Friday Linkage

Back in...oh early Summer, Dad sold a silo and there's a crew finally taking it down. UPDATE Tues 26th: It's down now, all that's left is a not-very-photogenic 15-foot high pile of rotting silage that was left in the bottom.
I'm in a bit of shock today, I happened to glance at Garfield in the newspaper yesterday and get this--Jon and Liz are dating! The bottom has dropped out of my reality.
Oh by the way, the rest of that blog is awesome. See this analysis of a Sunday strip:
The strip plays on the dynamic that Garfield will shamelessly steal Jon's food, and that Jon is so used to defeat in all things that he gives up without a fight. It also sets up an endless loop; these three have been through the scenario so many times, it's hardly about getting to enjoy the candy anymore. Nobody ever will; it's a Milk Chocolate Maltese Falcon. The power isn't with you because you have the material goods, and it's not in the McGuffin itself. It's in knowing you can wrest the chocolate from Jon at any time.
For another cartoon/illustration-related link, here's a collection of The Advertising Artwork of Dr. Seuss.
And one more, this one's not entertaining at all, a Nazi anti-Semetic children's book.
