Other toon-intensive topics for this week include the overturn of most of Arizona's anti-immigrant laws and the mutual contempt of Rep. Darrel Issa and the Justice Department.
Today's toons were selected by the Supreme Court Justice you'd least expect (leaving you to wonder what he's really up to), from the week's pages at McClatchyDC.com, Slate, Time, About.com, and Daryl Cagle:

Mark Fiore brings us the latest from Suzie Newsykins, who's got a summer job promoting democracy and free speech!
It couldn't happen in Oregon! The Houston TX City Council has slapped a $5 per guest “pole tax” on strip clubs. Taiwan's Next Media Animation has the very cool story. Frankly, I'm not sure I'd have guessed that Houston had it in them.
Congrats to p3 faves Keith Knight and Matt Bors for joining five of their colleagues on an archival induction into the Library of Congress!
Tom Tomorrow raises the awkward question of how Republicans survive from one generation to the next.
Yes! After far, far, too long, Keith Knight brings us the latest edition of Life's little victories.

Red Meat's Mister Wally and Ted Johnson explore an ugly, ugly truth about aging.
The Comics Curmudgeon imagines -- and we at p3 support him -- historical averages holding for “The Wizard of Id.”
The beginning of the end: Wimpy fans, pay attention. “Spree Lunch,” directed by Izzy Sparber in 1957, is the final theatrical-film appearance of Bluto and Wimpy. They resurfaced a couple of years later in the dreadful limited-animation made-for-television cartoons produced by Hal Brodax, by which time Bluto was inexplicably renamed Brutus. Story credit for “Spree Lunch” goes to Jack Mercer, who was also Popeye's voice.
