Ms. Spouse's superpower was finding great places to stay. I don't even know how she found that charming house nestled in the middle of nowhere, on the banks of the Jemez River. but she did.
Most of my adult life was working on 4, to an occasional 6 hours of sleep…I hear you clucking Jeff. Retired these days, but the pattern has never changed… good dope might buy me 5…get some rest!
New Mexico has beautiful, isolated places that are so conducive for peaceful reflection. The state is truly a special place that respects individually and privacy.
I can see the Jemez Mountains from my house (east of ABQ). Relax, enjoy, eat at the Los Ojos saloon, find the Gillman Tunnels, soak in the springs and drive up to the Valle Caldera. There is a magic hike behind the cabin (often used as a movie set) right inside the entrance. Hope you see some elk.
MY lovely wife has an interesting superpower as well. In our 44+ years of marriage she has managed to never forget ANY restaurant's bathroom. It's a blessing AND a curse. We have a tie for worst crapper in Manhattan: The Nathan's in Times Square (RIP) and New Green Bo in Chinatown.
Fantastic job, Jeff....the only way I can stand to watch Mango Mussolini's meltdown is when it zips by like your list from Lying Social. Still, I have to stop it every once in awhile to say out loud, WTF??!!!
You had TMBG on the brain in your haze. "So, do let's"? heh... Cute take on Don't Let's Start.
Also, weird little factoid. While "When Will You Die?" can certainly be applied to the lyin' king, it is supposedly about the battery in the earpiece he uses during the concert. I guess it died mid-show more than once. That's why there's the part in the middle of that song where he is "introducing the battery" to the other band mates on the stage.
That said, it's very applicable to a lot of people. Their lyrics are almost always ambiguous and ambitious like that. Combine that with their unique musicianship and well, they've had a fan in me since the mid-80s.
I'll just leave this here. I know most of TMBG's stuff. I don't know all of it because there's a ton. But I've seen them probably a dozen times and I will again this fall. Their one mainstream hit was "Birdhouse In Your Soul". The chorus of the song is "Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch, who watches over you/Make a little birdhouse in your soul". They sell those blue canary nightlights. And I have one.
(Since I've been doing old TV show themes, I could threaten to redo that one. "Make a little worm house in your skull". But I don't think I want to desecrate them. It's also a lot of lyrics that are really well done and it would be rough going to jam a bunch of RFK Jr. things in there.)
Thanks to you I'm just discovering all of this, so thank you. Randy Rainbow is amazing at substituting his own lyrics in existing songs, mostly directed at the stupidities of the magat crew, but he's primarily into Show Tunes and has a terrific voice to boot. IF you haven't seen any of his videos yet (the earlier ones were all produced BY himself in his own small apartment) - do yourself a favour and watch a few. Brilliant work. Now he has his own touring show and is hailed by most as a creative genius.
I am so happy that you are in a special place chosen by your beloved Claudia. Katie’s art is wonderful! I love NM but haven’t stayed anywhere secluded, just Santa Fe and Taos. Wonderful drives to scenic historical sites and making art. Take care and indulge.
Taos is magical! Jeff, perhaps you all will make that a vacay destination sometime. The Fall offers art studio tours and, really, all 4 seasons are spectacular.
I'd been invited to visit NM by some older harmonica friends I met and interacted with on our own online group. Never found the time - and am now TRULY regretting it - hearing all these tributes from those who either live or visit this clearly magical place.
Back in the late 60s I taught school in Santa Fe but we lived in a house on the edge of the Jemez reservation. It was a magical place! We had 50 miles of national forest (high mesas) as a back yard and I loved it so much! There was a large natural hot spring that wasn't commercialized at all about 5 miles up the road and we had to climb up to get to it. There were always people from hippies (us) to locals, etc. who went up there to soak. In the winter my hair would be ice cycles by the time we got back to the car. New Mexico is my second favorite state (I live in Alaska and it's my number one).
I love that part of New Mexico and I'm so glad you had a chance to visit there. So peaceful and refreshing of the soul. Katie's talent is amazing!! She needs to put out a comic strip if she doesn't already!
What a lovely gift she left you, Katie and her husband - at a perfect time to memorialize her life at a beautiful, tranquil place where you could 'see' her with you. Truly perfect, and it's clear that Katie has your sense of humour and intelligence along with so much from her Mom... her cartoons/captions are downright hilarious: 'Garage'! She's captured both you and her husband with such love. The 'gathering of friends' photo is also terrific. It's easy to see how well-loved you both are by your besties. I hope you are getting some well-deserved rest. I had ideas to run past you which I'm ALWAYS distracted from by seeing the daily Claudia. That's a good thing. Tomorrow's another day.
