Swingin On the Flippity-Flop

TODAY'S STRIP

It's always a good way to start off the day to see a lovely young woman smiling in the comics, isn't it folks? I declare. Ostensibly she's glad that Judith Miller got thrown in the hoosegow for treasonous activity; maybe she can share some Doritos with her buddy Saddam while she's in there. But I'm sure there's more to it than that.

So what's she really smiling about? The fact that she is deeply content with 99.99% of all golf courses allowing her to play and doesn't care a Hootie that Augusta National Golf Club doesn't admit women as members? Possibly. Maybe she's reading a humorous recounting of the grunge hoax of '92 and laffing at such patently ridiculous reportage. I know I was slapping my knee over that one.

Eureka! That must be it! Thursday's food section. Catch of the day is in, and Winslow's been kind enough to share the editorial page of the Fishwrap of Record with her. (Sure, it's the desert, folks. That's why you gotta take the fresh fish while you can get it.)
