Sue, Chip is at a disadvantage because the paper he works for doesn't actually run much news. Chips cartoons would be easier to "get" if they were about housebreaking puppies, cheesecake recipes, LeBron's fingernails, or the latest reason Terry Pluto feels unworthy of getting into heaven.

If you were getting your news from Auggie…… well I'll be nice for once.

Some of us don't feel the need to join in. But I do miss Auggie. I like seeing the links to whatever article inspired the cartoons. If I don't get a cartoon, I'm usually behind in my news. I liked Clippy.

I was meditating and fasting for days about whether or not I was being an insufferable bully. But alas, no epiphany.

It was revealed to me however that Jesus didn't speak English and that if he's coming back to the U.S.of A., he'd better learn some or he'll likely be sent back to Chihuahua in a bus with the windows

painted black.

That'd be a tough spin for Tony Snow.

At least you're okay!

I thought surely Bok's wife or neighbors would comment at some point.

Damn you Larry. I was waiting to see how many goose eggs Bok could ring up before someone commented, and now you've gone and spoiled it.

It's a good thing Chip's paycheck doesn't depend on the 7 people that read this blog.

Bluster my butt. More like a whisper.

Wow, this blog misses Auggie and I hope Mencken's all right. I checked all the local hospitals but nobody knows of any recent admissions under the names Mencken, Wordsmith or The Mannequin.

It looks like people are going to see the movie. How were the reviews on the book? I've heard it's not all that artistically satisfying either. I guess it doesn't matter in a country that watches American Idol so closely.
