10 for 10 (3rd Entry): Elephants.........

Greetings to our blog readers in Taiwan, Ghana, and the Czech Republic......

Just because we are featuring the images of elephants, the traditional symbol of America's Republican Party does NOT mean we are endorsing Ted Cruz, Donald Trump, Donald Trump again, Jeb Bush, Jim Gilmore, George Pataki, Chris Christie, Scott Walker, Mike Huckabee........well, you get the idea (excuse the political humor, it should be pointed we didn't go with Carly because we did not want to spell her name incorrectly)......

There are many zoos here in America and around the world where one can discover his or her inner child and perhaps see a live elephant, here are four links you can check out:

Our Favorite Comic Strips from the Sunday, Feb. 1st "Washington Post:" Love WuMo's Pink Panther Strip

Greetings to our blog readers in Israel, Taiwan and Turkey..........

Welcome to another edition of "The Daily Vampire".......oh #$%&, that's our other blog!

We go back to Feb. 1st for our Sunday comic strips survey of comics in the Sunday "Washington Post," for this week's survey go to "The Daily Vampire:" http://www.nocturnalguy38.blogspot.com

For last week's comics, we really, really liked "Brewster Rockit: Space Guy," which featured a great gag about the title hero going back in time to fix up his mistake of not putting enough milk into his Captain Crunch cereal (pict. top).

"The Argyle Sweater" got third place for its look at non-endorsements by various cartoon characters, including skinny jeans by Fat Albert (voiced by Bill Cosby, we've been hearing his name a lot lately) and large bra by Olive Oyl, Popeye's love interest (pict. center).

The always hilarious Danish import "WuMo" came in fifth with a strip about the Pink Panther (pict. bottom)  taking it easy in the jungles of Tanzania as his fellow felines look on in wonder.

"Baldo," a Hispanic-centered comic strip which also appears in the "Miami Herald" features Baldo's dad listening in on what his son is listening to as he is doing homework. His dad makes a rude discovery (Bruno Mars, perhaps?!)......the strip came in eighth.

We also loved "Foxtrot," which finished fourth, as a father learns that when he son hears the word football, he thinks futbol, as in the type played by Lionel Messi and Wayne Rooney as opposed to the type played by Peyton Manning, on Super Bowl Sunday, no less....

Here is our  top ten:

1) Brewster Rockit: Space Guy

2) Lio

3) The Argyle Sweater

4) Foxtrot

5) WuMo

6) Speed Bump

7) Pearls Before Swine
