Rubes by Leigh Rubin for February 09, 2025

The women actually wrapped their hair up and placed those pointy hats over the mass. They wouldn’t have hair hanging down like that.

The rebellious unicorn look.

Dunces, the lot of them.

They look really Snobby about it too!

Point taken.

I didn’t realize that the pointy hat convention was today!

Yeoman Rand could’ve used one of those hats.

Perhaps you should tell them. I’m sure you’d be convincing.

They’re off to the dunce.

They’re just hiding the fact that their mothers had affairs with unicorns.

And they’re wearing them backwards!

pot meet kettle, your hat is almost identical (and I rhymed!)

He makes a good point.

And your point is?

Leigh Rubin, who draws Rubes, is a friend of mine. About a month ago, Leigh’s wife Teresa suffered a serious medical issue at home. She’s in a coma and on a ventilator in a care facility that has Leigh six hours from home to be with her. You might think that being a comic-strip artist means you live in mansions, but no. And this is costing a lot of money.

If you are familiar with Rubes, and have gotten laughs from Leigh over the years, please consider donating to a GoFundMe. This was set up by Leigh and Teresa’s friends, so it’s on the level.

I’m sure GoComics won’t let me post a link here, but I’ll try. Otherwise, if you search for “Leigh Rubin” on GoFundMe, you’ll see “Leigh & Teresa Rubin Need Our Help.”
