Welcome to Neatorama, Ernie. I'm already on your email subscriber list and I, for one, encourage you to keep providing your interesting takes on not-so-interesting topics here. Even if they are reposts I've seen before. It's kinda like TV Syndication... which is another topic you might make more interesting.

I give McNamee props for being able to do a multi-gag eyebrow cartoon without mentioning Frieda Kahlo or Groucho Marx. Or Bert from Sesame Street (who rocked the unibrow more than Frieda ever did). But I think the list missed the Classic Villain Bushy Eyebrows, you know, the kind you could conceal a whole arsenal of weapons behind.

For me, the Default New Yorker Cartoon caption should be "You know, this would make a pretty good New Yorker cartoon."

But then, the original caption for the one with the dogs, "On the internet, no one knows you're a dog", is also usable in a wide variety of contexts.

Since I moved close to a section of the California Coast where otters hang out and beat up mollusks for their food, and learned that otters are semi-close relatives to weasels, I have gained much more respect for those weasely creatures.

But still, I'm working on a rewriting of the lyrics of that song to "Pop Goes the Otter"... so far, I have it rhyming with "sparking water", "Harry Potter", "the Devil's Daughter", "Welcome Back Kotter" and "lambs to the slaughter". It gets really dark.

Well, my job with the most 'perks' (Gold-level Health insurance, guaranteed overtime over 37½ hours a week, in-house subsidized (cheap) cafeteria and in-house fitness center) was the most horrible place I ever worked, for other reasons, which I won't go into here. Your Mileage WILL Vary.

To be accurate, a good time was had by all who DESERVED TO HAVE A GOOD TIME. Although indulging your irrational persecution complex can be fun for some folks, I guess.

So, exactly 60 years after the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki, you dropped Neatorama on the Internet. It was also exactly 10 years after Jerry Garcia of The Grateful Dead became dead himself, quite ungratefully. But then, it was also exactly 151 years after Henry David Thoreau's "Walden" was published and 31 years after Richard Nixon resigned the Presidency, so if you'd wanted to be prouder of your anniversaries, you should've done it a year earlier. You live and learn. But congratulations on your continuing to survive (and thrive) in a place (the Web) and time (now) where it takes a lot to get to a 10th Anniversary. Keep up the good work and I'll be back for your 20th.

This doesn't look much different from "The Nine Nations of North America"as broken out in a 1981 book (that I bought at the time). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nine_Nations_of_North_America
Out of print, but you can still get used copies and the author revisited the concept rather recently http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2014/07/03/where-do-borders-need-to-be-redrawn/nine-nations-of-north-america-30-years-later

Things like this just remind us how AWFUL the "Pixels" movie is...

Because a diagonal line from the lower left to upper right is part of the universal "NO" symbol. Smart.

One obvious error in the dolls: for the Marvel Villains, the largest MUST be Galactus, who is big enough to EAT PLANETS. Duh.

Way back in 1977, I was part of a hilariously failed secession effort.

I was working as an Assistant/Sidekick to the oddly-named radio personality 'Sweet' Dick Whittington, who was doing mornings at a station based in the San Fernando Valley suburb of L.A. There were people at the time championing having The Valley secede from Los Angeles and form its own city. In a loose monologue, he jumped on the idea and took it to an extreme and absurd conclusion: have The Valley secede from the United States and give itself back to the British. (But that part of the country never belonged to Britain, you say, yes, that's where the absurd comes in) But when audience reaction prompted him to take the absurdity seriously, it ended up with over a dozen people from the radio station (plus the writer who wrote the above article) for a 3-day trip to London on the 4th of July. The highlight of the radio career of the Sidekick Formerly Known as Wendell, even if that picture of me hiding the tape recorder was unflattering.

The tendency to anthropomorphize spaceships may have reached its zenith with the publication of Anne Leckie's award-winning "Ancillary Justice" novel (and its currently-award-nominated sequel), where the protagonist is "the sole surviving fragment of a starship '​s consciousness". It's -uh- complicated, but seems pretty consistent with the trend.

Not one of your shirts, but one of the few t-shirt designs created by MetaFilter (a frequent source of content here... don't think I didn't notice) is the standard reminder to participants in comment threads not to "talk" about violations of policy or decorum you observe but rather to use the 'flag' button that appears next to comments for members. And the wording fits more easily than most: "FLAG IT and MOVE ON"

(the symbol used for the 'flag' button is an exclamation point (!), so the non-standard crown at the top contains several of them, subtly camouflaged)