And clearly Little Miss Ivanka Lookalike wrote that tweet because he would have no idea how to spell obfuscation and doesnt know what it means.
Katie is one talented gal! The cartoons are excellent! And the photos made my heart soar! Such beautiful memories. Get the rest you deserve. Thanks for being there for us!
A roach I just sprayed said “ I hate getting sprayed w/insecticide but at least you didn’t compare me to ersatz Ivanka”. I bet Natalie is one of the few of his minions that doesn’t call him “Mr. Trump” but “daddy”.
I like that Jeff called Natalie Harp a creepy stalker. WTF is wrong with her that she'd want to hang out with a smelly, ugly, decrepit old man. Doesn't she have a life of her own? Donnie's creepy stalker lives with him and Melania must be happy because she doesn't have to.
Natalie Harp. At least I think her eyes are too close together....Kash has eyes that seem to go off in two different directions...lazy eye though I read it might be a thyroid condition.
Where he (she, Natalie) placed obfuscation and the parentheses doesn't make sense to me, as well as why he (she) referenced the judge's wife. WTF, unless it's an attempt at verisimilitude, to imitate his rambling dementia.
Verisimilitude. Damnit Doc there you go again trying to “learn” me. (Just kidding — I like your words. You have good words. Sir “with tears in my eyes” you have maybe the best words ever spoken!
I *love Jemez Springs- attended a weekend workshop there a million years ago- and Katie’s comics are incredible!! I wonder if the authoritarian “rally” was his hope all along and if he’ll find a way to bilk billionaires/ charge supporters to attend it- or will he have to pay them to have bodies there. A cartoon of what taxpayers’ bucks actually support would be gobsmacking.
I've posited (late last night) that the other crazier (than a shithouse rat) :) Steven Cheung could be the one coming up with the nuttiest, maddest, off-the-wall loony-toons stuff. Now, today - I can see a difference in some of them. What IF these two whack-a-loons take turns? She's on during the day and Cheung taking the night shift (or vice-versa, depending on scheduling)? SOMETHING is assuredly awry since rotting-donny doesn't come up with this bullshit crapola by himself with that non-functioning decrepit brain of his. They could be tag-teaming this shit-fuckery? ONE of the stupidities which nearly slithered by caught my attention, though - about OUR Fort Knox. I've long believed that the snake has been dying to get his greedy hands on ALL of the gold in our Treasury. Fort Knox is where it's kept!
Yes, AND slavishly devoted to his orange piggy boss, who probably tosses him a tiny crumb here and there just to ensure his enduring loyalty. I didn’t know why I was so restless about those posts (most of which I barely glanced at since I find them so vile), but when it clicked into place it became an ‘of course’ kind of thing - a ‘why the fuck didn’t I see this before’? I’m still not letting goebbels/nosferatu off the hook, I’m sure he’s a participant with his squeaky raging too. In fact, there’s like a ‘team’ but NOW I think Cheung is THE ragingest (is that a word?) of all.
Heck, why the fuck not? LOL, I appreciate that! The orange piggy comes up with uber-stOOpid words all the time, then imagines that he's the inventor of real ones, so why can't we do the same? IN fact, we should create an entire language just to describe him. Tell him it's 'in homage for his birthday' but not clue him in about their 'oranges'. (Remember that one?) :)
Funny how one day they're the greatest acts on earth, fantastic entertainers who can't wait to come celebrate the nation's big 250th anniversary - and then, as soon as they realize that this event will be pure Trump-stroking propaganda and pull out of it, they're 3rd-rate money-grubbing has-beens who no one even remembers. That's Donald Turn-on-a-dime Trump for ya.
For sure! I’m just so exhausted from all his BS name calling, talking like a petulant sophomoric POS believing he’s the GOAT. More like an ASS. If only he’d STFU and leave us all in peace.
Yes. Natalie posted her usual shit by pretending to be the corpse of seditionist/Convicted Felon/pedo trunt. As posted by another poster…trunt =any cunt who voted for trump
also, I just visited Mt Rushmore. no need for anyone to worry that Donny's face will end up there, for two reasons: 1) the rock will not support another face; they had to blast Jefferson's half-completed face off the left side (and move it to the right) because the rock was too unstable; the mountain can't support any more faces. 2) it's the most stupid idea ever conceieved, and it would never be allowed to even start.
