Smartest cartoons I have ever seen. I think many of my loyal readers will like them, and end up smarter while rolling on the floor laughing.  Here is one (illustrated above) that touches on a theme I am working on: how to harness the motives people have other than pure self-interest to reduce the size of tax distortions. Of course, anything we do to make a wonderful world could all be destroyed by a supernova’s gamma ray burst, or by Winnie the Pooh.
