Brevity by Dan Thompson for August 15, 2011

Hypocrites

Anyone else having problems seeing today’s opus?

Oh no…. somebody stole my Brevity. Who’s running around with scissors?

Meanwhile from yesterday — Thank you Crossroads and Saucy! I had no idea spectators might toss a beach ball in the bleachers at sporting events.I was thinking there must be an event I’d never heard of, in which they were included on purpose.Now it makes sense that the “official” grabbed and deflated one, and a bigger ball sought revenge — whether on its own, or tossed by someone. Thanks!

Upper left hand corner. Click on the red X in the box next to the word Brevity. The strip will appear. Something weird about Go Comics.

And No 6 — of course you didn’t “offend” me… One can like people and yet express a wish for a peaceful forum — and it certainly wasn’t all directed at you!I thought certain negative remarks were uncalled for, but surely not meant as affronts to be countered at every turn.Sometimes the whole just comes across as more contentious than necessary to those not involved….And because some of us are used to the idea that even “ALL CAPS” is considered shouting, huge bold header type looks like screaming for attention, however unintended.All that has nothing to do with friendship. A difference of opinion, whether about a subject at hand or its proper expression, is not a personal attack. OK?

@waycyberFrom what I know about “Brevity”, this could be today’s opus.

Some of the above helpful comments seem inapplicable to what I am seeing. (Thanks anyway.) However, what works for me is, click on the magnifier.

Click on the magnifying glass.

Too bad it’s not coming up more easily, this morning, ‘cause it’s a really good one.

@BaileyYes, it reminds me of a strip I read a few years ago where some kid sprayed “Save the ozone layer” on a wall.

Odd choice for mid-August…

Lothar, your comment about the strip made me laugh. I wouldn’t be surprised if one morning it was just a white box…

…and then everyone either got into their Hummer or back on the plane to go home.

From Friday. Those poor kids on the SLOW Children Playing signs don’t have any hands or feet. That really would slow you down……OK, maybe the kids on the sign are walking in ankle deep water, but that doesn’t explain their lack of hands. When I see a Soft Shoulder sign, I think of my sweetie…

and AL Gore hopped into his stretch limo and headed back to his mansion that uses more energy than any of the other people in his town.

Oh but all that trash is “biodegradable”! eye roll

I occasionally run into problems seeing comics, usually because they’re loading slowly. I find that if I go back one day in the same strip, then come back, it usually works fine.

__Thanks! I actually caught your comment on this last night before you changed it… and I pulled it up. Wow! That’s a bunch of comments!I have the paged saved in my “reading list” and appreciate the guidance.

Very best.