I appreciate the context -- but I wouldn't put it past him to try anyway and let the mountain face crumble. A day or two ago, I saw a clip on Insta that appears to be broken ground for that BS Trump arch, despite there being no authorization or appropriations for it and despite Burgum insisting there was no plan, barely even a proposal, just the day before in Congressional testimony .
In the same vein as demolishing the East Wing before the plans and necessary approvals were in place for the Epstein Dance Hall. He has zero impulse control.
Don't be so sure. I had never thought the East Wing would be demolished, or that he would slap his name on every fucking edifice possible, or that he would stamp his pig face on passports, currency, national park passes, etc.
“ it's the most stupid idea ever conceieved, and it would never be allowed to even start.” You think that is what would stop Donald? Look at how he’s assed up the east and the tinplate he’s covered the rest of the White House in. Oh The Kennedy center. I wouldn’t put anything past that asshole or his minions. If Mt. Rushmore collapsed he would say he meant to do it.
I appreciate people saying that the idea being stupid won't stop trump from trying. But seriously, go visit the place sometime and learn about the history of the monument. Getting those four presidents carved into the rock was an absolutely monumental task that took 14 years to complete with a functional government. If he tries, there will be monkey-wrenching galore, people chaining themselves to equipment, and all kinds of subterfuge to prevent that from happening; plus, it will easily be challenged in court.
It seems most of the American populace are complacent sheep who take whatever is shoved down their throats and learn to live with it and even convince themselves they like it. Billionaires are probably pinching themselves in disbelief at how easy their takeover is proceeding.
im similarly inclined re ai -- not sure about my kids, tho -- they will need to survive and even thrive for a long time -- where ill have my toe tag soon enough -- might not be such a good idea to blanket refuse to use ai in the workplace
Katie is really talented, Jeff! I enjoyed her cartoons very much. You might want to give her a platform for her creativity and consider including more of her work in your posts. Her caricature of you is pretty spot-on, too. Glad you had a family get-away, sounds like a lot of fun and love was shared.
Wow, creativity runs in your family! Didn't you say your daughter is an engineer? Clearly she uses both sides of her brain very well.
Meanwhile, in the realm of the absurd, I'm struggling to adaquately express my outrage, disgust and disbelief over Dear Leader Donald's rapid mental demise. I guess I need to consult a thesaurus for new adjectives! The postings from him in your missive for today are beyond the beyond. I guess about all I can say without imploding is, "What a SICK fuck!"
Ms. Spouse's superpower was finding great places to stay. I don't even know how she found that charming house nestled in the middle of nowhere, on the banks of the Jemez River. but she did.
Get some R & R, Jeff! There is a never-ending well of tRump’s imbecilities.
He writes better on four hours' sleep than I do on eight.
Most of my adult life was working on 4, to an occasional 6 hours of sleep…I hear you clucking Jeff. Retired these days, but the pattern has never changed… good dope might buy me 5…get some rest!
Agree with you , Stephen! Rest, Jeff! Pictures are wonderful. Thanks for sharing!!
New Mexico has beautiful, isolated places that are so conducive for peaceful reflection. The state is truly a special place that respects individually and privacy.
I can see the Jemez Mountains from my house (east of ABQ). Relax, enjoy, eat at the Los Ojos saloon, find the Gillman Tunnels, soak in the springs and drive up to the Valle Caldera. There is a magic hike behind the cabin (often used as a movie set) right inside the entrance. Hope you see some elk.
NM is my home state. Miss it terribly....I've been a "proud" Texan since 1986.
And watch out for snakes.
MY lovely wife has an interesting superpower as well. In our 44+ years of marriage she has managed to never forget ANY restaurant's bathroom. It's a blessing AND a curse. We have a tie for worst crapper in Manhattan: The Nathan's in Times Square (RIP) and New Green Bo in Chinatown.
And the BEST ladies room in Manhattan? The one in Bryant Park.
That thing's awesome.
And that wonderful female attendant is a fantastic person.
Mo go-to pisherria in Midtown.
MY go-to pisheria.
well, thats important! 😂😂😂
Fantastic job, Jeff....the only way I can stand to watch Mango Mussolini's meltdown is when it zips by like your list from Lying Social. Still, I have to stop it every once in awhile to say out loud, WTF??!!!
Katie's a real talent; loved her cartoons! 💙
Rest well...we're in for a bumpy ride! 😵💫
Pithy! That’s perfect! Katie is great! Pics are wonderful!
You had TMBG on the brain in your haze. "So, do let's"? heh... Cute take on Don't Let's Start.
Also, weird little factoid. While "When Will You Die?" can certainly be applied to the lyin' king, it is supposedly about the battery in the earpiece he uses during the concert.

