The fact that they were having trouble with Outlook on the moon vehicle raises a very troubling follow-up: wait, are they running Teams up there?

I think I’m glad that the number of then-extant production unknowns when I started TKB meant that I couldn’t really do this sort of calculation

I can't believe the "New Yorker" REJECTED this cartoon!

Happy Birthday Toshiro Mifune! Your movies got me through lockdown and I drew you a LOT

Today's the day.
