Strange Brew by John Deering for September 29, 2023

Honestly?

“So, Stephen Douglas, we meet again. Lost a little weight, have you?”

So when does he finally cast away?

WILSON!

What am I missing here?

huh?

Alas, poor Wilson. I knew him well.

Next week, Lincoln in the Bardo.

Hey. A cartoonist has to eat.

He’s found a ball, like Tom Hanks ……

Lincoln probably would have resigned/

Had he seen just how much we’ve declined./

The Confederates’ spawn/

Have (in essence) withdrawn/

From “The last best hope of Mankind”.

I never thought of Lincoln Abe together with a castaway.

He was so happy to be rescued he made his own line of cars so he would never be “stranded” again.

Gone for forty days and forty nights…
