Here's what you missed if you were
having a life this week:
Frank Underwood and HillaryClinton seem
to be leading the pack for the Democratic nomination, especially
since Sanders can't catch a break from bigfoot media like the
Washington
Post. (Of course, two days
later there was a
counter-story to this. Draw your own conclusions. Mine is that
the Post is simply
unreliable.)
Violence is increasing at Trump
rallies; the short-fingered vulgarian professes to be mystified by
this, except for the part that the anti-Trump protesters had it
coming.
Hillary actually managed to to make
Nancy Reagan a sympathetic character. She may be leading in the polls
and the delegate counts, but I swear the woman has no real talent for
campaigning.
Does anyone remember Mitt Romney's
speech about the menace that is Donald Trump? That was last week.
The new story is that Jeb, Mario, Ted, and John have some bizarre
truce to divvy up the remaining primary and caucus states to keep
Trump from sweeping them. They really are admitting that they have no
way to beat the slo-mo exploding citrus by any conventional means.

long-awaited return of Dog Boy and Mister Dan as they discuss the
real meat of the 2016 GOP campaign.

not alone. Good luck with that.
Reuben Bolling celebrates
the
GOP's presumptive presidential 2016 nominee: Abby
Normal.
Red Meat presents God continuing
the grand
tradition of Divine Baps. Or Boops.
Or whatever.
Comic Strip of the Day surveys
the
view from the Barcalounger.
"Must be a relief to be on
relief" is one of the
dated throwaway lines in "Popeye
Meets Rip Van Winkle," directed
in 1941 by Dave Fleischer from a story by Dan Gordon, with Jack
Mercer (uncredited) voicing everybody. And there's a brief cameo by
Chico Marx, for those who like that sort of thing. Rip Van Winkle's
sleeping theme is the old lullaby "Go to Sleep My Baby,"
and his sleepwalking theme is "Did You Ever See a Dream
Walking?" both favorite go-to songs of musical director Sammy
Timberg. There's a later, colorized version of this toon, but you
know how we feel about that here at p3,
so we're presenting it here in majestic monochrome.
The Moderately Sized, But Still With
Ambitions, Oregon Toon Block:
Ex-Oregonian Jack Ohman revisits
the overused
concept of "lanes" to the election.
Possibly Ex-Oregonian Jen Sorensen

Matt Bors pictures
the

Jesse Springer congratulates
Eugene for leaving the rest of Oregon in the dust – the slime? –
