I have to admit, this first cartoon of the month sort of sneaked up on me with the 1st being on a Friday. But it was also kind of good timing. I’m in Chicago where, as I write this on Wednesday, it’s almost 50 degrees below zero with the wind chill. Everyone is home for […]

“You remind me of a young me” is a not uncommon cliche. I don’t know who started it, but although I suppose it’s meant as a compliment, it’s always struck me as just really narcissistic. There’s a lot of funny ways to go with that but for this one I like the approach that he’s

I like westerns. I know they’re slow and quiet and there’s a lot of eyes darting and waiting nervously before the final gunfight, but I like them. So one day I was thinking about the shootout at high noon and wondered if there might sometimes be some sort of scheduling conflict. Then I thought about

The guys rowing on a ship cartoon has been around a long long time. There’s plenty of funny takes on it, but what I find interesting is how often it focuses on business.

Now, what I want to point out in this cartoon is something really simple — the shingles on the roof. I’ve been a cartoonist for more than 20 years, and goodness knows I’ve

I love language. Take these two phrases, “exit strategy” and “escape plan.” Both on their faces have essentially the same meanings. “Strategy” and “plan” are basically interchangeable. “Escape” is more charged than “exit,” but you hear more animated usages like “hasty exit” and “emergency exit.” And yet “exit strategy” and “escape plan” conjure up two

I haven’t been in an actual meeting room in a very long time. (I take that back. I took some meetings about my new website a while back in which I spilled various food and drink on myself including coffee, salad dressing, and a bagel with cream cheese.) Anyway, if memory serves, there was often
