Kate Beaton–one of my favorites! Unlike Ben’s editor shown above, she doesn’t worry if her readers don’t always get it…and I think that’s the best attitude for an artist. [Otherwise, we wouldn’t need CIDU.] Thank you for this, and good luck in NY, Kate!

Vermont was not one of the original 13 states but kept its independence for a while. I thought everyone knew that.

Now that Powers has pointed it out, I realize I was tacitly making the same mistake — maybe because VA for Virginia is so firmly fixed in our minds that we look for another state for the V. (This doesn’t explain why we don’t also reject Vermont as quickly.)

Thus, proving your point there, Powers? hehehe

And when I say “Vermont”, of course I mean “Virginia.” Oi.

I’m surprised the Editor didn’t try to expand those captions on each individual piece of a snake. Readers might not know that “V.” means “Vermont”, after all.

Really good choice to appear here!

There have been a few posts recently mentioning comics the posters were made aware of thru CIDU — and I’d like to join in the chorus and thank the CIDU community for showing me “Hark A Vagrant” and much else — recently I’ve been enjoying “Get Fuzzy” quite a lot, and recall complaining about the drawing style on here and some posters encouraging me to stick with it: glad I took your point and did!

@paperboy I wonder how much of the “Texas Oil Money”is from Texas. How much from London, Amserdam, Moscow, Zurich, Caracas, New York
and Riyadh ?

I could be wrong, but it seems the person adding stuff didn’t understand the message to begin with so he’s not over explaining it he’s wrongly explaining it.

Tom Meyer has a cartoon yesterday with a giant octopus with a cowboy hat and gas-pump nozzles on the ends of its tentacles, and he still feels he needs to label it “Texas Oil $”
