Just a reminder…
If you send me something for the LOL page, or any of the others, please mention the screen name you use here (or if you don’t want your name posted at all, let me know that as well).
You would think after all these years I’d be able to remember what screen name goes with what real-world name, especially when some of you have sent me countless comics, but you’d be wrong. I am just really, really bad with names. Always have been.

Back to School
Actually, once you’re a parent, that’s often replaced by Christmas-level anticipation.
Incredibly OT baseball-related trivia
As far as anybody knows, this is the oldest (surviving) photo of somebody “giving the finger.”
Why Charles Radbourne, standing at the far left in this team photo of the 1886 Boston Beaneaters (later the Braves), felt compelled to flip off the photographer is a matter lost to time.
Okay, here’s one that was queued up as a CIDU and just as I was about to post it, I went “Oh.”
