You are horse

Here is a debut of The Dark Side of the Horse by Samson doing a You are here gag, an example of which i haven't posting for a while:

Mitt's event

I'm posting this, from Tom Toles, a few weeks late for the Olympic theme it's based on, but just in time for the GOP Convention.

Treasure Maine

Here's another episode of Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller from July of 2008.  Click on the image to make is larger and more legible.  This kind of imaginative activity is par for the course for the Danae character in Non Sequitur.  Her miniature horse pet/buddy hasn't yet been able to talk much sense into her.

This is, however, the first time Maine gets a direct mention in the blog, so that makes 16 of the 50 states appearing in various posts so far.

Dan Reynolds gives us this rather elaborate Atlas joke.  It's actually a combination of an Atlas joke, a scale joke, and a GPS joke. This post here, another "scale" gag, is actually the most visited post on my blog, consistently logging more hits every week.  And while its concept is almost identical to what's going on in this post, I somehow doubt this post will get the same number of hits.

If ya take a look at where this Roman charioteer is pointing on his Atlas, that's in the middle of deepest Africa.  No wonder these guys are hopelessly lost.  That wasn't even part of the "known world" back then... or at least not part of the world known to the Romans.

Under the river

Bob Krohmer gives us this take on combining the traditional holiday song with spouses arguing about directions.   I thought "the horse knows the way"... so why do they need a map?

Old map

Stephen Hutchinson gives us this fun comment on the problem with old maps.
