I don’t think that word means what he thinks it means

The irony is, Mr. Deering made sure he knew how “pyrrhic” was spelled…
And of course the joke would have been fine with just “Poetic Justice” on the sign.
B. A. : “A bit less funny now that they gave him Alzheimer’s”
“It’s all fun and games until somebody is diagnosed with a tragic neurological disorder.”
He still has to get up early, doesn’t he?
Not so different from when my wife has to get up early for a teleconference.

B.A.: If this is mocking the concept of cartoonists crowd-sourcing ideas from readers, this is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while.

Personally, I’d want to check out the other days on her calendar…
Glasses
- I’m sure I’ve mentioned in the past how much I detest the “Fibs your parents told you as a child” concept.
- What part of this is supposed to be funny?
- Why is this something parents would lie to a child about anyway? If she doesn’t want to wear glasses, will the promise of not having to wear them twenty years in the future make a bit of difference?
- That said, I wore glasses every waking moment from my pre-teens, and then suddenly stopped needing them when I was 44.
Funny story there: I thought my eyesight was really getting bad, because I was having a lot of trouble focusing. One day I was with a friend and I was trying to read a map, and I just couldn’t. She said “Try taking off your glasses.” And… problem solved: I didn’t need the glasses, not for close-up or for distance, and wearing them was the thing screwing me up. Who knew?
Comic Strips That Might Not Go Over Well Today

Caulfield would not have a drop of blood left…
