    Joe, just ignore the jerks! You need not explain yourself here! And thank you for your service to our country!

    Yet, some people still look askance (sp) when they find out you are a ‘Nam vet.

    please, lets not start another rant on the annoyances of some of the commenters below this strip again……

    if someone has achieved much, then they got something better to do than to waste time arguing with fools. If they’ve achieved little, then they should take the boot and make something of themselves.

    Now keep the comments to the subject of the comic strip, and don’t take away from the artist.

    For the record, I wasn’t making fun. I just thought it was unusual that Joe hadn’t shown up yet.

    Mia Cupa. I was just doing it in jest. You have typecast yourself JOE and as anyone who thinks he’s a comidian, I couldn’t help but do a spoof.

    Lew reader should be lew skipper and J oe could be gilligan; fore the win…… I think therefore I spew is not the motto here,I hope; but some times the comments are hilarious and if missing physically —Missed and need substitutes.

    That sky sure is striking. I like that the hilltops are backlit, and the shadows extending toward us intensify that effect.

    Joe told us about a year ago that he’d sustained a traumatic brain injury, and mentioned a couple of resulting disabilities. He is also living his normal life and enjoying comics. We have no right to demand of him any more than that. Nobody should have to explain themselves continuously.

    I think today is the first time in ages I’ve seen so many comments complimenting aspects of the day’s comic. Corey certainly earned them!

    Jesters eventually learn that you don’t always realize just who they’re making fun of if they arrived too late to know. So then it’s “mea culpa” time. Once they’ve apologized, we don’t need to demand any more than that from them either.

    [I say, let’s all just forget about the “typecast” and “comidian” and other non-issues. There’s nothing to be gained by arguing over whether brain-injured people typecast themselves just by existing, or whether comedians owe us perfect spelling, or whatever else.]
