Today’s Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller uses the weather to show precisely why science and faith are incompatible:
I don’t know how he gets away with it!

xkcd raises the bar for comics
February 17, 2014 • 6:12 am
Today’s xkcd raises the bar for what is already a superb “comic” (or should I call it graphic art?). I’ve put a screenshot below, but you really need to go to the original site, for the words flash lighter or darker at the frequency with which the event they depict takes place.

It ends with a flowchart you can follow to determine whether you suck at your religion. (That won’t, I suppose, be relevant to most readers here.)

Bucky B. Katt as atheist bus sign

Several readers sent me a link to yesterday’s “Get Fuzzy” by Darby Conley. Bucky Katt, who hates ferrets, is acting as Satchel’s spiritual adviser, but one who’s saner than D**pak:
