We don’t have enough children, our birth rate is too low. Yet allowing young immigrants to come in? Terrible idea for some reason.

Maybe I’m explaining the joke, but Jon is supposed to be an Everyman.

I’m a huge long-term fan of the Garfield comics. Lyman basically ditches Jon with Odie. It’s never explained in detail because it’s a 3 frame comic. More optimistically, and “cannon” Jon was enthusiastic about inheriting Odie while Lymon left for unexplained reasons. Jon thought owning a dog would help him meet women.

As for the quote you referenced. Garfield has thought bubbles. Jon talks. Lyman exists because he can talk while Garfield can only “think”. Jim Davis originally thought it would be confusing to have thought clouds and talk bubbles interacting. Like how does a cat talk with a person? But that quickly became the norm in the comic. Once talking and thinking could interact, Lyman no longer needed to exist.

Rare appearance of Jon’s friend Lyman, who doesn’t appear in hardly anything after 1980.

Prior to Trump it was mostly fringe candidates like Storm Thurmund (1948), George Wallace (1968), David Duke (1988, 1992), Pat Buchanan (1992, 1996).

In terms of major candidates, there are some questionable endorsements for candidates like Nixon and Reagan. But you have to go all the way back to Woodrow Wilson to find a president who was openly happy about receiving those endorsements.

Who’s making you use it?

It’s useful for lots of things, but it requires a proof reader.

Reminds me of Futurama, “we all have commercials in our dreams” scene.

Leela: Didn’t you have ad’s in the 20th century?

Fry: Well sure, but not in our dreams. Only on TV and radio. And in magazines. And movies. And at ball games and on buses and milk cartons and t-shirts and written on the sky. But not in dreams. No siree!

Those work with the Sabre Pyramid.
