Hello friends,

I’ve spent way too much time scrolling through various newsfeeds trying to make sense of the world. Just when I think nothing worse could happen, it does.

When so much is so serious, it’s time to take a mental break. I’m an obsessive collector of words, books, photographs, and cartoons.

Tucked away in a drawer, I have a folder of comic strips I’ve saved over the years. Many have yellowed, but I keep them because they make me laugh.

Since I respectfully honor all copyrights, I couldn’t share my favorite Peanuts or Calvin and Hobbes. My online search led me to a few I can share.

For your laughing pleasure, I found these gems.

The data nerd in me has grown weary of the polls.

Moose Lake Cartoon Cartoon with two frames with a coupe watching the news on a tv. 1. 41% of those polled felt present polls are more accurate than past polls, 32% believed future polls may be affexted by current polls, 2. 24% feel errors in ast polls may affect future polls and 19% wish polls would focus on more happy news!

I’m still wishing for a little rain to squelch the heat.

Krazy Kat comic strip: 1. ? sees clouds. 2. Looks like rain. Does it? 3. Sure it does silly. Izzatso? 4. Don;t all those clouds look like rain to you? No. 5. They just look like clouds to me. 6. (Rain comes down with images of pitchforks) Get him pitch forx.

My all time favorite, Nancy…

Need more cartoons to balance the nightly news?

And always, a song . . . The Charlie Brown Theme.

Laugh as much as possible, always laugh. It's the sweetest thing one can do for oneself and one's fellow human beings. —Maya Angelou

Find a little wonder this week wherever you find yourself.
