Usually the comic doesn't change for me. At least it hasn't for like a month now. Maybe your comic is meant as a political cartoon and supposed to be serious. Or maybe that isn't what the artist intended. Who knows. I usually don't put too much thought into the content of paid to click.

I'm glad that I didn't see it. That would really bother me.

Unfortunately, I can't do the PTC today, so I haven't seen that comic. Some of them are pretty stupid, though. That guy's got a STRANGE sense of humor.

This comic also ran several months ago.  I agree that it is in poor taste.  There have been a few over the past few years that I either did not understand or had no detectable humor to them at all.  This is one of them.


We've all probably seen depictions in various cartoons or movies of dehydrated people crawling in the desert sand, gasping: "Water!   water!!!"  In this case there is a baby crawling and crying for "wa wa..." I assume the artist is trying to draw some sort of comparison, but there is no humor to it in my opinion.

Didn't see it. Glad I didn't.

I am a mom, grandma, and great-grandma.

That would make me upset.

I am glad I didn't have that comic.  Mine is still the birds with a message about sending TWEETS....I ignore it and don't even look at the comic.

I saw it and didn't understand.   Thought it was me, I looked at it for a few seconds trying to see if I was missing something.

I saw it too, and wasn't quite sure what they were trying to say.  I actually paused for a few seconds to figure it out.  I don't remember the caption, but decided it was a play on words.  I rarely "get" the comics, anyway.  It's once in a blue moon that I actually laugh at one!
