Steve Benson for January 03, 2022

God Bless you Miss White. Rest in peace.

She almost made it to 100. May she rest in peace.

She was 99.95 years old.

I’m 75 and average only 5 hours sleep, what’s with that . ./S

What if you’re a Qbublican?

She will be missed.

So that’s my problem!

 Public Service Announcement for Those Who Have Not Yet Made a New Year’s Resolution

Here’s the thinking behind trollish comments. The troll can dash off a quick one-liner — never more than a dozen words, half of them insults — post it in several dozen places, then sit back and watch sane people waste their time composing well-reasoned paragraphs in response. Then the troll might throw another occasional 1-liner into the conversation to spark another spate of time-wasting restatements of obvious facts, cogent logic, and sensible reasoning, with the bonus that some of those will actually quote the troll’s own words, thereby giving them yet another public exposure. The real bonus comes when the trollish comment gets so many responses that it gets promoted to that strip’s “featured comment” of the day, where it’ll be the ONLY one that 98% of the visitors to the strip will ever see.

In the coming year, please resolve not to feed the trolls.

Lovely woman.

Some folks would need about 18 hours a day by that reasoning…

I remember when Betty White finally consented to marry Allen Ludden after years of his pursuing her. I can only hope they’re together again. She enriched this world by her presence, and her absence will be sorely felt. Thanks, Ms. White.

She is going to be greatly missed.

She was one of my very favorite celebrities of all time. My favorite Betty White character was Sue Ann Nivens. So funny.

No wonder I need ten!!!

A good tribute. RIP Betty White. You enriched our lives. You are missed.

A number of celebrities crossed the Rainbow Bridge at age 99: Al Hirschfeld, Mitch Miller, Lillian Gish…and Betty White.

What does it say about me if I get 10?

Hmmmm, I guess I need 23 hours.

My best girl at St. Olaf’s!

A sassy woman with a style all her own. They don’t make them like this anymore.

Was that something that Sue Anne Nivens said?

RIP Betty White — Nicely done Steve ♥♥

I was really hoping she would stick with us long enough for LEGO to raise the age limits of their products…
