  • I signed up for this list solely to tell Darin Bell how much I liked the "choking" series. For some reason it just cracked me up! Maybe it's the way Clyde is shown as this tiny person in the grip of a giant. Or the way he says, "They chokin' me!" And there's no backstory or context to it--just out of the blue.

    Plus it works on metaphorical levels... Who is really choking Clyde? Is the Giant a "they"? Why does he get no help from the system? And then the dig at Godzillary's TV spots, and her (possibly) offensive advice... Great stuff!

  • By the way, my friend's husband posted the TAX series on his door at CAL BAPTIST, where he is a professor. He often uses your strips as discussion springboards in his classes. He teaches legal ethics.

  • Oh, wow. Now I get it. These "choked" strips are all connected. I only disagree with you on one thing. I don't believe that Hillary and Bill actually share a bedroom. Or, that she wears a nightgown to sleep. I think she sleeps in her pants suits. LOL>
