Happy Yom Kippur, Susan Newman, if you are out there, and may your fast be an easy one.

@montessoriteacherThe people who should be atoning today are the moderators at GoComics for banishing Susan Newman, one of the most intelligent and entertaining posters here.

I love the French. I have pointed out the bravery of the French and the losses they suffered in the First World War many times to those who call the French cowards.My post was a reflection on what the three characters in the strip might be thinking; that they can communicate to each other in a common language because of their common colonial history.Maybe, I should’ve put quotation marks.

Just yesterday it occurred to me that I hadn’t seen any comments from Susan Newman in some time. I hope she will see our comments and know that we miss her!
BE THIS GUY about 10 years ago
@ThirdguyI don’t know why Susan was banished. Like montessoriteacher, I wish her an easy fast.

@WF11She won’t see some of them until after sundown tomorrow. But yes, many of us do miss her.
