Online Funnies Page
Comic Strips (from angadi.org)
When you read a daily newspaper, there's always the funnies page, where you can read all your favourite daily cartoons, like Dilbert, Peanuts, Ziggy, For Better or For Worse, Non Sequitur, Doonesbury, and B.C. For whatever reason, the funnies page didn't make the transition to the web as gracefully as the other sections of newspapers.
Angadi.org publishes a page of links to the daily comic strips, but they also have a page with scripts that load all the strips on to the same page. There is no dynamic page with the day's comics, but you can manually change the URL with the date information in the format: mmddyyyy. They have all your favourite cartoons like the ones listed above, and the creator, Raghu Angadi, accepts suggestions for additions to the site.
Unfortunately, they don't have the always hysterical Marmaduke comic. For the big ol' great dane, you'll have to go here.

The 2007 Pulitzer Prize Winners
The Pulitzer Prizes - 2007 Winners
On Tuesday, April 17, the 2007 Pulitzer Prize winners were announced. The Pulitzer Prize is awarded for excellence in Journalism (14 awards in 2007), and in Letters, Journalism and Music (7 awards in 2007). This is the best of the best of American writing, and the Pulitzers are the pinnacle for American journalists. Two special awards were awarded in 2007 to science fiction writer, Ray Bradbury and jazz saxophonist, John Coltrane.
Today's site is not just a list, the highlight of the site is that there are links to the Pulitzer winning works for most categories, including: editorial cartoons, feature photography, investigative journalism, editorial writing, and breaking news photography.

It wasn't funny just because you didn't get it...
Joe Mathlete Explains Today's Marmaduke
There are a lot of the old, traditional comics that are still printed in the paper, even though they stopped being funny decades ago (if they were ever funny in the first place), such as Peanuts, Family Circus, Nancy... well, almost all the comics, actually. How often do you actually LOL at the funnies page?
Marmaduke, a comic about a big Great Dane, is one of the worst of those terribly unfunny, outdated cartoons that continues to run every day in the paper, because no one has put it out of its misery.
But maybe we've got it all terribly wrong.
Maybe Marmaduke is really, really funny; we just needed Joe Mathlete to explain the comic for us in his blog with his very dry wit and his (not suitable for children) colourful language. The explanations often get me LOL at Marmaduke.
