Stephan Pastis on politics:

Pastis, Pearls, Sept. 16, 2016.

Amazing. In four short cartoon panels Pastis accurately sums up all of American politics. Unlike a politician, a couch is good for something.

**Totally unrelated note: I have a new, firmer mattress that has eased my back pain away and lessened my need for sleep. I usually get up early. Today! Today, I was wide awake at … 2 AM… I scanned the news of the world for the very best for you. The very best is a cartoon. Life imitates mattresses.
