   It appears the car is shrinking; either that, or Zonker has lost the top part of his head. The perspective seems about the same in panels 2 and 4, but the steering wheel is also noticeably larger in panel 4.

   In addition to interviews, Dawkins has written several books. I’ve read “The Selfish Gene”, “The Blind Watchmaker”, “The Magic of Reality”, and “The Greatest Show on Earth”. Each is solidly argued, extremely well written/edited and the sort of thing that ought to be required reading in high school science classes.

   The yam used at least half of daddy’s bequest to buy Monopoly games, then collected all the “money” in each of those games, and reported it as an asset on his financials. Wheeeeeee!!! Instant billionaire!!!!!

   It’s worse than the yam living rent-free in MAGAt’s heads – they’re actually paying him for the “privilege” of being able to feel like they are the “chosen ones” and superior to all those lefties.

   Were it to happen before Thomas and Alito leave, it would likely generate a lawsuit that would end up in front of the Supremes and they’d declare it “unconstitutional”. Yes, I’m a cynical curmudgeon.

   I’m curious about the language represented by the “foreign” characters. Is it Arabic?

    Above you say " ‘Tax cuts are for the rich.’ It goes hand in hand with their idea that the rich are evil and cause all our problems. Can they really not understand how tax cuts boost the economy, even for the poor who pay no taxes?“

    The over-riding problem you ignore is that you are greatly oversimplifying your economics here. There is absolutely nothing that forces the rich to spend proportionately more (using 100% of their tax reduction to keep the economy humming along) and you also totally ignore the fact that many of the large corporations who got tax cuts from the yam used that influx of cash to buy back shares, thus boosting the per-share value and thereby increasing the value of stock holdings for the wealthy.

    According to an article in Forbes (definitely not a “liberal” publication) on Feb. 21, 2019, “The underlying logic for the TCJA was that allowing companies to keep a greater share of profits, would stimulate investments in long term growth. Instead, the dominant company response to the TCJA was stock buybacks. For the first three quarters of 2018, buybacks were $583.4 billion (up up 52.6% from 2017).”
