Don’t worry FD. It’s just ennui. Which is either a state of mind or a small island in the South Pacific. Either way it’s a reasonable thing to contemplate whilst sipping semi-transparent coffee. I vote for megafauna, charismatic or otherwise (I was always rather fond of Diprotodon…it didn’t pay not to be). Never mind the species/gender/object challenged editorial panel.

Menopause? Also, I for one would not mind in the least if your cartoons were about bananas or whales, but for a possible explanation for that see the earlier part of my response 😉
The truth is we are not designed to live to a 24/7 news cycle and the news doesn’t rely on us watching to feed it. I don’t think you are broken, but maybe a bit overwound.

Dear First – I just hit middle age – Dog, you may find digestive enzymes work a treat.

Just ask Kevin ‘uh oh, there goes the ol’ gall bladder’ Rudd.

Speaking of mega fauna. We are not evolved to live much past 40-45, and yet we do. Ain’t it grand?
