We’re all very happy around here to have Robert Ariail back today after a week off. Apparently, some of his fans have missed him, according to one of my colleagues at thestate.com, who e-mailed me today to say:
Has Robert posted any cartoons in a while, or is he on vacation? I looked in p-edit and didn’t see anything beyond 8-31. The natives on his web site are getting restless!
I don’t know whether it will settle them down, but Robert is back from vacation today, and his next cartoon is already on tomorrow’s page.
So take it easy, folks … step away from the keyboard…
If his fans thought last week was tough, they should have tried being ME without Robert. It was very tough putting out pages without him here, because the pickings were slim between the two syndicated columnists we still have, Toles and Payne.
So join me in welcoming Robert back. No one appreciates his presence more than I.

You know what would be nice?
Run all of Robert’s cartoons from the week in smaller form on half a page of Sunday’s opinion page. USA Today does something like that on Friday’s, I believe, with a recap of some of the best.
That would be more useful than reading about how “au pairs” are the solution to Governor Palin’s parenting issues…
His pictures are worth at least double the proverbial thousand words.
