Stupor Bowl LoL

This cartoon by Travor Spaulding was originally published in The New Yorker four years ago, but it is still appropriate for today:


Jeff Millar wrote, and Bill Hinds drew this Tank McNamara strip as part of a widespread tribute to Charles Schulz on 27-May-2000:









Coincidentally, this year’s event (LVIII) will be the first ever held in (or at least near) Las Vegas, Nevada.

  1. There’s a new restaurant in town with good reviews, and my wife and I wanted to try it this weekend. We figure tonight will be the perfect time, because the Superbowl will keep crowds down.

    There seems to be even more hype about the Superbowl this year. I don’t blame Taylor Swift; I blame the media looking for a cheap, popular story, and covering Taylor Swift is definitely a cheap, popular story. (It is at least a more upbeat story than U.S. politics this year.)

  2. Another story I may have posted before – Again, Robert does not like sports. 

    Back in the 1970s and 80s the Super Bowl was played/broadcast in the afternoon Eastern Time.  we would be out in stores to walk around for something to do (still do this) so we were not just sitting home all the time on the weekends (now we go during week when the traffic is lighter due to ongoing Covid concerns on our part). 

    While the game was playing he would walk around change the channel on the TVs in the stores when no one was looking – just for fun. 

    Luckily he never got into a fight for doing this. 

  3. Robert just came downstairs for our pre-bed snack (as it is 2:25 am). I told him about the posting for “Stupor Bowl”. Robert is not a fan of comics and does not understand my reading and discussing them (but I love him anyway – for over 50 years), but telling him about this title – makes him appreciate my reading the comics on this site for the first time.

    (Now onto the cereal for snack and some pudding.)

  4. @ Meryl (3) – You might try reading that Cathy strip to him, he would probably agree with the sentiment; and tell him about the title of Monday’s “Bowl Movement” post, too.
