Free Range by Bill Whitehead for January 13, 2021

Just check the comments for "pun"ch lines.

He probably says that to all the incoming cartoonists.

For a cartoonist I would have thought the entrance gate would be a little farther south.

I bet it happens to novelists, too.

The New Yorker cartoonists will have a lot of explaining to do.

It’s about this cartoonist who dies and gets to the pearly gates only to discover that Saint Peter has no sense of humour.

He knows when you’ve been bad or good…oh wait that’s a different guy.

He’s making a list and checking it twice…oops same guy!

Looks like a standard desert island one-panel…

Must be Kenny Peterson lol

Funny! Lol!

A guy, a palm tree, and a desert island.

Dylan’s gonna have a lot of explaining (of lyrics) to do.

It’s the Plaid Shirt of DEATH!!!

The best cartoons are funny at face value but have hidden references that are only gotten by the most observant people with enough accumulated knowledge to see it for what it is.

I don’t get it.

Yes! It’s nice to see I’m not the only one who doesn’t get some of these darned comic strips. It’s probably much more common than I think, but because it makes me feel like an idiot I don’t discuss it very often. Usually, I just come check out the comments!

As a former fisherman, Peter might have extra interest in cartoons set by the water.

Wouldn’t that be cartoonist hell?

Okay, now…What’s your favorite color?

Well St. Pete, comics probably just aren’t your thing.

Bill Griffith will be there for a very long time.

Maybe it was a pro Trump cartoon.