SO glad you clued ME in - I had never heard of them OR the song so was a bit flummoxed.
I'll just leave this here. I know most of TMBG's stuff. I don't know all of it because there's a ton. But I've seen them probably a dozen times and I will again this fall.

Taos is magical! Jeff, perhaps you all will make that a vacay destination sometime. The Fall offers art studio tours and, really, all 4 seasons are spectacular.
Wish I'd known you were next door--I'd have waved! Belongs to my son, glad you got some rest and relaxation!
Such a small world!

She might already (do quick search for her name).
Good idea and I did that. Is she the Katie Tiedrich of Awkward Zombie? Jeff?
Hi, he's probably sleeping (hopefully) but yes it is!! She's super talented.
If you haven't already, see the comics on the 02-09-26 page (listed in Archive). :-)
Looks beautiful and I’m so glad you were able to spend time with your family.
Thank you for this beautiful Sunday post and sharing so much with us. So glad you got some well deserved time with loved ones in a magical place.
What a lovely gift she left you, Katie and her husband - at a perfect time to memorialize her life at a beautiful, tranquil place where you could 'see' her with you.

I need info on that house as I live near there!!!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful family with us.
Wow....when you've lost Matt Walsh! 😂
And clearly Little Miss Ivanka Lookalike wrote that tweet because he would have no idea how to spell obfuscation and doesnt know what it means.
Katie is one talented gal! The cartoons are excellent! And the photos made my heart soar! Such beautiful memories. Get the rest you deserve. Thanks for being there for us!
That Ivanka look-alike is crazier than a shithouse rat.
Careful there! You don't want to insult shithouse rats!
A roach I just sprayed said “ I hate getting sprayed w/insecticide but at least you didn’t compare me to ersatz Ivanka”. I bet Natalie is one of the few of his minions that doesn’t call him “Mr. Trump” but “daddy”.
I have learned a new word, too. Ersatz. Excellent! Thanks!
😆
And she must be nose blind
Nuttier than squirrel poop.
"Uh, Ivank--, I mean, Natalie, would you like to come sit on my lap and help me lie (with tears in her eyes) on my crappy app?"
Well said Sharon! 😂
I like that Jeff called Natalie Harp a creepy stalker. WTF is wrong with her that she'd want to hang out with a smelly, ugly, decrepit old man. Doesn't she have a life of her own? Donnie's creepy stalker lives with him and Melania must be happy because she doesn't have to.
Her eyes are too close together. That's a tell she's not quite right. 😂😂😂
Hence her tunnel vision
I got it now ‘that’s printer lady’ I think she serves the dear leader and she found her niche.
Susan, Excuse me but who are you talking about?
I can't be sure, but apparently KA$H ain't the only one with this particular problem
I see pics of dopey don jr. He has it.
Natalie Harp. At least I think her eyes are too close together....Kash has eyes that seem to go off in two different directions...lazy eye though I read it might be a thyroid condition.
Thought the exact same thing about "obfuscation."
Where he (she, Natalie) placed obfuscation and the parentheses doesn't make sense to me, as well as why he (she) referenced the judge's wife. WTF, unless it's an attempt at verisimilitude, to imitate his rambling dementia.
It's an oblique attempt to put a target on her back and intimidate the Judge, as he has done with other Judges.
Daily double points for using verisimilitude Doc!!
Could the obfuscation comment be because her last name doesn’t match her husband’s?
Who knows. He himself is Captain Obfuscation, so meandering and incoherent is his dissembling
That's my guess.
How very dare she not take her husband's name and make it easier for the MAGA loons to find her so they can threaten the judge through her?
Nothing T says or does makes sense.
Verisimilitude. Damnit Doc there you go again trying to “learn” me. (Just kidding — I like your words. You have good words. Sir “with tears in my eyes” you have maybe the best words ever spoken!
like no-one's ever heard before!
