You may be interested to know that one of the “morons” who doesn’t buy the scientific case for global warming is Dr. Ivar Giaever, who shared the 1973 Nobel Prize in Physics. Dr. Giaever recently resigned from the American Physical Society in protest over the Society’s adoption of a policy statement which states: "The evidence is incontrovertible: global warming is occurring."

I've said it before and just have to say it again. You are the best! Today's honest man comic speaks for us. Thank you!

Once again, Jeff blames everyone but himself for his own mistakes. First he chews out Zipper for leaving him behind in Bezerkistan (even though he was the one who invited Zip to come along in the first place) and now this. I wonder if his book deal is off...

Isn't it sweet that Jeff thinks it's just about ten dollars. How can he and Becca get together now?

It seems Becca's "mistake" was just a plan to use a straw man to sell the book, and strong-arm him to get half. She never figured that Jeff would be dumb enough to sell it for just $10.

A journalist is someone who practices journalism. The definition isn't dependent on whether somebody pays him/her for it. I speak for the many reporters (note: not ex-reporters) who are in Rick's position through no fault of our own. Like Rick, we are still chugging along, trying to do good journalism in spite of our newly impoverished status.

Poor Rick. He still thinks he's a journalist. Rick, old friend, the industry threw you away. You are the equivalent of a failed state.

I love this storyline. The level of satire and social commentary is reaching new heights. The characters are so real, and yet the tone is so good-humored. Way to get your points across, Mr. Trudeau! I can hardly wait until morning for the best minute on the web.

Wait. So Dad's problem is that junior didn't give the embargoed book to him? What's more Boomer stupid -- that he wanted it, or that he failed to engender that kind of loyalty in his son? Yeesh!

I'm not feeling the love for Becca Bickle. To me, she's a substanceless incompetent. For those of you chiding Jeff for selling the book for $10, remember it was Becca who mistakenly gave it to him in the first place. As to her being substanceless , when she is interviewing Trff, she wants him to write a trifling feel-good story of redemption that would have precisely no meat to it. When Trff utters perhaps his only substantive line ever in the strip (August 20, panel three) -- an abhorrent line, but definitely substantive -- Becca blows him off with a terse, "We'll be in touch." So, when he was acting like a sexual predator he was just a silly with a story of redemption, but when he spoke the truth of his view on his own story, he was no longer of interest. Sounds a lot to me like Becca wants fluff instead of substance.

Isn't GBT guilty of the same thing that Roland is here? This is getting too 'meta' for me.

Appealing though the hell-hath-no-fury image of Becca may be, why doesn't she send a lawyer?

Glad you posted "Reg Kehoe and His Marimba Queens" as today's video. On YouTube someone commented, "I'll have whatever the bass player was having."

Boy, let Becca eat up Roland quick. Please! Living in Italy I just can't wait to see a mass-media prima donna being handed a righteous spanking.

Becca! Best new character in two decades. Love her!

I hope Fox News has been watching. Roland's spin is a riot, great humor!

If it costs you every fan in the US and every newspaper client, please oh please remain true to your Muse. Draw what you see fit to draw. Caption what you see fit to caption. Anything less, and the terrorists win. I actually liked Sarah Palin from the minute McCain introduced her at the convention until the minute I realized that the GOP would never have allowed her nomination unless they were up against the first viable black candidate. Since the thunder-theft role is long gone, so is any credibility she may have once been permitted to presume. I just hope the book lives up to your hype. Oh, and B.D. sure has grown.

The public editor at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution offered an op-ed on why the Palin strips were dropped from the AJC. You can read it here.

My money's on Becca in any smackdown with that tweet-twit Roland.
