The Grizzwells by Bill Schorr for February 13, 2025

I don’t understand woke myself.

If you have empathy and care about your fellow man you are woke. The Christians call that being a far left nut job.

Yes, just leave it at that, Warren… If it’s not woken don’t fix it…!

Definition of woke: Whiny, demanding, self centered, bulling everyone else and trying to make them conform to something that yourself would never conform to, and then crying that no one will do what you say.

Second commandment, after to love God and only worship Him: Love your neighbor and treat them as you would treat yourself.

Woke" another jargon word that will slide down the chute to disuse, just as so many others over the generations.

I have yet to see a clear, concise definition of the word, but its adherents seem to be an oleo of all types of personalities, opinions, and descriptions, and with no clear statement of a philosophy.

I know how Pops feels some days. I look at the news, the decisions made, then backtracked by Buttercup and Woofy or their minions, and the reactions of various fer/agin factions, then turn to these comic pages and try to enjoy the humor of bright minds. But, if some of the above predictions about future of GC are accurate, I might not have that pleasure for long. Sad.

Mark Maron: “I’m an old fart, but I think I’m pretty woke. I’d say I’m about…85% woke. For the other 15%, I keep my mouth shut. Which is kind of the point.”
