I don’t have an iPhone, or an iPad. My phone is monochrome and my laptop is 11 years old. Even the iMac I’m writing this on is becoming antique at the age of six, but my syndicate, King Features, is getting up to speed and has made the comics accessible for those lucky folks who do have those gadgets.

Keeping Chickens Cartoon Series

Keeping chickens is all the rage in urban gardens. It was recently approved in New York City and I guess that’s fine, provided people don’t keep roosters and everything is well-fenced. We lived next to a woman with chickens in New Zealand and the roosters would get us up waaaaaay before dawn, plus the chickens came into our garden and pecked through our veggies like feathered monsters.

As news reports that humans are driving species to extinction faster than ever, but GM discontinues the Hummer, this old Arctic Circle cartoon seemed worth a rerun:
