Ahhhhhhhhh! Islas Malvinas!

And the world, to this day, turns foolishly on.

And what happens if 70+ million vote for a dingbat? Just asking for a friend.

For years I’ve remembered something about the penguins falling over as Opus describes. I’m sure that if it is true someone has pictures of ithappening, but we’ll never see them.

I remember once wanting to watch a TV show. My brother was watching something, and I told him that I wanted to watch the other show. I actually said, “EVERYONE will be watching it!” and he actually answered, “If ‘everyone’ jumped off a building, would you?” That was my lesson in non-conformity, and I’ve gone with that ever since. (Side note: the show that “everyone” was to be watching was cancelled soon after.)

I feel like I am Opus.

we saw the results of 70M people doing a very foolish thing….fortunately more of us countered that happening again

Poor Opus is much like Cassandra

This is a truly classic, dare I say “iconic”, strip.

If a video of such an occurrence existed, it would have a billion views on YouTube

Yes, it’s true: beautiful parable, Opus. But, along with Portnoy in sentiment, so what? Penguins are rather foolish….
