Three panel comic. Panel 1: on the set of the Jerry Springer show, a man sits in a chair. Jerry signals off-stage and says, “we have with us: your ancestor who crawled out of the ocean 375 million years ago!” Panel 2: the live studio audience is booing. Panel 3: security attempts to break up a fight between the man on stage, and his ancestor, a tiktaalik.

I always think of William Goldman’s great dialogue from CHINATOWN: “Why are you doing it? How much better can you eat? What could you buy that you can't already afford?”

A man stands at the ticket counter of a movie theater. An employee asks if he’d like to upgrade his ticket. “Would you like to upgrade to Cinema VIP? You can pause the film for bathroom breaks.”  Our man is intrigued by the offer. Next slide. Inside the movie theater. The film has been paused and the movie screen lets the audience know: “PAUSED FOR VIP.” Our man stands at the center of the theater with his hands raised and a VIP badge attached to a lanyard around his neck. He’s part of the Cinema VIP program but at what cost? The other patrons have become increasingly upset with the pauses. A chorus of angry voices rain down on the VIP from around the theater. “Sit down, toilet boy,” one woman yells. She’s had enough of his potty breaks. “Oh COME on.” “Get this guy outta here.” “He ruined the trailers, too.” “Take his badge.” “3 times?!” “Put a diaper on.”

NEW: Remember when John Oliver opened a church to expose how easy it was to get tax exemptions? This year, ProPublica reporters set out to establish private schools to test if, truly, anyone could open one. We founded two. Here’s how.

The reporting experiment demonstrates how easy it can be to open private schools that might then access public money. No credentials or background checks required.

Comics in the Spooky Age 🧛‍♂️🧟‍♀️🎃 @comicsinthega.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
The Pogo comic strip by Walt Kelly debuted on October 4, 1948, in the New York Star. It ran until the paper folded in January 1949, but the strip was picked up for national distribution in May 1949. Before the strip, Kelly had written and drawn the characters in Dell comic books since 1941.
The first four-panel installment of Pogo sees Pogo Possum encounter Churchy LaFemme while he is trying to teach a small worm to go forward in life.

i wrote about the rule my friend and i have: we call each other to cry and scream and rend our garments in moments of agony, but at the end of every such conversation, we have to tell each other a joke www.patreon.com/raxkingisdea...
To feel pain in an appropriate moment for it—to ache with angry sympathy for a young woman's suffering, in this case—is to be seduced just a little. You know you're right to be sad and enraged. You don't want to let any of it go after you've acknowledged it. That's your sadness and rage, righteously felt. The pain bears witness and says I can't do this anymore through your mouth, but the pain won't have to suffer the consequences of not doing this anymore. You will. That's why we end our calls with two jokes no matter how much we don't feel like it. Doing so halts the seduction. Even a very grumpily delivered joke tells that pain to take a beat, please, because we're using our brains for something else right now. It's not exactly good we feel after telling these jokes, but it's not exactly unequivocally miserable, either, which is a start.

“You think we’re getting a little too close to Meta?” [John Georges, co-owner of Georges Media Group, the state’s largest media organization and parent company of the state’s largest newspaper, The Times-Picayune | The New Orleans Advocate], asked. “I’m not afraid of the sun.

Butterbutt. An older comic.
A four-panel comic titled "yellow-rumped warbler poem". In panel 1, a yellow-rumped warbler stands on a branch in a late autumn scene, and says "Fall is here." In panel 2, the warbler watches a brown leaf fall to the ground, and says "Winter's near." In panel 3, the warbler faces the viewer as brown leaves fall, and says "Need some cheer?" In panel 4, the warbler is showing its luminous yellow rump, and cheerfully says "See my rear."

🎃
A 7 panel comic by the artist. First panel: The artist is running from a distance towards a group of people playing basketball in the park. The artist is holding a pumpkin above their head and screaming "AAAAAAAAA". Second panel: The artist has leapt up and is in position to slam dunk the pumpkin into the basketball hoop. Panel three: the pumpkin splatters violently against the backboard of the basketball hoop, sending orange pumpkin goop everywhere. Panel four: the players stand staring, covered in pumpkin goop and shocked. Panel five: the artist stares at them wide-eyed, also covered in the goop and says "it's October FIRST". Their hand reaches towards their face. Panel six: the artist rips off their own face like a rubber mask to reveal a skeleton beneath. Panel 7: the group of players stand shocked and horrified, watching as the skeleton falls to the ground in a pile of bones, the sound effects says "CLATTER".

there are moral arguments against the death penalty in its ideal form but in real life you never need to get there. the prior question is "can the state be trusted to end the life only of the rightly convicted without torture?" and the answer is no
