Comic Strip of the Day provides excellent analysis of the better examples of funnypaperdom and sometimes webcomickery. (For the worse examples, there's The Comics Curmudgeon) But Sunday's feature is special, as blogger Mike Peterson spotlights Cul De Sac for Alice Otterloop's first encounter with Alice in Wonderland (while also addressing Prince Valiant, Maus and Fred Basset).

When American Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney wanted to stand up on a chair to address the people at an Iowa campaign stop, one of his aides held the chair to prevent an embarrassing fall, while trying to stay off-camera.

The researchers are saying the Cherokees never built these ruins, which date to around the year 800.
