PO hits the MSM in the comix today. At this time (8:30 CDT) today's comic wasn't on the website, but check out Opus in your Sunday paper. Regards, DIY

This what you mean? Electric-squid oil hybrid Vespa.

That was it, exactly. Last week's strip had a suburbanite euthanizing her SUV and this week it's some vaguely Arabic-looking characters with a big oil drum.

Granted, Breathed's strips are more about lefty politics than energy, but the squid oil Vespa just grabbed my attention.

Also in the paper, did anyone notice that Parade has an online poll/question regarding raising taxes on gasoline?

What is the link to the poll ?

Adding a hundred or so pro-tax votes might be a small drop.

The gas tax poll was running about 74% against last I checked. Incidentally, Bill Frist is being replaced in next election; hopefully by a more environmentally friendly politico.

Just voted (in keeping with how westexas might vote, just to be clear).

As of now, the tally is 708 responses. 30% for the tax, 69% against. C'mon, people, we can do better than that. Vote!

Wow I didn't know he (Berkley Brethed?) was still alive. My son currently enjoys his comics (although doesn't get some of them)with Bill the Cat, Opus running for Pres., et al...
Right on.

He took an eight year vacation after stepping on a lot of rather sensitive toes back in the '90s. I always loved the way he did that... I don't remember when he first reappeared in the Austin paper, but think it was 2 or 3 years ago.

I was at UT when he wrote (drew ?) for the Daily Texan.  MUCH funnier then !

Campus newspaper, young & wild !

BITING satire !

(Yes, Robert, I noted that you went to the 2nd best engineering (or 3rd after Rice) school in Texas located in that dreary village).
