Greetings to our blog readers in Switzerland, Sweden and Turkey........
Today, we once again rank our ten favorite comic strips from the Sunday edition of "The Washington Post," which carries 40 comic strips, including some that rarely make the cut, ie. "Hagar the Horrible," which was brilliant 40 years ago..........oh well.........
Since, there squids in both "Lio," which came in first, and "Brewster Rockit: Space Guy," which came in third, we thought we'd start off with an image of an animal that you can eat in most Greek restaurants. The late Soupy Sales is the image in our middle slot as "Rhymes with Orange," the second place strip had a pie-in-the-face gag which Sales was famous for, but the strip actually has clowns as the subject of its joke.
Finally, a map of the United States marking where Kansas is will be used for our final image as the always hip Garry Trudeau nailed Gov. Sam Brownback (R) in a financial fiasco which messed up the lives of countless educators and school students across 'The Land of Oz.' According to our iPhone, Topeka, Kansas, and Washington, D.C., are almost exactly 1,000 miles from each other. Brownback was also a Republican member of the U.S. Senate.
Here is our top ten:
1. Lio
2. Rhymes with Orange
3. Brewster Rockit
4. Doonesbury
5. Pearls Before Swine
6. WuMo
7. Speed Bump
8. Knight Life
9. Prickly City
10. Sherman's Lagoon

7 Words in Turkish (7 of 7): The Word for Shrimp
Greetings to our blog visitors from Albania, Bahrain and Chile.
Though we have been busy binge watching "Breaking Bad,"AMC's surreal dark drama which is concluding in a few weeks, via Netflix, we did make time for this entry....(I sense the show has helped New Mexico's tourism industry, even though it is about meth dealers).
So, the Turkish word for shrimp is karides.
Shrimp and grits is a popular dish in Charleston, SC, which is arguably the cuisine capital of the South.
For the word for shrimp in Norwegian, go to our 7 Words in Norwegian series on our sister blog:
