Overboard by Chip Dunham for March 18, 2018

Count your blessings Louie. This strip actually gave me pause to think that I need to do the same…

♪♫ So turn ’em on, turn ’em on

Turn on those sad songs

When all hope is gone

You know sad songs say so much ♪♫

There but for the grace of God an all that!!!

I think people are misreading this. They are mourning the loss of their den, to which they had a nostalgic attachment. The pups were not in the den when it was bulldozed. They are faced with a serious difficulty, not a tragedy.

We always get a kick out of the mice and today, tiny mice sitting in tiny chairs. What don’t they have on board.

That would be a little insensative, Louie.

They raised their family in that den, but they escaped when the dozers showed up. They are losing their homes at alarming rates (which is why we see coyotes and such in suburbs on occasion). We are displacing the animals by tearing down the environment… and not leaving any for them.

A student in my college who opposed government-sponsored development of wild lands titled her senior thesis “Coyotes on the Plains, Wolves in Congress.”

Good to see Louie being considerate, as usual …

Happy Sunday, Crew.

People who feel and express compassion for those who have ora re depicted to have tragedies are more compassionate to others and that is a good thing. When others make fun of people feeling compassion they show they don’t have any at all. people who can’t feel any compassion or empathy are Not good Leaders.
