   Definitely seen it at take-out restaurants, but have also seen them at the register in places where the servers don’t handle your money. Seems more convenient, as you don’t have to go back to your table to leave a tip.

   Izzat so? I know queen bees mate with multiple drones (and then stash the sperm for future use), so worker bees are not clones. Same with ants? Neat.

   Terry Pratchett’s “Discworld” books occasionally mentioned “Hex,” a digital computer made from an ant colony. It was assembled by Ponder Stibbins, who was failing as a wizard because he was too good as an engineer.

   Wow, an actual joke today! No smirks, and Ed even smiles in the second panel.

   Not necessarily. Notice she said, “that was my drink!” Maybe it was already empty and she was planning to go back for a refill.

   And, of course, the cup is drawn as opaque blue; we can’t see if there’s anything in it.

   Wait, I’m trying to explain something Ed Crankshaft did?

    This week we’ve gone from lunch (and an overstuffed belly) on Monday to breakfast (waffles) and plenty of room in his gut yesterday, back to lunch today. Either TimeMop® is working overtime or Ed’s eating at least two meals a day at Dale Evans… which might explain why he’s going broke.
