Sorry but I am still mad at him for leaving a huge hole in my life. He just pitched us to the curb like yesterdays trash.

Having experienced "burn out" I fully understand. Had he kept slogging away, would it have been quality work? Probably not. Now he is fresh and back. I am enjoying it.

So I'm sure he felt he had to be back in action before this weekend, when perhaps there's finally a worthwhile candidate starting off primary season with the Iowa caucuses instead of him having to run Bill and Opus then...

And there really was a Charmin' Jeff Harmon that worked at a local radio station named KRNA in Iowa City in the old days too...

Occasionally he doesn't post.

Some days he posts "classics". It's fun to see some old ones that I may have forgotten.

that's for sure. The great ones never do.

Now if only Watterson would bring back Calvin and Hobbes, even for a few months.
