Sunday 'Supertramp' Funnies

supertramp -- a species of organism that disperses widely and is not adapted to any specific environment
I said now watch what you say, they'll be calling you a radical
A liberal, oh fanatical, criminal
Oh won't you sign up your name? We'd like to feel you're acceptable
Respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable
So you think your schooling is phony
I guess it's hard not to agree
You say, "It all depends on money
And who is in your family tree"

Sunday "Trading Places" Funnies

Republicans and Democrats in Congress recently joined together to force rail workers to accept a contract with exactly zero paid sick days and one measly “personal day.” Thanks to the 1926 Railway Labor Act, lawmakers sided with (surprise, surprise!) multi-billion dollar rail corporations instead of workers.

Sunday "Abandon Hope All Ye" Funnies


Still cringing about blue pill/red pill.
And making a supreme effort to stay you-know-who-free here.
Topic du jour of the week: railroaded.

Appropriately bipartisan, but there's still supposed to be a party that gives a shit about working people.  Allegedly.


So this observer applauds both a general strike in defiance of the government's ban against the rail unions' striking and the formation of a third party to address the concerns of labor and the working class.  Or better yet, labor finally waking up and smelling the coffee to join forces with the Greens.


Yes, I buried the lede toon (so you'd scroll this far).


Mike Flugennock drew a great Musk FashPhone before Tim Apple and the Chief Twit managed to smooth over their differences.
Tom Tomorrow -- who'd probably like to take more time off -- ponders the existentialism of the political toonist keeping up with current events.
And this God makes more sense than the one being translated by evangelical Christians.  That doesn't mean they're not both figments of man's imagination.

I might not be the free speech absolutist that Elon Musk fancies himself to be since there's a list of books I wish were banned.

Existential Comics checks in on the striking university philosophy department staffers in the UK (there are also college staff on strike in California).  As Daily Cartoonist notes, the accompanying explanation is as funny as the toon.
Last, the legacy of 1960s underground artist Aline Kominsky-Crumb serves as her best eulogy.
