I don’t get the newspaper these days but, after reading both strips thru the links, I have to agree that the CIA intern strip is funnier. The masturbation strip is kinda lame.

The Des Moines Register ran the masturbation strip. And I think “The Masturbation Strip” would be a great song title for one of the many band names thought of here.
