Rubes by Leigh Rubin for June 23, 2012

There’s one born every minute.

Ergo the name of the paper.

No news is good news?

So make up your own stories.

All the other newspapers turn out to be devoid of content only after you’ve read the text.

…except the comics page, of course.

and they say there’s not enough space for toons…...and look. There’s that phunnie lookin tumbleweed again!

If it’s strong, soft and absorbent then I think we’ve got a deal.

The question is: Does he buy it daily?

Try again tomorrow.
