1. Expanding my vocabulary: "Listicles."

I've been reading and enjoying them for years (journalistic articles in the form of listings, i.e., "The 10 worst political trends to watch for this year&quot ; didn't realize there was a specific term for them.......

2. Oooohhhhhh...

Thanks for the explanation.

If I was in a crowd, I would have smiled and laughed! But my brain would have been thinking, Listicles? What the hell are Listicles?

6. Thank you for the definition!

I was wondering what that was, never heard the term before.

3. Los Angeles Times...what the hell?

Just looked at the paper...comics...

The top two panes are missing...only printed the bottom six.

What the?

5. The two first frames are sometimes thrown away...

... Doonesbury for years has used the first two panels as intros to the next six, because some papers omit the first two panels of Sunday toons for some reason. Many cartoonists have adopted the practice of making the first two panels as nonessential to the rest of that day's strip as a consequence. But I'm surprised the LA Times just did this today, you'd think it would have been editorial policy already. I guess it has to start some time.
