Is the "Love Your Coast" something written on barrels for recycled bottles? I've never seen that. I saw for the first time Sunday, in Seattle, a barrel labeled 'Landfill" next to one marked "Recycle". So the Pied Piper of Recycle entices bottles to jump into the recycle barrel, I guess I got it. --Andy-- PS: I first tried unsuccessfully to send this to comicsidontunderstand (atsign) gmail.com. http://www.arcamax.com/thefunnies/arcticcircle/s-903330

We love it. Or I should say we did. Now, it may be because we are getting up there in our years, but the last few weeks in the Chicago Sun Times, we just don't get practically every strip now. They make no sense to us. At all. It's almost like there is a new cartoonist who took over the strip -- even the artwork looks different. Is that in fact the case? We hope this is temporary and the Arlo & Janis of old retruns. Thank you for giving us so many years of enjoyment.

Either the speaker is having the mother of all hallucinations, "OK, I'm having the mother of all hallucinations.", which is likely, or two of the individuals are having the mother of all hallucinations, not just one.

It did take a second look before I realized that the family was made up of Robertson screwdrivers. In Canada, square drive screws are referred to as Robertson Screws and they have been in common use there since after WWII. Their usage in the US has never really caught on.

Is the name of the comic and the date enough, do you want a link to the comic's page, an attached image, or what? In this FAQ, you should explain HOW people can send CIDU and Arlo’s etc to you.

I withdrew my sacred trust in cartoonists when Tom Batiuk decided it was his mission to inflict his personal sense of soul-crushing despair upon his readers. “…these cartoonists are taking the sacred trust we Americans lay at their feet…”

Just in my local paper, 'Family Circus', 'Garfield', 'Dilbert' (as a carry over story), 'Blondie', 'Pooch Cafe' (as a carry over story), 'Snuffy Smith', 'Hagar' and 'Hi and Lois' were all about volunteering... The current storyline of 'Non Sequitur' could somewhat fall into the making a difference category as well. “Make a Difference Day” was Oct 24th, so what was up with all the comic strips about volunteering on Oct 23rd?
