#182 In which we let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel

Despite all that’s going on in the world, or perhaps because of it, ConstiToonies is going on hiatus for a couple of weeks. The offices will be going dim, and nobody will be scouring the news to find the entertaining little tidbits of how we’re blithely going to hell in a hand basket. We’ll miss things like Trump calling out David Letterman (whose ratings, the man of wealth and taste points out, were never very good and who looks like hell) as a highly overrated LOSER!!! in all caps and three exclamation points. Poor Letterman, just sitting around minding his own business, growing his beard and enjoying his partial retirement, and all of a sudden he gets attacked from the grammar school playground (AKA the White House) with all sorts of infantile name calling. And then there’s Trump wishing the press corps on Air Force One a safe flight, but then pointing out that he says it only because he’s on the flight with them. "Otherwise I wouldn't care." Yeah, he really said that. He also came on to the Princess of Wales last week: "You're beautiful, so beautiful," at which point the Prince of Wales could only wonder what Uncle Andrew was up to. And our favorite recent news story of all: Google is blocking AI mode searches for Trump + Dementia. Are there that many people who actually need to ask AI if Trump is fruitier than a nutcake?

We’ll see you in mid-October.
