We have a color copier at work that does incredible work … sometimes. As a counterfeiting tool it would be extremely unreliable. I think I thought of this strip one day while swearing at it for crumpling another important document.
My only problem with this cartoon is that two weeks ago Pete didn’t know who The Eagles were. The thing is, I rearrange the orders of cartoons from the order in which they were drawn and sometimes I’ll end up with two strips near each other that should have been separated by a greater amount of time. Or, I’ll accidentally separate strips that should have been together. You aren’t really interested, are you?
I hear conversations like this all the time. One of the things that strikes me, as an outside observer, is the equanimity with which both speakers participate.
This cartoon originally ran in January of 2010. Thought it might bring about some cool thoughts on this hot summer day. Probably not, but I still think it’s a funny strip.
Supposedly, Ben Franklin wanted the turkey to be our national emblem. If it had been, would we have viewed it the way we (most of us, anyway) view the bald eagle now?
