In honor of the Olympics (yes, I know track and field is in the summer Olympics)


Mitch4 sends this in: “Probably no longer an in-joke of lawyers, but it used to be said of a good prosecutor that they “could get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich”.”


Dirk the Daring sends this in as a possible Arlo: “Perhaps the first panel deserves an Arlo award. It stopped me for a moment before I got to the second panel. I would have trouble believing this is accidental.”










Dirk the Daring sends in this LOL (and Geezer alert):






As a kid in the back seat, I used to look up after seeing “Watch for Falling Rock” signs to see if there were rocks falling. This, of course, was futile. Drivers on curvy mountain roads should be looking at the road, and looking for fallen rocks, not staring up at the bluff on the off-chance that there’s a boulder coming down right at this very second. Most, but not all, signs I see on the highway now say fallen, not falling.



Mark H. sends this in as a fourth wall breaker, and wonders: “Do cartoon characters count in base eight?”

chemgal sends this in: “For those unfamiliar with the strip, it’s worth noting that she is the mother of the young streaker, and the coach chasing him is his dad. Her very chill attitude contrasting the wide-eyed stared of the other spectators is what made me laugh.”



Background: Amazon, controlled by bald billionaire Jeff Bezos, now owns the Bond movie franchise.


This reminds me of this video from Dr. Glaucomflecken:
[Yes, he is actually a doctor licensed in the US, and has some serious YouTube videos related to his specialty (ophthalmology), but he has a bigger audience for his comedy.]


Here’s some current comics as they were posted on January 16, 1995
Baby Blues is still building that family.

Big Nate is easily recognizable, without much change.

Arlo and Janis look a big younger, but otherwise the same.

FoxTrot was still in dailies.

I wanted to check Gasoline Alley, which is famous both for being long-running and for aging the characters. But they’ve switched syndicates over time, and I got the message “Gasoline Alley started on April 8, 2001”.
