DBD: Conservative "Repackaging"?

Grand Junction blogger Gene Kinsey has linked a couple of comics to the sidebar of his blog. One is the popular and on-the-mark funny Dilbert. The other is Day By Day, which has been published online since 2002.

'DBD' appears to be the chronicle of the lives of several urban professionals, most of whom have a decidedly conservative point of view. I spent about half an hour flipping through the strip's archives, and it seems that DBD's creator, Chris Muir, has a pretty good bead on the conservative talking points of the day.

I'm suspecting that Gene Kinsey did have this strip in mind when he wrote yesterday that "Happiness is being old, male, and Republican". Gene, you old horn dog, you...

Oh, by the way, just click on the 'strips' above if you want a larger version.

I would love to have a comic widget or two, but there is no such animal yet for some of my favorites, Luann and Doonesbury among others. I'll keep an eye out.

In the meantime, enjoy the rest of your week.
