La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz for November 12, 2014

Can’t imagine why anyone would even want to date a Kardashian, no less marry one. JMO.

I wonder if Taylor Swift has broken up with both of ’em, too.

In today’s news –

First, this strip would have been submitted two weeks ago. Second, Ebola still seems to be quite relevant in the news even today, based on your very own post. Third, why no complaints about a mention of Kim Kardashian? Is it that she’s so much more relevant in the world than Ebola? Do you have a specific numerical limit for how often a given topic should be allowed to come up in a comic strip? If so, what would that numerical limit be?

If one had noticed, I addressed my comment to Night-Gaunt who said Ebola is surging.

And you answered by shifting the focus away from what @Night-Gaunt was saying. It’s surging in parts of West Africa, which is a serious problem considering the amount of folks there it’s been killing.

Plus, you had already complained, both today and on previous days, that Lalo continues to deal with Ebola. And then you turned right around and mentioned how it’s still in the news.

Maybe the reason Ebola is still in the news is because of people like Lalo who keep bringing it up.

So you’re saying that Lalo drives the news. I’m sure he’d be thrilled to hear it. On the other hand, maybe it’s in the news because it’s an ongoing humanitarian disaster in West Africa, in addition to which folks like Chris Christie and Andrew Cuomo fan the flames of fear—which is the opposite of what Alcaraz is doing.

As for your four other questions – they are rhetorical to you, so you already know the answers.

Nope. When I ask questions, I’m genuinely interested to hear some answers. So again: why no complaints about a mention of Kim Kardashian? Is it that she’s so much more relevant in the world than Ebola? Do you have a specific numerical limit for how often a given topic should be allowed to come up in a comic strip? If so, what would that numerical limit be? And another one: Is the reason you think my questions are rhetorical because your own are rhetorical, and you already know the answers?

And yet, my questions were not rhetorical but rather actual questions seeking actual answers. So again: why no complaints about a mention of Kim Kardashian? Is it that she’s so much more relevant in the world than Ebola? Do you have a specific numerical limit for how often a given topic should be allowed to come up in a comic strip? If so, what would that numerical limit be? I’ll let the final one slide since you (sort of) answered it; it’s a start!

Careful, you’re encroaching on Agrestic’s territory…(she has a lock on being curious)

I wouldn’t say that. You tend to be full of questions yourself.

And not enough medical people to populate these facilities… ;)
