in the Benghazi affair … there is nobody to be blamed. Case closed.”

    Not quite, GullibleCal. The perpetrators remain to be identified (as far as the public knows), hunted down, and executed. Even if by extra-judicial means. Like bin Laden.

    Beyond that, three senior officials in State had to resign (Eric Boswell, Charlene Lamb, and an unnamed third). The report’s independent panel made 29 recommendations. Secretary of State Clinton accepted all 29. The report also “sharply criticized the State Department for relying on untested local militias to safeguard the compound.” (This from AP.)

    There’s more which you can look up for yourself. If you’re interested. Are you? Evidently, so far, you’ve been relying on us DOONESBURY COMMENTATORS for all your info!

    Whatta pit.

    “… Barack Obama … went with that goofy “inflammatory video” cover story ….”

    He didn’t, GullibleCal. I just finished reading the transcript of his Rose Garden address to America the day after the Benghazi terrorist attack. There is nothing in it about the video.

    GullibleCal,

    I have to take back part of my statement about where you’re getting your info. Oops, strike that. I mean, mis-info. Evidently, you’re not getting it from us Doonesbury commentators like I thought.

    Evidently, you’re getting it from Faux News and other rightwing “talking points”. Much less reliable than Doonesbury commentators.
