The Big Picture by Lennie Peterson for May 24, 2021

Revenge is best when served cold. Don’t remember who said it unfortunately.

Newspapers editors are comfortable with the Family Circus and they think Zits is edgy

It is a it of a surprise this strip made it into any papers at all

Who reads newspapers anymore? LOL. And I say this as someone who worked for a big newspaper chain for decades (and retired early due to print’s demise). Besides, OUR newspaper never carried The Big Picture. That’s probably what killed them. LOL!

That totally sucks, and I wonder at the rat’s ass who made that decision.

Karma, thou art a B??? (didn’t want to offend anyone!) Lennie, you got some happy bday wishes in the comments on the 20th! :-)

We must always protect the chilled rum.

I think it should be obvious why those papers are now defunct.

Dead and rotting in HE – double hockey sticks

These days that is just common talk for the ‘the children’ you are trying to protect. And I’m sure most of them hear a lot worse at home and from their friends. And don’t even get started on the language of TV.

Take that patooties.

Living well is the best revenge – George Herbert, 1640. Maybe he drew a comic strip.

That’ll teach those papers not to cancel your comic.

My local paper dropped Tim Rickard (“Brewster Rocket” on this site) as staff illustrator, as well as a bunch of good people and features. Then we dropped the paper, so we’re up $300/year.

Who gives a rat’s patootie what those rat’s asses think?

I kind of like the sound of Rat’s Patootie. It has a certain ring to it. Or is that a zing that catches the recipient off guard, leaving them wondering what just happened.?