OMG - such a jolly time here in (at least in my case) Geezer English Class . . . I am gobsmacked!
Me too!
Me too!! Lol!
Yes, love the drawings and that's definitely a tune I can dance to!
I *love Jemez Springs- attended a weekend workshop there a million years ago- and Katie’s comics are incredible!! I wonder if the authoritarian “rally” was his hope all along and if he’ll find a way to bilk billionaires/ charge supporters to attend it- or will he have to pay them to have bodies there.

Remember how his birthday military parade went? Doubt they learned anything from that fiasco. Good!

ragingest is now a word! 👏👏👏👏👏
not many people know that!

LOL I see it now. the Trump Dictionary. The greatest, bestest words to use any time, all the time! 😂😂
He is also not savvy enough to say they "have the yips."
I agree. What a talent Katie is!
YES ‼️✅️
Her family must be so-o-o proud.
I feel the same Susan and couldn’t have said it better.
💙💙💙✌️
Question:
If a tree falls in the woods - and EVERYONE SEES rump cut it down, is it still Obama and /or Biden’s fault? (Asking for +330M ppl)…
- meme
⬆️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣‼️
(...yep, probably)
Doubting we will EVER be able to call out an emperor’s lack of clothes at this rate… :/
Maybe just his lack of big boy underwear.
YUCK!
if he ever stops wearing his Man Diapers and his keepers proceed to mop up the lumpy brown water whenever he steps away . . .
will his MAGA adherents pay big $$$ to baptize themselves and their children in these unholy waters?
LOL!!
It is actually that bad now isn’t it Sunny? You’re not even exaggerating.
Isn’t it a pity? Isn’t it a shame? I could use some George Harrison about now.
Someone posted ‘Billionaires are probably pinching themselves in disbelief over how easy their takeover is proceeding…’ :/ sad.
😂 Yes, it’s their fault if the person thinking this is a rape-ubliCon.
Love Katie’s art work. She has you down to a T(iedrich)
When you’ve lost the MAGA cult for your sad sideshow, you suck even worse than I thought.
Instead of that garbage for our 250th watch Heather Cox Richardson’s 250 for 250, here or on YouTube. It’s excellent.
⬆️🎯
Katie most definitely has her dad’s talent and the printing of an artist. Love those! . As always, the pics are our daily bonus.
They are fabulous! We should all be watching them on giant screens all over the country❤️🤍💙
Funny how one day they're the greatest acts on earth, fantastic entertainers who can't wait to come celebrate the nation's big 250th anniversary - and then, as soon as they realize that this event will be pure Trump-stroking propaganda and pull out of it, they're 3rd-rate money-grubbing has-beens who no one even remembers. That's Donald Turn-on-a-dime Trump for ya.
The predator known for his girth
Is given a very wide berth
By anyone sane
And not blindly inane
Who can see evil for what it's worth
One of your very best, Doc!🚨
Knockin em dead Doc!
For sure! I’m just so exhausted from all his BS name calling, talking like a petulant sophomoric POS believing he’s the GOAT. More like an ASS. If only he’d STFU and leave us all in peace.
Just adding “Permanently” to your post.
Not even a horse's ass, an ass's ass (to mix the UK and US usages)
I’m in Hollie. I’ll hold him down with tears (of joy) in my eyes.
Yes. Natalie posted her usual shit by pretending to be the corpse of seditionist/Convicted Felon/pedo trunt. As posted by another poster…trunt =any cunt who voted for trump
Love for Trump is always a one-way street. Just ask poor Cornyn.
Katie has some serious chops as a cartoonist.
💯+💯+💯+💯+💯
I would pay full retail price for a book of these Tiedrich Family Circus cartoons!
love the They Might Be Giants comics. lol.
also, I just visited Mt Rushmore. no need for anyone to worry that Donny's face will end up there, for two reasons: 1) the rock will not support another face; they had to blast Jefferson's half-completed face off the left side (and move it to the right) because the rock was too unstable; the mountain can't support any more faces. 2) it's the most stupid idea ever conceieved, and it would never be allowed to even start.

