Questionable Content is a strip I’m currently catching up on. I’m up to #209, which made me laugh out loud. Check it out.

Get this: A state agency is investigating whether workplace safety regulations were violated when three Washtenaw County Sheriff’s deputies rushed into a burning apartment building last fall and pulled residents to safety. Why? Sheriff Daniel Minzey said he was shocked to learn that someone had filed an anonymous complaint […]
