Bud Grace draws this comic strip. I’ve considered him a genius for years. The current theme of Ernie’s evil nephew Spencer tormenting his dad into buying him a weasel for a pet is fantastic laugh medicine — in this frame, Spencer is in the “weasel store. ” Just the way Bud draws the weasel cracks me up!
The strip is always like this. An earlier story line about a family of Mongolian throat singers living inside a giant pumpkin that Ernie had grown in his backyard garden was explosively funny for days.
My wife doesn’t read Piranha Club, nor did she read it back when it was called Ernie. I can’t for the life of me understand why, but I can make her laugh, regardless.

I forgot to mention… McCain supporters are MEAN this year! My Obama/Biden sign has been stolen twice, the second time really requiring work because I’d given it a hardboard core and screwed it to the fence. My sign, house and car have been paint-balled.
And I suppose you read about that crazy woman at TX A&M!
I’ve decided to blame them (with absolutely NO evidence) for trying to burn down the Ranchos Post Office. Trying to stop VoteByMail? Trying to bring terrorism home to Taos?

Woops! The above comment was supposed to be attached to your “Voted!” entry.
Sorry about that!

I’ve seen your Obama sign and applauded! But I’m stunned you’ve been paint-balled… there are so many Obama signs in this neighborhood, and I haven’t seen a single McCain sign.
The post office fire thing really sucks. I went down to the annex this morning to get our mail, but it turns out that it will be delivered. Apparently only P.O. box holders have to pick up their mail at the annex.
