Language Log takes a strange turn

Recently one of my daily reads, Language Log, seems to have turned into an archive for newspaper comic strips.  I for one welcome our new insect overlords this turn.  The last three days have seen  posts about Blondie, Doonesbury,  and Partially Clips.  Earlier this month, Grand Avenue and Get Fuzzy were represented.   Check their category “Linguistics in the Comics” to see the trend.

    So that’s why the aliens destroyed the wind turbine!

    Always be “shovel-ready” when consulting an attorney.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if the anger managers didn’t destroy the wind turbine because of a lack of legal representation. (winking face icon)
