1. Thank you for ths depressingly excellent collection.

2. I don't really get the Diversity is our Strength one. Must be old, Barnes and Nobles is almost gone, Blockbuster is gone

Most are spot on, but I have to ask who is Alden? I see a few frames are about him.

And question for history majors; the bottom comic from WWII. Not sure of the implication. Are they saying Mussolini appeared to be cleaning up Egypt at first, but then in 42…? He was pretty much run out of Egypt by then.

4. When gathering these I too wondered who Alden was

After a few searches, it appears Alden is a company not a person.

The New York-based hedge fund Alden Global Capital – known for slashing its newspapers' budgets
to extract escalated profits – won shareholder approval Friday for its $633 million bid to acquire the

5. Thanks. I'm sure if you worked at a newspaper you'd of heard of the investor.

Vulture fund is right. It’s sad. I got a news paper every day for years. There are few left, the ones who’ve survived have switched to digital editions. I miss have a paper and coffee every morning.

8. He doesn't pop up very often on the sites I gather from

but his latest the Richard Nixon quote SCOTUS was his newest and I run across it and then went
looking for more of his stuff, glad I did and will continue to check in on him from time to time.

The one of the guy filling up the water bottles at the water cooler to refill the vending machine really got me!
