    And if you could tone down the senseless beating of women? That would be great….

    The 2 guys on the left are more concerned with their gross earnings, the next guy seems to have picked up a sponsor and the guy on the right just gets a percentage of the net.

    Things have died down for the NFL as they knew it would. Goodell’s job is safe and the people can get their Sunday fix of vicarious violence. For all the millions of words flying around at the time the elevator tape emerged, the conversation never got around to the fact that football is a glorification, a celebration of violence and whether that’s a healthy thing in a society. Is it a good thing for people to have that outlet as a ventilator to the rage that builds in them during the course of a frustrating week doing unrewarding work for pointy-haired bosses and being in unhappy marriages and “the heartache, and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to” as Hamlet so sagely put it? Or is it a toxic, unhealthy sign of an immature population who hasn’t yet learned to deal with their feelings in a more appropriate way? Not for me to say though I have my opinions, one of them which is that it’s an important topic of conversation and one that I didn’t hear discussed. Of course as the harm that football players suffer from brain injuries comes into the open, if enough parents don’t allow their little ones to participate…….you can finish that thought yourself. But if football does slowly contract, will our society be better or worse off?

    No one condones the battering of women or anyone else, but it is disturbing that your workplace can control your home life. What if your workplace decides that teaching religion to your children is evil – many folks believe that now. What if that religion is peace oriented or what if the religion is violence oriented or tends toward witchery or is anti-science. I certainly understand the intent, but the long term unintended consequences can result in controls that we might not like.

    All the papers around here print the comics in colour. They “solved” printing costs by decreasing the number of comics. “We have one editorial comic in the comics section (Doonesbury). We don’t need to keep Non Sequitur too.” I wish they had kept Non Sequitur and got rid of Doonesbury. sigh

    The dailies are designed without color in mind. This is supposed to be black and white line art. Adding color distracts from that design, making the eye wander instead of focusing on what is intended to be focused on. In short, coloring the dailies is an abomination. It’s sensory overload on a comics page, as they comics are run too small, and most daily comics aren’t colored by the cartoonist, making it even worse. It also takes away what made the Sunday comics special.

    The guy with the speared ham also looks like he’s wearing a British safari hat. A bit of time travel, maybe?

    Well said, StCleve72. Football and its associated rituals are just modernized tribalism. I don’t get my self-esteem from what someone else does, but from what I do. I would hope that society has better, more useful things to do. We need more cooperation and less conflict.

    StCleve72: Blasphemy! You are preaching against the state religion of Texas! The fact that you are right is no defense.

    “Wiley. you draw the dailies in black and white and then some one else comes along and colours them.”Today’s Tampa Bay Times (the St. Petersburg paper) shows “Non Sequitur” in the same colors as GoComics, though the background in the former tends to be more gray and less blue than in GoComics. The few comics on the back-to-back page, however, are not colored. The guys in the middle of the arena have the same color of clothing, including the guy in the mauve skirt.
