Coming Soon 👀 At the beginning of April, you’ll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
This is like the Thomas Mann novel “The Magic Mountain”, which takes place in an Alpine sanatorium, where there’s a blizzard one day and a tropical jungle the next.
“If you don’t like the weather hang around just a bit and it’ll change.” We say that here in Missouri. As I’ve traveled some around the world EVERYONE says it about their region. Also, people have been saying that for decades. It’s not the climate change that’s being touted around now a days, it’s NORMAL change with the weather.
So only a couple of comments on the center of today’s strip? The days of just stretches of plain old “nice weather” are history. Polar Vortices reaching Texas, crippling ice storms in DC, tornados in England, blizzards in Italy, and the ocean going air-born over California, refilling massive lakes that haven’t been seen centuries. And when the sun finally comes out, deadly heat waves, drought, and the uncontrollable wildfires. Climate change is here now, and has been for a while. There is nothing normal about Minnesotans roller-blading in tee-shirts January.
Is Zonker going to explain The coming Ice Age? Global Warming? Climate Change? The Carbon Crisis? How paying Al Gore “carbon taxes” will save humanity?
Two entities who know for SURE that climate change is real, and are scrambling desperately to deal with its known (and increasingly severe) effects: The Pentagon, and the insurance industry.
AGW climate change global warming is nothing but a Chinese hoax, and I know this is true because former president tRumpy says so, and former Brazilian prez Bolsonaro encouraged tree removal in the Amazon to show all the sheeple who think AGW climate change is actually a thing how much he disdains that claim, and because the American Koch family (Heartland Institute) and about 100% of all the rest of the US Libertarian faction say that the FREE MARKET (which is the equivalent of a supernatural all-knowing deity) will decide this matter!
So there, all you leftie libtard socialist commie Demoncrat pro-gubmint dictatorship/anti-FREEDOM haters!
My daughter lives in nyc. She said up until this year, whenever anyone coughed, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at them. Covid trauma.
Think this is a flashback to Walden Puddle when Mike and Zonker were walking and Zonk turned it into spring. Mike asked him to do it again but Zonker said he didn’t want to wear out the batteries.

Dress in layers like they do in San Francisco. SF goes through the four seasons between 7 am and 7 pm.

It’s like visiting San Francisco. I always kept a four season selection of clothes in my trunk. Might need them all on a single day. :)

Lived in central Montana, and this could be a spring or fall day. Southern Arizona is not too far removed, but the snow would be exceptional.
