Your are mugged



Another in the "You are here" genre of map-related comics. Like I said, there's a LOT of comics on this theme.
That kind of reminds me of a new term in editorial cartooning "The Yahtzee". I learned about from Sheldon creator Dave Kellet who claims editorial cartoonist Daryl Cagle invented it. The term refers to the situation where 5 or more editorial cartoonists come up with the exact same joke on the same topic on the same day. For a recent example, Mr. Kellet brings up the use of Cronkite's tagline "And that's the way it is" on a rather large number of obituarial (is that a word) comics about him.
