At left is a piece by the late Gahan Wilson, whose work, which he produced for more than half a century, could be called morbidly funny.

I actually don’t think there will come a day when the world suddenly realizes that the world’s physicists were right and the climate deniers were wrong. The Earth is not going to self-ignite and burn like a marshmallow that’s fallen into a campfire.

As our planet slowly heats up, the incidence and severity of wildfires, hurricanes, droughts, heat-related deaths, and so forth will increase corresponding.

It’s probable that, long after I’ve left this planet, there will still be the Donald Trumps of the world who have no regard for truth, who are doing their best to convince the planet’s morons that the Earth is actually cooling and that our scientists are woke communists.

Brilliant Cartoonist Gahan Wilson Should Be Remembered Forever

When you or I read what Joe Biden said last night (see left), we tend to think: “Of course. Our democracy is indeed in danger, and we need to fight to keep it from being usurped by Trump and his supporters.”

Unfortunately, when Trumpers read this, they have a very different reaction: “There they go again.  Those radical woke leftist extremists trying to make less of the work that the President has done in bringing down prices, and making America respected again by the rest of the world.”

I’ve had more productive conversations with my dogs.

Talking to a Brick Wall

Most Americans have their own take on the geography of the South.  For me, it’s not completely geographic; it’s partly sociographic.  For example, Northern Virginia is about as cosmopolitan a place as you’re going to find in the United States, but it’s at the same latitude as West Virginia, which ranks 45th out of the 50 states in education.
