Sunday Edition

October 11, 2026

Archived when that week’s edition left the homepage. The order is the live stack: comics, Salted Pork Sunday, then the Sunday papers.

Sunday comics

Full color

Scroll sideways to read a strip.

  • Four-panel full-color comic. An almond asks a banker for a seasonal line of credit and explains that assessments come in after the new crop, a timing gap. A bar chart shows the 2023 borrowing vote at 63.59% of growers and 56.15% of volume, short of the two-thirds needed: 'Short by a nutshell.' Growers vote again Nov. 2-20.
    NUTS ABOUT CREDIT
  • Four-panel full-color comic. Forty-seven raisins crowd a Fresno committee table, then scramble in musical chairs as the California Raisin Administrative Committee shrinks to 21 seats, effective Nov. 9. Quorum drops from 25 to 14: 'we can reach quorum before lunch.' The changes passed a grower vote in January.
    MUSICAL CHAIRS, RAISIN EDITION
  • Four-panel full-color comic. A resident at a forest public-comment podium faces an official holding a '15 DAYS' stopwatch as the Forest Service final rule sets 15-day minimum comment periods for environmental assessments and 30 days for impact statements, effective Nov. 12. A pile of about 2,270 comments follows. 'Fifteen days, minimum. Set an alarm.'
    SPEAK NOW (BRIEFLY)
  • Four-panel full-color comic. An astronaut beside a 'Low Earth orbit: for lease' sign looks for a place to live after the ISS retires, as NASA's final call for commercial space station proposals sets a Dec. 8 deadline. Bidders brag about window seats, NASA's administrator says 'the economics ultimately have to work,' and NASA expects to pick winners in spring 2027.
    SPACE STATION FOR RENT
  • Four-panel full-color comic. A computer chip receives a giant check reading 'Pay to Wolfspeed, up to $1.5 billion' stamped CONDITIONAL, from the Office of Strategic Capital. The conditions: due diligence, final agreements, congressional authorization, appropriations and OMB sign-off, and the company's own filing says there is no assurance the loan closes. 'In Washington, conditional means not yet.'
    CONDITIONAL LOVE
  • Four-panel full-color comic. A FEMA official finds the same mistaken 'Fusion Center' clause in every fiscal 2026 Homeland Security Grant Program award, scrubs it, and fixes them all with one document, Information Bulletin No. 589, effective immediately. 'Who checks the fine print? This week? A bulletin numbered 589.'
    ONE CLAUSE, EVERY AWARD
  • Four-panel full-color comic at night. A raccoon in a hi-vis vest shines a flashlight on a garden gnome: 'Sir. Step away from the petunias.' His possum partner says, 'Rocco. He's ceramic.' The raccoon measures with a popsicle stick: the gnome is 17 inches from the sidewalk, not 18. 'He can't move.' 'Should've thought of that before he got glazed.' The possum writes a napkin citation: one rotisserie chicken, payable at the bin. In the last panel the lawn is full of dozens of gnomes, and the possum says, 'We're gonna need more napkins.'
    POSSUM & RACCOON, CODE ENFORCEMENT: THE GNOME SITUATION

Salted Pork Sunday

6,692 House earmarks worth $8.2 billion, frozen by a stopgap until Dec. 11 — the biggest plates, 476 identical $772,700 ones, and the GAO fixes still waiting.
