Two cartoons today are related to speech titles

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The December 6, 2023 F Minus cartoon by Tony Carrillo shows what might be a TED Talk speaker proclaiming:

 

“Hello, and welcome to my megahit sold-out lecture,

  ‘Everyone Who Disagrees with You Is a Liar or a Fool’.”

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the December 6, 2023 Pearls Before Swine cartoon by Stephan Pastis has the following four frames:

 

Rat: [Sitting behind the counter with a sign advertising Good Advice for Losers]

Goat: Do you honestly expect to attract customers with a sign like that?

Rat: [rewrites the sign]

Rat: [Sitting behind the counter with a sign now saying Great Advice for Losers]

 

A superlative like great always is better than merely saying good.
