   I think magnesium glycinate works better.

   Appears to be the Batmobile from the old TV series, which was based on mid-sixties Chrysler concept car with a gas-turbine engine. Saw one at the 1964 New York World’s Fair.

   3) Bozo appears to be batting lefty, in which case the swing depicted is backwards.

   Time for Annie to launch into a stirring rendition of “Tomorrow.”

   No, not close.

   The comic implies that Biden actually forgot when his son died (see the third balloon). What happened was that he asked himself when Beau died, then promptly came up with the date but not the year, then asked to be reminded of the year. Nothing about that is abnormal. Biden did seem to forget that he brought it up rather than Hur, but this also is unsurprising given the context and the length of the interviews. Much younger people make similar errors. I suspect a similar sequence of events with Bernie as the protagonist would have yielded a much different cartoon.

   He’s actually accomplished quite a lot. The legislative record is particularly strong, especially given the tiny margins Democrats had in Congress during his first two years.

   Biden isn’t in serious cognitive decline. What actually happened in the interview was that Biden, in the course of a discussion, asked himself when his son died, then promptly said the date but not the year, and then asked for help with the year. This is not a sign of dementia but an ordinary consequence of aging. An old person (I’m almost 73) can tell you that as you age it gets harder to pull stuff up out of your memory on cue. In addition, time gets compressed. You might think initially that something happened fairly recently, then discover when you look it up that it was two or three times farther into the past. (And I have always struggled to remember birth dates, death dates, and such.) Irritating as all this is, it’s normal and hardly debilitating. Another thing I notice in my own mental capability is that I can’t think at the level of abstraction I could when I was young (especially in my 20s). On the other hand, I’m at least as good analytically as I was then, probably better. The candidate with actual signs of dementia is Trump.

   Would love to lay eyes on a GL #17. Green Lantern was my favorite comic book hero when I was a kid.

    Lotta hair for a newborn. Anyhow, the Grays’ abode has an austere, strangely retro look to it. Check the cradle Annie is in. It could be the 1930s if not for the cell phone in Harold’s hand.
