Cartoon of the Day

You Just Gotta Laugh!

The Washington Post's Style Invitational asked readers
to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by
adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and then
supply a new definition. Here are some recent winners:

SARCHASM: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit
and the person who doesn't get it.

INOCULATTE: To take coffee intravenously when you are
running late.

HIPATITIS: Terminal coolness.

KARMAGEDDON: It's like, when everybody is sending off
all these really bad vibes, right? And then, like, the
Earth explodes and it's like, a serious bummer.

DOPELER EFFECT: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem
smarter when they come at you rapidly.

INTAXICATION: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which
lasts until you realize it was your money to start
with.

COGITO EGGO SUM: I think, therefore I am ... a waffle.

RESPONDEZ S'IL VOUS PLAID: Honk if you're Scottish.

HASTE CUISINE: Fast French food.

QUIP PRO QUO: A fast retort.

CARNE DIEM: Seize the meat.

MEET PAT MARR

PAT MARR, DISGUISED AS A "NORMAL HUMAN BEING"

Pat Marr is the contributing editorial cartoonist for BizWatchOnline. He’s our kind of guy. BizWatchOnline wanted to know about the fountain’s of Pat’s inspiration, and here’s what he said:

"AS A CHILD I LACKED GOOD LOOKS, TALENT, SKILLS OF ANY KIND, INTELLECT AND CHARM, SO I WAS FORCED TO DEVELOP A SENSE OF HUMOR. HUMOR IS THE LUBRICANT OF LIFE; IT MINIMIZES ALL SORTS OF FRICTION, BETTER THAN WD40, THE OLD STANDBY."

"CARTOONING IS NOT MY FULL TIME JOB. I JUST DO IT TO VENT IDEAS. FROM A MYERS-BRIGGS PERSONALITY PERSPECTIVE, I AM AN INTP. INTPs TEND TO BE IDEA DRIVEN, AND THAT IS CERTAINLY TRUE OF ME. AS SUCH, I DON'T CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE AN ARTIST AS MUCH AS PERSON WHO PUTS IDEAS INTO A GRAPHICAL FORM. IN FACT, TO ME, DRAWING IS A VERY SMALL PART OF CARTOONING; THE PRIMARY SKILL IS THE ABILITY TO CONDENSE A COMPLEX IDEA INTO ITS SMALLEST FORM: A SINGLE PANEL."

"THINK OF ME AS A BUTTERKNIFE IN THE GREAT DRAWER OF LIFE; NOT AS SHARP AS OTHER INTPs, BUT I WON'T USUALLY STAB YOU, AND I'M KIND OF USEFUL."
