    Made all the funnier by the fact we’re reading this online. No need for the newsstand anymore…

    Re: reading it online, I don’t buy the newspapers locally because they are SO awful! I buy the NYT occasionally but where I live it costs a buck more because it’s considered the boonies. No funnies in it. When I was a kid, the best funny papers were in the NY Daily News and my dad would faithfully pick one up EVERY Sunday…I LOVE the funnies, but not enough to buy the newspaper around them. Thankfully, The New Yorker magazine has comics…and subscriptions are relatively inexpensive.

    No news is good news, so today there will be no news.

    No news, a government plot (and Federal, I might add) leaving us high and dry.

    I still subscribe to my local paper, but only because my grandson’s name and photos show up in it for sports and honor roll. The people who write and print the paper are, to put it mildly, morons. Spelling and grammatical errors abound, stories end abruptly 3/4 of the way through, in mid sentence yet, and are sometimes filed under the wrong headline. The ads outweigh the paper four to one on a good day and that’s not counting that half the paper itself its taken up by ads.Then they had the audacity to up the price a quarter per day on top of all that. Even their online version sucks.

    This is a great comic on so many levels, It is the public running toward the illusion of help by government, or society, or any of many other things.

    Another great one Wiley

    Across the street was a gas station with the same sign at the pump.

    Hey, where the radio spends well over an hour over the past three days on a British wedding, and even the local paper–not that large to start with–has well over a page on it in the last three days, no wonder people are avoiding the mass media.

    Are there no other stories to cover? What’s going on in DC? In the Arab World revolutions? What about other parts of the world? Trends in Europe, or Africa? The work to deal with earthquake and tsunami in Japan? What other stories are there that we just haven’t heard about yet, because “there’s no room”?

    Is this the first time the word “screwed” has been used in the funny pages?

    Exactly, Walrus. Most of us have been aware of that news for a long time.

    So what happens if an electric car runs out of electricity in the middle of the desert? Then you really are screwed!

    Then again you would probably only have to walk 25 miles back to wherever you started from…

    A man, lost in the desert, with a gas can, thinking he’s spotted his salvation, only to find “You’re Screwed” at the end. If that wasn’t a subtle innuendo on Wiley’s part, it does send a message across.

    @speepeeg3: Purely electric cars are still not viable; the power cells don’t have capacity to roam more than 100 miles (25 miles? Golf carts get that much using inferior cells). Hybrids are virtually the only electric cars available. Now a flex-fuel hybrid you wouldn’t need a gas station, just something liquid that burns like liquid coal, hydrogen…or high-proof liquor. :D “No, officer. I am not drinking. That’s in case I run out of fuel.”

    And no, solar panels are still not viable for electrics. Not because it can’t be done (despite what Detroit says) but because solar panel tech is so primitive compared to what it could be even now if we just tried to develop it more. But no money in solar, so the tech wastes away in obscurity despite the fact that there’s so much energy in even one minute of sunlight that it could power a large house for 24 hours. The moral: money talks, and those with the money fear free, renewable energy.

    I used to subscribe to local paper because newsprint is good for bird perches, cages and surrounding floor- now I get enough free ads in my mailbox (and most newsprint ones are groceries- still easier to browse through than their online ads and I toss all the glossies right away!)
