OK, I know that (A) this is a re-run of a re-run of a re-run, and (B) August is pretty durn far from the end of the year (though, of late, it has felt like we could be at the end-of-days). Still, no comments on this glorious strip as of 6:00 EDT?!! Me? I got nuttin’, other than applause, applause to RT, and a firm “Trump* you!!!” to the Parkinson’s that took RT’s genius away from us. *I apologize profusely for using so vulgar a term. It is beneath the sanctity of the internet.
