Political Possum Posturings

Forget about Weapons of Mass Destruction. Forget about Health Care and the War in Iraq and Swift Boats and The Texas National Guard. Forget about Halliburton and Tax Cuts For Rich People and Flip-Flops and Bulges on Backs.

Forget about all that stuff and go read some classic Pogo comic strips from the election years of the fifties. We're putting 'em up all this week, just to get your mind off things, over at The Official Pogo Possum Website.

Brief Interruption

Not long ago, I linked to Tom Spurgeon's new comic news website. That link and a few others drove so much traffic there that, he now informs me, his server kicked him off. Which is why if you go there, you get an "account suspended" page. Tom says a new server is being engaged and that he'll be back up and running in a week or so. See the power of news from me?

Okay, back to Soupland...

It's That Time Again...

It is a long-standing Internet Tradition — invented by me and followed by very few others — that when the proprietor of a weblog is too busy to update said weblog, the proprietor posts a photo of a can of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup. Since this is a comfort food, it is intended to make you feel secure even while I am putting other things ahead of entertaining you. In a day or so, when pressing work is done, deadlines are met and I don't have producers looking to beat and pummel me, all will return to normal around here. Be well.

Another Good Comics Blog

My pal Tom Spurgeon has set up shop as The Comics Reporter, and his site is full of useful info and sharp comments. You'll want to visit often.
