Louis Renault: I have no conviction, if that’s what you mean. I blow with the wind, and the prevailing wind happens to be from Vichy. Tom Tomorrow unleashes a torrent of nonsense, almost entirely things Donald Trump never said, but much of which echoes things he did say.

CSotD: Start Your Week by Overthinking

Skip to content →2025→06→02→Comic Strip of the Day→Comic strips→CSotD: Start Your Week by Overthinking Time in cartoons tends to be vague.
