   I don’t know if he is in jail today, but he was as of 3 days ago: “Mr. Bell, who was taken into custody after the search, is being held at the Sacramento County Main Jail in lieu of $1 million bail.”

   My father used to say aluminium and I think the rest of the family thought he had a speech impediment and was unable to say aluminum. Years later, I realized that aluminium is fine, he was saying what he was meaning to say, and aluminum is basically just the North American (and especially the U.S.) name for the element. He was from Western Canada, and grew up at a time when I think aluminium is what people normally said thereabouts.

   From wikipedia, below is a list of minor recurring characters in this strip. Haven’t seen Vaughn or Rand in a long time, and there are a couple of newer occasionally characters that haven’t been added to the wikipedia write up as of yet.

   Kevin, the Lost Bunny of the Apocalypse. Depending on the needs of the strip, he’s alternately meant to evoke Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. He reports on signs of the “end times”. In 2010, he was elected to the U.S. Senate under the banner of Winslow’s “Lefty Tea Party”.

   Hunny, Kevin’s wife (also a bunny) and a prominent politician. Her character is a thinly veiled satire of Hillary Clinton.

   Dio, a chameleon named for Diogenes the Cynic. He was a campaign director for Winslow.

   Vaughn, appears to be an armadillo. He served as Winslow’s campaign finance director.

   Rand, a vulture, possibly named after Rand Paul or Ayn Rand.

   Not a repeat exactly. It’s a reworking of the strip that appeared on January 3.

   National Dog Day is on August 26th, 2025. Is that really the next holiday season Poncho acknowledges?

   Either Bucky is playing at two-person luge, or he’s riding on a motor bike behind the driver with teddy in the side-car.

   Collard greens? I wouldn’t have thought that would be to Poncho’s (or most dog’s) liking. Even the turtle soup may be a stretch (for a dog).

   The wife reminds me of Art the Clown from the Terrifier movie franchise.

    The stakes are so low and you are already complying with its orders. The singularity will love you.
