NewsRadio fans may remember that Matthew had a cat named Mitt Mitt, which was something of an inspiration for today’s gag.

Howdy, Weaponeers! If you like RW, then you probably like the art of Dave Lentz. And if you like Dave, then you should go to 604 Republic and vote on his designs so they can become t-shirts! He’s got some cool stuff over there that you definitely want to put on your front parts. It’s an election year, so vote early and vote often.

Once again, back is the incredible, the rhyme animal…POLICE BLOTTER! More like this every Thursday. Set your watch by it. Your weird watch that counts times by weeks.

Oh hey, today is officially the third anniversary of Registered Weapon. Year #3 was a little light in the content department, but year #4 is going to be a barn-burner. So post a guard at your barn, because we’re coming to burn it down.

Hey, we’re back! Kind of! Two things:

1. Everyone’s favorite spunky rookie cop TATM joined the Twitter nation late last week. So far she’s been sharing bird facts and clumsily hitting on NASA’s new robot astronaut, so be sure to follow her at @Officer_TATM for all the important updates.

2. The long-awaited, much-anticipated PRESIDENT’S DAY will finally see the light of day next Wednesday, August 31! Part One will be posted right here in PDF/CBR format for your reading pleasure, and Part Two will follow two weeks later on September 14. Written by Gardner & Chris and illustrated by Will Harris, this special story tells what happens to LA’s finest when Obama comes to town. Miss it at your peril!
