Nothing like a little expert post-game analysis to ease the pain of a sporting event hangover.






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.

Thanks to helpful tips from readers last time Comics Kingdom commenting came up, this time I was able to remark on this one: “So true! Burns me up when they do that!”.
TBH, this Rae the Doe isn’t really a LOL; but it needed to go in a list-post as not fully justifying a standalone daily post or even a bonus. What’s special about it is that you don’t often see a genuinely informative infographic as panel or strip of a regular comic (that is, excluding those that purport to bring you facts every day).

Thanks to Boise Ed for sending in this excellent Mutts, and for calling it a “fifth wall” cartoon!




A few takes on Mickey Mouse entering public domain. The Pinocchio one is particularly apropos.


Thanks to Boise Ed for this LOL from Tundra:
