2. K & R

Powerful stuff.

[dalton99a]

3. Perfect.

[greyl]

5. Other than "LET'S", yeah.

I wonder if he'll publish a corrected version.

[TwilightZone]

8. Yeah, that was a little surprising.

Extraneous apostrophes are everywhere, I guess. Resistance is futile.

[forgotmylogin]

14. Those look really high up above the text.

I wonder if someone who wasn't Luckovich thought they were doing a good job "correcting" the panel.

[TwilightZone]

17. I noticed that as well.

Very possible.

[greyl]

22. Hope is not lost, he fixed it!

25. LOL . . . I love that he fixed it.

I wonder how many messages he got yelling at him for it

[Susan Calvin]

28. Ah. Posted about this immediately because it bugs me so much.

I would love to know the story behind the appearance and disappearance.

[SoCalDem]

37. actually if it was a contraction of "let us", it was correct

awkward, but correct..

[Susan Calvin]

38. I hope he let us me off ? That makes no sense. nt

Not that that's not a first world problem. I just hate to see such powerful cartoons marred by those kinda sorta apostrophes. I'd still love to know the story behind their appearance and disappearance .

[SoCalDem]

39. You're right

I got wrapped up with the "let us" and forgot what he actually said .... Contractions in cartoons are usually wrong...oopsie on me..

[MyOwnPeace]

4. Sad, isn't it?

And to think that it would be even more extreme if it was a male of a minority group.

[stillcool]

6. can't argue with that.

31. !!!!!!!

How fucking sad, and how fucking true.

[BigmanPigman]

10. I remember Jerry Seinfeld telling a story about how he was driving

really fast and a cop pulled him over in LA. In his passenger seat was a friend who was a black man. His friend started to panic and Jerry was like, "What's the problem, chill. I'll just get a speeding ticket". That is what the reality is in the US these days, even in liberal LA.

[Scarsdale]

11. This is both sad and

disgusting at the same time. What a horrible reflection on this country.

[misanthrope]

12. Considering what I've seen all my life

and topped by the American public's willingness to give approve of an utterly despicable reprobate like Donald Trump as their iconic leader, then that "horrible reflection" fits.

[lunatica]

13. Ouch! Truth hurts.

I wonder why it took so long to find that video. I guess no one looked at it until now.

[iluvtennis]

16. Ditto.

[Wounded Bear]

15. K & R...for truth...nt

[Ferrets are Cool]

18. So fucking correct and so fucking wrong.

[Beartracks]

19. Link not working now. "Page does not exist"...

[greyl]

21. He deleted and published corrected version here:

23. Aha! Thanks.

29. I would love to know the story behind the sort of apostrophe and its disappearance. nt

[gademocrat7]

20. K&R

Sad but on point.

[Susan Calvin]

26. Grammar police here, I know it's trivial in the big picture.

But did Lukovich really say let us which is what let's is? What is that funny little thing that's kind of an apostrophe but kinda not? Was he hedging his bets? I know it's trivial in the big scheme of things but it is bugging me.

[spanone]

27. Luckovic is treasure

[greymattermom]

33. He's wonderful in person

a really funny, well spoken guy. I wish he would be on more tv shows.

[BobTheSubgenius]

30. More or less my example when I argue "white privilege" with someone.

If you can be confident of living through being stopped by the police, I'd call that "privilege." It shouldnn't be, but it is.

32. Kick

In memory of Sandra Bland.

35. +1, The thug cop slammed her head on the ground and she had epilepsy.

[MontanaMama]

36. And that same thug is on video

saying he would “light her up.”

[uponit7771]

34. Damn ... for real though
