   I’ll bet you choose the option to donate money to reduce the public debt on your income taxes, too.

   Seriously, I purchase a digital subscription to my local paper which includes Crankshaft so I pay indirectly for this strip. I just came here today because I knew it would generate interesting comments.

   Why should I become a premium member? I can read everything I want to without it. If they shut down access then I would consider it. But right now, I supply a set of eyes that they can sell for access to advertising. My just being here provides value to the site owners, right? They must not believe a total paywall would work or they would have done it long ago.

   Nothing lies beyond the universe. By definition, the universe is everything.

   I, too, remember the 87 crash. Market was trading in the stratospheric heights of the low 2000’s and fell to around 1500 that day. The best thing to do in a crash is to buy, if you are able.

   Made me think of “Maria” from West Side Story.

   This comic is not about doctors; it is about elections. In particular, the 2020 and upcoming 2024 elections.

   I ask my grandchildren to call me “grumpy.” Then they call me “grumpy grandpaw” for a while. Everybody, including us, has cats &/or dogs so that’s why I use “paw.”

   I like that some of the stories here on Sherman are take-offs on real stories. nprDOTorg/2023/08/23/1195028955/heres-why-6-000-octopuses-like-to-be-under-the-sea-at-an-octopus-garden

   Looks like a Matisse print on the wall? Being an artist wasn’t his original goal and it didn’t make his father happy.

   In 1887, he went to Paris to study law, working as a court administrator in Le Cateau-Cambrésis after gaining his qualification. He first started to paint in 1889, after his mother brought him art supplies during a period of convalescence following an attack of appendicitis. He discovered “a kind of paradise” as he later described it, and decided to become an artist, deeply disappointing his father.

   For one thing, nowhere in this particular comic is “Christmas” mentioned. Implied, perhaps, but not directly mentioned.
