Glasbergen Cartoons by Randy Glasbergen for February 10, 2025

Only those who love to be wannabe victims are “shocked”. We, the average humans, are numb to the shock claims. No surprises here. sorry Cheers

“Numb” as a “plum”.

Now it seems like a competition.

Today people are offended by being shocked.

…….voltage tolerant?

The opening lines from Don Marquis’s ‘archy is shocked’ circa 1918:

.

speaking of shocking things

as so many people are these days

i encountered an incident in a

subway train recently

that made my blood run cold

a dignified looking gentleman

in a long brown beard suddenly

reached up and pulled his own

left eye from the socket

and ate it the consternation

in the car can be imagined

((Et cetera))

(BTW archy is a cockroach transmigrated from French vers libre poet, Francois Villon and types pithy commentary on newspaper columnist Don Marquis’ typewriter in Lowe case, since he can’t operate the Shift Lock key.)
