So, if I remember how this works, by Tuesday I can drop the pretense that I'm summarizing what actually happens in the episode -- or even that I've bothered to listen to it all the way through -- and can instead just post a weird, kitchy video and call it a day. Right?Today's strip

Listener, was your patience sorely tested by two full weeks of thoughtful, relevant and interruption-free podcasts while host Christopher Winter was off in Australian Drug Jail? Well, finally, FINALLY, our long national nightmare is at an end.In today's episode, Chris and Jon discuss coffee, frozen custard, gin, and -- who knows? -- probably some other things too.Today's strip

Too bad Chris wasn't here today. I'm sure if he had he would have informed our poorly-read asses that Jon's misplaced poetry in panel three is lifted more or less directly from the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. Since he wasn't the closest thing I can offer is a clip from this episode of Rocky and Bullwinkle which is, doubtless, much better. R.I.P. June Foray, amirite? Endless thanks to Josh Gates for filling in Christopher Winter this week. If for some insane reason you still haven't checked out his art, #1 what the fuck is wrong with you and #2, here, go do it now. Seriously, there's some really cool stuff on there, and I'm not just talking about centaur penises.Today's strip

We conclude that Garfield is not best understood as the male sexual organ, or as a male reproductive organ, but instead as an enacted social construct that is both damaging and problematic for society and future generations. The conceptual Garfield presents significant problems for gender identity and reproductive identity within social and family dynamics, is exclusionary to disenfranchised communities based upon gender or reproductive identity, is an enduring source of abuse for Nermals and other gender-marginalized groups and individuals, is the universal performative source of rape, and is the conceptual driver behind much of climate change.Today's stripGet me off Your Fucking Email ListSkepticism and the perils of pay-to-play academic journals*Did I say MIT?
