A Round and a Roundy: Why is Any of This Normal?
The other afternoon, a New Yorker was walking along a city sidewalk and was forced to walk out into the middle of the street because the sidewalk was covered with bag after bag of garbage.

And therein lies this week’s cartoon, another instant classic.
All of Bill Roundy’s cartoons are archived here.
