Detail of today's comic. Full text in comic below.

First! a word from the author

PANEL 1 Newscaster: And we're back with our regular commentator, the screaming guy from the Edvard Munch painting! Screaming guy (in inset panel): Thanks Biff! Though to pre-empt the pedants, I should note that I was actually intended to represent a figure hearing a scream! PANEL 2 Newscaster: Well you'll always be the screaming guy to me! So, do you have any thoughts on the constantly-shifting rationale for our new war in Iran? SG: The administration denies that this is a war! Except when Trump calls it a war. PANEL 3 SG: Officially it's more of a lethally kinetic war-shaped program activity thingamajig! But also we've apparently been at war with Iran for fifty years! Newscaster: Well that certainly clarifies matters! What do you anticipate moving forward? PANEL 4 SG: Biff no one in this administration seems to have the slightest idea what they're doing! We're on the brink of geopolitical and economic chaos! There's only one rational response to any of this-- PANEL 5 (Screaming guy emits a long scream) PANEL 6 Newscaster: A succinct analysis indeed! Thank you as always for your piercing insight! ... coming up next: we ask the famous coffee-drinking dog in the burning room whether this is fine! ... first these messages! (Inset now shows the This is Fine dog by K.C. Green.)
