The comic strip Fox Trot, which is one of my absolute favorite of all newspaper comics, will stop appearing in newspapers as a daily strip on Dec. 30th. Amend says that it will continue as a Sunday run for the time being. He wants to pursue other things, and says to expect to see Fox […]

All right, all right. I’ll weigh in on the current presidential race. My political views range from apathetic to “snorkel types are more interesting to me,” but recently more and more people have been asking my opinion.
