    Lol lol lol.

    I do have just one little nit to pick… the sign should read “Hyperbole is Going to Kill Us All,” not “Hyberbole.”

      Hyberbole – oh, ow. I missed that.

      Hate it when a poster (or cartoon) has tyops. “Ewe hadd won jawb…!”

      Not like you can just go in and do a quick text edit. It’s already all over the web by the time you catch it. Although, that cartoon is syndicated so it should have editors.

      Hahaha. Remember editors?

      This is why cartoonists need to hire English majors (there are plenty of unemployed ones lurking about) to proofread their cartoons before they send them in.

    Another outstanding series, BoB. Much needed grins on a drab, chilly morning.

    D’ya s’pose for the Thesaurus comic, the artist actually used a thesaurus?

      When I was in college, I worked part-time as an English professor’s assistant, and part of my job was to go through all his students’ essays and correct their spelling, punctuation, grammar, etc. Some of their wanton butchering of the English language was enough to make me rethink my opposition to the death penalty.

    I am wondering why the cartoonist put a typo in the ‘hyperbole’.
    Enjoyed all of them greatly except that I must admit I don’t ‘get’ the ‘rlt down with capitalism’ one.
