Kliban by B. Kliban for December 08, 2021

This has to be accompanied by The Song of the Volga Boatmen.

Classic Kliban! Always loved this one.

People make a simple task into a nightmare…

Bureaucrats.

Fundamentalists

“Because we’ve always done it this way.”

Reminds me of “My Little Pony,” where the clothing designer is usually naked.

I see square pegs and round holes in their future!

Hate to harsh Kliban’s symbolism, but no amount of pushing would make those pseudo-wheels turn once one of their flat sides is on the ground. I believe they’d need 8 sides per, at a minimum.

As Phoebe Buffay would say, “This works on so many levels.”

“Shoemaker’s children go barefoot.”

This cartoon needs to be next to the word, “irony” in the dictionary!
