The light bulb joke is mine, if a bit short and obvious. The other one I found at McSweeney’s, and was too good to pass up.

I think we can all agree that this was the result of my desperate trawling through the Evernote ideas file for a punchline around which to build a comic rather than any sort of comedic genius stroke of inspiration, yes…?

I don’t have a political statement to make, I’m just amused, that’s all.

One of the few Garfield comic strips I still find funny (in my own weird way) reads, “Labor Day, Labor Day, what a dumb day. Hire some jerk, then send him away. To celebrate work by playing all day.”

Not that I mind having a three-day weekend, of course. I’m not completely insane.
