This time, though, he just made me laugh.
I have played in so many D&D sessions that devolved down to this sort of exchange:

It’s not a big step from this to stoning women for “immodesty”.
In light of discussions about “lack of femininity” and “legitimate rape” and other such buzz-phrases that fly about these days, here is Sinfest’s take on the War on Women:
Still confused about “class warfare”? Be no more…
Tip o’ th’ hat to Mr. Trudeau. He still has it:
Insert your favorite Thomas Edison-bashing joke here.
Who invented and popularized AC electricity (overridden by Thomas “Whole-Hearted Thief” Edison and stolen from by George Westinghouse)?
Who invented and explored X-rays (credit taken by William Roentgen)?
Who invented radio and radar (credit for radio taken by Marconi, and radar for the Navy blocked by Edison)?
Who investigated the effect of cryogenic temperatures on electronics (a precursor to superconductivity)?
Who invented an earthquake machine that really worked?
Who invented neon lighting, and the modern induction electric motor, the spark plug, the remote control, and developed the fundamentals of radio astronomy?
For The Oatmeal, it’s nothing but net again.
“Yeah! And how about that virgin birth stuff? Crazy, huh??”
Work is keeping me pretty goshdarn busy as of late, so here’s a recent Jesus and Mo cartoon.
Mail should be sent in care of the Island Where the Wild Things Are
R.I.P., Maurice Sendak. We will miss you.
Much, much thanks to Mr. Gaiman for asking, and to the New Yorker Magazine for making the comic below available. It was drawn by Sendak and Art Spiegelman (of Maus fame), and has been made available to the public:

Maybe that’s why this Bad Machinery cartoon still has me laughing as the grey mist of dawn leapt out at me just now.
Ah, college days, and college-age metabolism
It’s a lazy Sunday, so a lazy post today:
Who knew blasphemy could be so…suggestive?
Science, Love, and LSD deliver again!
After all, Divinity is a hard act to follow. (Rimshot, please.)
Your extremist humor for April Fools’ Day
Bless The Oatmeal. May (s)he grace us with genius for many years to come!
(I wantwantwantwant that Tesla>Edison t-shirt. Hooray! I can get it!)
“Science, Love and LSD” makes my Comics Wonkiness hit parade
Stumbleupon brings me more goodies! Recently it brought me Science, Love and LSD.
Occupy! comes to Sinfest!
One of the most inspirational cartoons I’ve run across in a long time. (Click to enbiggen.)
Thank you so much, Mr. Ishida!
(MILD SPOILERS) There are some back-stories you may not know about — Blondie is fighting the Patriarchy from within (ala The Matrix), the little devil (in the last frame) is Lucifer’s outcast son, the woman with the megaphone has been made aware (by Blondie) that the Patriarchy is everywhere, and the Devil *is* the Patriarchy.
“God says, ‘Black people are scary!’ “
From the wisest of political cartoonists…here is today’s creation by Mr. Trudeau:
Just remember, kids. When you have a president who has a list of accomplishments as long as this, and the barking ignorant (birthers, neocons, Republican Party nominees, etc.) claim that he’s done little or nothing, what other possible reason is there for denigrating him?
“The opera. She is universal.”
I love me some Skin Horse. Here we see Tip, the cross-dressing, government-employed psychologist, trying to talk sense into an empire of opera-loving, sentient silverfish.

Friends don’t let friends go artistic…
