Pearls Before Swine

I happen to love comics. I hate touching news print (all the ink residue and smell is a bit much for me) but when I'm visiting the Northlands of WI, well I risk the ink and start stealing the crossword/comics/Lifestyle section from Momma Frog. Mayhem (of the happy/funny kind) ensues because Momma Frog is a bit territorial with her crosswords and Lifestyle section.

Thanks to the Internet I can get my funny fix sans ink. Pearls Before Swine is one of my favorites. Not the best drawing, but often it has great social/political commentary...and a subversive message. This one made me smile ear to ear.

Why the smile? My biggest photo pet peeve, be it photo business cards (especially in Real Estate) or some other posed photos, is the shot of the hand under his/her chin look. Often the person looks like a dumb-ass with his/her hand under her chin. Note to any who are considering this: You do not look smart or cute. You look ridiculous! Sometimes little kids pictures can pull this off, but more often I can forgive those photos because the kid had no choice. I may take a note from Rat and start finding ways to institute corporal punishment to offenders. If you have one of these photos, well I say, "Good for you!" but know I never want you to send one to me.
