By The Way

Here are the comics I was reading when I as almost hit by a car last week (May 27th, The Crossing). Reading is good for you, not so much when a moving vehicle is the punch line (unless is one of those Smart cars, in which case I might do more damage to it than it to me).

And in case anyone is curious, ‘schadenfreude’ means, essentially, that one digs another’s misfortune. The dictionary didn’t say, but as far as I am concerned, ‘prick’ defines such a person much more succinctly.

I should also mention that I stand corrected on the crash-worthiness of Smart cars. Here’s a video of a crash test of a Smart Twofor. It does pretty well.
