Hey, what happened to the “Published once perhaps in any given month sometimes” update schedule?

I noticed that the Liar in Chief was quite uncomfortable during the Colbert roast. Serves him right to have someone at last tell it to his face, even if it was in a bit round-about way.

Kate, you’ve obviously don’t know many nerds. “Little grown up” is just about right.

Whoa, poor kate. Guess she never noticed that when someone tells you to ‘grow up’ they really mean ‘stop growing.’

Last frame is awesome!!!

Also, ‘ping -98.186.202.135’ yeilds a TTL exceeded ICMP error, and nothing at that address answers DNS queries.

Is that a star spangled rubber ducky on Linus’s shirt? ROFLMAO!

John, I’m touched you’re trying out my ideas from the wiki. That’s worth more chuckles (to me at least) than you’d imagine. The strip just adds to the chuckle factor. :-)

Keep up the good work. It’s funny!

PJ: Yeah that’s your Star Spangled Rubber Ducky idea on the shirt. I thought it was rather clever (I wonder if anyone understood it). Sorry that I forgot to credit you there.
