9-26-08: Bruce Tinsley, creator of Mallard Fillmore, has an amazing record of creating cartoons whose point is completely obliterated by events which occur the very day his creations see the light of print. This is remarkable because syndicated comics are often created up to a month in advance.

Case in point... today he's bitching about the fact that presidential candidate John Edwards' affair was only deemed printable by the National Enquirer.

As fate would have it, vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin's affair with her husband's ex-business partner has just been exposed by the Enquirer, too.

Feel better now, Bruce? You insufferable dick.
