No 'Cathy' retirement bump for 'Cul de Sac'?
I've been reading a lot of articles about papers replacing Cathy, and what they're choosing and haven't seen anyone add Cul de Sac yet. Does anyone know of a paper that's added it?
Stone Soup seems to have picked up a few. Rhymes with Orange, Red and Rover, Tundra, Arlo and Janis, nothing, and the new Dogs of C-Kennel are some replacements I've seen.

The end of 'Cathy' comes Sunday
Cathy Guisewite is ending her strip 'Cathy' on Sunday and there's been some newspaper articles wondering how it'll end. Here's how I think it will NOT end:
With Cathy having shed 20 pounds and gotten a full-body wax for a flourishing career as a swimsuit model;
With Cathy and Irving putting their son in a rocket and sending him from their doomed planet;
With Cathy and Irving waving goodbye to their children as the train leaves for Hogwarts;
With Cathy having died to save the universe from the Anti-Monitor;
With Cathy and Irving riding a sled through the woods;
With Cathy gunned down on a city street after seeing a Zorro movie while her young son watches in horror;
With Cathy frozen in a block of carbonite;
With Cathy elected as the first female President of the US;
With Cathy drowning while saving a young child from a swollen stream;
With Cathy and Irving walking off, saying "This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship";
With protests throughout the Muslim world.

Minor bits by Arlingtonians in new books
Richard Thompson has a 1-page cartoon introduction to the new Barney Google book from Craig Yoe.
Meanwhile I'm thanked in Daniel Clowes: Conversations (Conversations With Comics Artists Series) by Ken Parille (Editor) and Isaac Cates (Editor), for suggesting to Isaac that he do a Conversations book. The book was already finished when I interviewed Clowes, so print out “Likable Characters Are for Weak-Minded Narcissists”: A Chat with Daniel Clowes" and glue it in the back of the book. In the book trade, they call that 'tipping-in' and I'll autograph it for you to increase the value.

That darn Toles! (continued)
Witches are your neighbors and acquaintances
Washington Post Saturday, September 25, 2010; A11
What is a witch? The Tea Party's Senate candidate in Delaware, Christine O'Donnell, said that she dabbled in witchcraft. Post columnist Richard Cohen ["Republicans, bewitched," op-ed, Sept. 21] and cartoonist Tom Toles [Sept. 21] commented on it. I wonder if either knows what a witch is? Is it the Hollywood version from "Snow White" or "The Wizard of Oz?" If not, then what?
A witch could be standing in line behind you at the checkout counter or sitting next to you on the Metro. And he or she probably does not cackle or have a wart on her nose or carry a broom. There are several thousand of them in America. They are hard to tell from Episcopalians or anyone else.
If The Post is going to write about them, perhaps you should invite one or two to talk to your staff to provide some background and answer questions.

Coming Monday - a big Ted Rall interview
I interviewed Ted Rall last night for the Washington City Paper, about his new book, An Anti-American Manifesto. The interview should run at the City Paper on Monday morning and you can read Ted's statements like, "I would say that I'm an idealist, and anyone who's not an idealist is a bad citizen."
Then you can go to Busboys and Poets on 14th and V St, NW at 6:30 pm (September 27th) and debate him. Fun for all!