NO idea is too stupid for this administration. Witness the $250 bill.
I appreciate people saying that the idea being stupid won't stop trump from trying. But seriously, go visit the place sometime and learn about the history of the monument.

Leave me then. Leave me with my critical thinking skills, my ability to read and write long-form, and books without needing AI summaries.

There's a Pied Piper analogy in here somewhere...
It seems most of the American populace are complacent sheep who take whatever is shoved down their throats and learn to live with it and even convince themselves they like it. Billionaires are probably pinching themselves in disbelief at how easy their takeover is proceeding.
Yeah we’re exhausted
im similarly inclined re ai -- not sure about my kids, tho -- they will need to survive and even thrive for a long time -- where ill have my toe tag soon enough -- might not be such a good idea to blanket refuse to use ai in the workplace
Glad you had a great trip with Jeff, Katie and Norrin! Great pics of Claudia and your friends! We will get through this BS of fuckwit with each other!
The apple does not fall very far from the tree!❤️🤣
My thoughts exactly!
Katie is really talented, Jeff! I enjoyed her cartoons very much. You might want to give her a platform for her creativity and consider including more of her work in your posts. Her caricature of you is pretty spot-on, too. Glad you had a family get-away, sounds like a lot of fun and love was shared.

I just want to know one thing: Why is he still alive?
Say what you will about the Almighty but you can't deny that (S)He has one helluva sense of humor.
They’ll keep pumping him with drugs, steroids, anything that will keep him propped up.
Like a Weekend at Bernie’s’ ( Bernie was dead but his friends just propped him up everywhere he needed to be).
Timely great movie to see!!
👏👏👏👏
Thx Susan
People need to be reminded of this daily!!!
💥👏👏
🎯 Excellent! People need to see this everywhere right now.
Loved, loved, loved Katie's rants and her wonderful comics. I love your disgust watching Jeopardy. Thank you for sharing Jeff.
Wow, creativity runs in your family! Didn't you say your daughter is an engineer? Clearly she uses both sides of her brain very well.
Meanwhile, in the realm of the absurd, I'm struggling to adaquately express my outrage, disgust and disbelief over Dear Leader Donald's rapid mental demise. I guess I need to consult a thesaurus for new adjectives! The postings from him in your missive for today are beyond the beyond. I guess about all I can say without imploding is, "What a SICK fuck!"
