   Dear readers, all I can say is REALLY? You’d stop reading my brilliantly incisive commentary because you might disagree with me on occasion about something like climate change?

   Liz’s decision to look for a job has a profound effect on poor Sam. He begins questioning his own value, because, as we men all understand, it’s really all about.US.

   It’s my biggest worry when I teach a class in cartooning, which I do on occasion—that I’m boring my students. I thought I’d turn it around in this strip and see it from a student’s point of view.

    My kids were always conflicted about going back to school. By the end of summer they were bored, excited by a new classroom, new teacher, new friends, but not particularly eager for the work to begin again. Nate, an indifferent student at best, feels no such ambivalence.
