Toonbots for the 4th!

Well! A new Tooonbots for the fourth of July! How patriotic! (Even if the esteemed meta-cartoonist has neglected to e-mail those who or on his update notification list.)

More Mao and mostly gags from Tirdun's Communism saga. Not bad, and better than nothing. And the wolverines enjoy being referenced.

::wolverines gnaw away at lack of update notification::

Au contraire, bucko. I *did* send out notification. Nyah.

Well, if you did, I certainly didn't receive it. First time that's happened to me, in fact. Perhaps AOL lost it, and I ought to use a different address, or whatnot. All I know is absolutely nothing of the kind was in my inbox today (or else I'd have checked Toonbots immediately.)

AOL probably decided to hold it in the system for 24 hours for no good reason. I've had that happen to me before.

Any mail server can do that if it gets congested. Actually, what's happening is the *source* mail server is keeping it on queue for a while until the congestion passes. So (maybe) (for once) it's not AOL's fault.

On the other hand, the subject was "I'm baaack", instead of the more traditional "New toonbots", so maybe it was just overly confusing?
