Comic. [Person and person with white hat facing two boxes stacked with $80 price tag and sale tag on each box.] PERSON 1: They want $80 for this? I could make one myself for $10 in parts, an hour of work, a trip to the hardware store, another $30 in parts, another few hours of work, two more trips to the store for $20 more in parts, another hour of work to redo the first hour of work because I messed up, and $80 to buy this when the one I made breaks.

Overheard on campus: "I'm not sure if I'm going to watch the State of the Union address. If I do, it will be because it's Lent and I'm trying to do more penitential practices."

The back of a TV. The text reads: This side saves lives. Anchor your TVs and furniture to the wall. Falling TVs and furniture send kids to the ER every year. Anchor kits are easy to install and available at all major hardware stores. There is a picture of an anchor kit.

If you bought a new TV for the Big Game, make sure you buy anchor kits too!

I agree with you. This is one of my favorites though now I like to keep in mind "emails" means "anything I tangibly send out into the universe."

No.

comic panel from Batman comic #219 in 1969 illustrates a fully cowled Batman robustly singing the chorus from "We Three Kings" indicated by large, colorful script, complete w/music notes, "We three Kings of Orient are Bearing Gifts we traverse afar..." along with five enthusiastic uniformed policemen.

Happy Epiphany to those who celebrate it today. Pic is from 1969 Batman comic #219.

Happy New Year!
