Insects and crustaceans belong to the phylum Arthropoda. So the lobster is indeed a bug…

COVID. Tenisons between the US and China. Tension between India and Pakistan,

Neither statement is true, but I thought this was a comics section.

She has a point.

Covid-19. The denials about it. The conspiracies around it. Four more years.

Lots of things, Sunny….lots of things!

I know what’s scarier. Trump becoming president for the rest of his life.

The next ice age

On one hand I can see Sunny growing up to be a teacher. On the other hand I can’t see her becoming the next great horror novelist….

Don’t ask, Sunny. Please don’t ask.

And a lot more don’t.

Why does Doctor Applebee wear his scrub cap everywhere, even in the woods? I suspect it’s because if he didn’t we wouldn’t know who he was…

What I’d be interested in seeing is a strip in which Doctor decides he really doesn’t want to be a doctor.

Megalomaniacs?

Where are everyone’s masks???

So, at what point do I dump “Jump Start” a comic I used to like but has become infested with pseudo-science, destructive left wing politics and praise for foolish political ideas.

Especially if Sleepy Joe is elected.

What’s scarier? Lots and lots of real things—-looting and rioting and little kids in Chicago and elsewhere being murdered, child hunger, mental health issues, homelessness, etc. Let’s focus on things “we” can control; not the vagaries of the physical world.

Still a crummy crustacean.

The only thing scarier than the climate crisis is the abundance of denial thereof.

Yolanda.
