Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for October 23, 2018

there are times I try to stay clear of the political-themed comic strips

Almost every comic strip involves politics.

Again, comic strips have always involved politics. What’s regarded as the very first one, “Hogan’s Alley” with the Yellow Kid, was a commentary on slums and immigrants.

Panel 2, what you’re looking for is there, it’s just not in the comics section.

Before politics deteriorated into blood sport, this time of year used to be called the “silly season.”

Today’s content adapted from comments left on this strip! (Remember, kiddos, it’s not hypocrisy if it’s satire~)

Funnies – my Dad used that word! Anyway, I totally agree and that is the reason I was reading the “funnies,” too. Now politics have bleed over into the strips and especially the comments (I’m guilty, too) and I quit reading some strips and have taken a break from comments (present posting excluded).

We are bombarded with politics now. As far as I can determine from the TV ads, everyone running for office is a lying SOB.

if only you’d try to steer clear of the rest of the ’toons, too…

I like how her eyeglasses are drawn in the last panel. looks almost 3D.
