When you lose Day by Day:
The question is will Robert Stacy feel the need to repudiate this strip over his Rule 5 opinion of Maddow?
It’s interesting to note that he doesn’t even give Charles the satisfaction of a reference that could give him traffic.
Update: This is proof that being first doesn’t guarantee that elusive instalance.
From the archives of Cox and Forkum First 2006:

And a second one that although it has a different person it just remove the word “Communist” and substitute “Islamic” and it will give the same meaning:
This lesson applies to any dictator. Via Cox and Forkum BUY THEIR BOOKS!
Check out their Archives, the sad thing is their cartoons on Iran almost all could have been drawn today!
And did I mention BUY THEIR BOOKS! I review one of them here.
My review of the New hardcover collection: The New Yorker, On the Money The Economy in cartoons 1925-2009 is available at Amazon.com here.
One of the odd things about this book that I didn’t think of when I was writing the review was the almost total lack of black faces in the cartoons. Before 1960 it might have been unsurprising (how much of wall street’s wealth was in the hands of people of color then?) but once you get to the 90’s and the 2000’s it seems kinda odd to me. And the only time a black Character in a cartoon is actually the subject of one it is a ball player being interviewed: “Hey, I’m just happy to be making an obscene amount of money.” (not a bad joke either)
Perhaps it is a assumption that wealth and power is held by a bunch of privileged White men, perhaps because a lot of the cartoons consist of the rich being either tweaked for pomposity or arrogance the natural political correctness of the modern cartoonist forbade it. Who knows.
That in itself is an interesting cultural study.
Oh and the best cartoon is from the last year on page 250.

No titles or details have been released concerning these stories yet. In the last few hours Big finish gave the following details:
“We’re trying something a little different next year,” announces executive producer Nicholas Briggs, “with some surprising combinations of Doctors and companions. So it’s with great pleasure that I can announce that Frazer Hines will be reprising the role of Jamie McCrimmon, joining the Sixth Doctor for four brand new adventures.”
Three of these stories will comprise a season of full-cast plays, to be released between April and June. The fourth will be a tie-in Companion Chronicle story, which will be released in May, and will be performed by Hines alongside an as yet unnamed guest star. Hines, of course, accompanied the Second Doctor in his travels on TV between 1966-1969, and returned alongside the Second and Sixth Doctors in The Two Doctors (1984).

July 2010 brings another season of three stories, this time reuniting members of the TV cast for the first time in 26 years. “Janet Fielding will be back as Tegan Jovanka,” says Briggs, “for three stories that include Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor, Sarah Sutton as Nyssa and Mark Strickson as Vislor Turlough. Getting these actors together in one studio is a first for us – Janet has only done one play with us before, while Mark now lives in New Zealand. But they’ve all committed to the project and we couldn’t be more excited!”
For a year that was supposed to be thin for us Doctor Who fans an awful lot is happening.
Update: and I can’t believe that I forgot to mention that Forever Janette the Dr. Who/ Forever Knight crossover is back today too, our cup Tardis runnith over.
