In Pie We Trust











(Can't read this cartoon clearly? Click it!)

Bizarro is brought to you today by Last Year.

Another year has passed and I, for one, am happy about it. Personally, I had one of the roughest years ever, but those problems mended as the year went on and the election results in November helped to end it on a positive note.

Here's hoping all of you have a terrific and prosperous 2009, unless, of course, you are a bad person who victimizes others, in which case I hope you get caught.

I know everyone is tired of hearing about politics, so am I, but six weeks ago when I drew this cartoon it seemed a good subject for the year in review. I particularly like the "In Pie We Trust" symbol on the bottom of the first panel. Maybe I'll offer that as a T-shirt at some point.

Monkey Covers

Popeye #42Sunday is Monkey Covers day here at YACB. Because there's nothing better than a comic with a monkey on the cover!

Popeye eats his favorite vegetable to put the smack-down on a gorilla on Bud Sagendorf's cover to Popeye #42 (1957).

(Standard disclaimer about Trap Island gorillas not really being monkeys applies.)
