Yesterday I said, “For someone who doesn’t drink, Trump’s late night rants are typical of someone with a substance abuse problem.”
Today, it’s reported that Trump’s Chief of Staff, Susie “Trump” Wiles, has said that DJT “has an alcoholic’s personality.”
I licensed yesterday’s Arlo & Janis comic strip for one-time use from Universal Features Syndicate (aka Andrews McMeel). King Features Syndicate doesn’t license its comic strips for online use. They’re shared by linking to them, or when Comics Kingdom features them elsewhere, such as Facebook. Not wanting to run afoul of the syndicate and the National Cartoonists Society, I will limit myself to a teaser image from today’s Snuffy Smith strip. Here is the link, showing Snuffy being pleased that Hootin’ Holler will no longer be plagued by the presence of Pratts.

Snuffy’s cartoonist is John Rose, who is a very good guy to meet, as I did at the NCS conference in August. I’m hoping the strip is an inside joke to Pratts who are friends of his! 🙂
I paid $45 to share today’s Arlo & Janis strip here. So, you better darn well appreciate it! 😉
I’d like to stack the first two panels on top of the other two, but the licensing agreement won’t let me do that: “There can be no changes, deletions or additions to the material.” So, click to enlarge, or pinch to zoom.
Nothing of what Trump posted about the murder of Rob Reiner surprises me. And yet, I can’t stop myself from saying something about it.
“A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood,” the president wrote on Truth Social. “Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS.”

For someone who doesn’t drink, Trump’s late night rants are typical of someone with a substance abuse problem. He blames the victim while making it about himself. If Rob Reiner was “tortured and struggling,” it wasn’t about Trump, it was because of his drug-addicted son.
Scott Adams is back in the hospital. He’s receiving radiation treatments. I can relate.
Having had a large chunk of melanoma carved out of my scalp eight years ago, a spot that recently appeared on my stomach concerned me. My dermatologist was quick to assure me it’s nothing.
Two spots on my leg, however, were immediate candidates for biopsy. I’m now waiting for the results.
