I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the above Cat and Girl comic.
Why? Because I, too, have recently found a deeply guilty pleasure:

Old Man Winter’s almost dead.

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

So far, more than half of you responded to this month’s poll saying this winter was worse than last year.
