where Opus and a couple other characters are sitting in a meadow with a desk, phone, and a KLIB sign. Opus says something line, "We've decided to start a liberal talk show. We're going to take calls from people who think their taxes are too low and we need more government regulation." All of the remaining panels show the gang sitting silently by the telephone waiting for it to ring.

That makes me wonder what kind of audience demographics they hope to attract. Since advertising dollars are based on the market demographics, it might go a long way to explain why, despite several attempts, nationwide liberal talk shows have a very poor track record. Besides, they already have an entire radio (and TV) network, partially subsidized by tax dollars. I guess that isn't enough for them.

* I saw this on PowerLine around the end of the year. I'd love to see the cartoon. Hell, I miss Bloom County. And the Far Side. And Calvin and Hobbs. Sigh.
