I wish you folks would take the political discussions somewhere else. This is a forum for discussion of a comic strip, not an outpost of the Tea Party or Common Ground, both of which are extremely obnoxious to me (though I know where my sympathies lie, I’m not going to share it with you here).
Passbook? Is Scancarelli recycling strips from 1973? And when Slim is the literary scholar in town, what does that say?
