For some Sunday morning is a sacred time. For Columbia scholars, however, leisurely brunches and other holier Sunday morning traditions are often sullied by Saturday night's hangover and Monday's looming deadlines. But, remember it's only Saturday and today must borrow nothing of tomorrow!
So this drizzly November morning, Bwog offers a spread of cartoons to give your day a sunnier start. Everyone fondly remembers the matinal hours spent with the Animaniacs and Pepper Ann, and so does Bwog, but today we spotlight grown-up cartoons. Today's cartoons are inspired by the election and require a more liberal sense of humor - enjoy!

Too much to sift through on YouTube? Life's hard. Bwog's here to help.
There's nothing as bad as being in Butler on a Saturday night. But, instead of wasting your study break tonight on another disappointing episode of SNL, Bwog suggests checking out Sarah Dooley's (BC '11) delightful YouTube series, AndSarah.
Sarah's face may be familiar to you, but her acting and writing will surprise you. In each of the series' three episodes, Sarah offers clever and carefully crafted portraits of the life and times of college freshman. Her character is a caricature of herself, awkwardly idiosyncratic and simultaneously accessible to all undergraduates.
Her self-conscious fidgets and sputters are well-timed and reinforce her ridiculous, and often poignant, blunders. Although it takes a couple of minutes to get used to Sarah's mannerisms in the first episode, it's impossible to resist her lessons in people watching on College Walk and lunching alone in Hewitt.

Because they're sooooo similar, not in terms of theme and content mind you, but because we so love them both. Hugs all around.
Firstly, Jester (with a cool new website!):
"Constant, murderous raping" (page 8)
Children: they're not that special! (page 9)
The most useful thing Jester has ever published (page 14)
National stereotyping, with guns! (page 20)
Morton Williams ad not very funny (page 25)
Y'know, I was wondering that myself. I mean, they really shouldn't be able to, should they? But then again, they wouldn't really be exploiting or causing pain to another living creature--quite the opposite, in most situations. What say you, vegans? (page 26)
And lastly:
It's the OxyClean that does it for me
The most useful thing the Fed has ever published
Escorts!
And enough general hilarity to brighten up a morbidly gray, late November afternoon!

Peter Mende-Siedlecki CC'07, Tom Keenan CC'07, and Rob Trump CC'09 are this year's Varsity Show writers. Bwog dispatched Brendan Ballou to find out what they think of campus humor, what the writing process is like, why the Minutemen probably won't play so great a role in this year's show- and why Christian Bale may:
Brendan: I think campus humor is not nearly as good as it could be. I mean, there's the Jester and the Fed, and I guess The Blue and White...
KEENAN: I think The Blue and White has a different kind of humor.
A more pretentious type?
KEENAN: I wouldn't call it pretentious. I think The Blue and White has like this — 'snarky' is the word that's usually used to define them — it's not aiming purely to be humorous, but it injects humor into what it does, which is why I appreciate it.
MENDE: Pretentious has become this great word to throw around to mean so many other things. Some of which I think are very complementary.
Like snarky?
MENDE: I don't think snarky's the only one. Sometimes it's nice to read an article in The Blue and White that has absolutely nothing to do with a dick joke. The "Definitive Guide to Butler Sex" was awesome.
Did you see that Spec did a guide to sex in Hamilton?
ALL: Yeah...
KEENAN: That was awkward for everyone.
A lot more after the jump!

Praying with Lior an engrossing, wrenching and tender documentary introduces Lior Liebling, also called "the little rebbe." Lior has Down syndrome, and has spent his entire life praying with utter abandon. Is he a "spiritual genius" as many around him say? Or simply the vessel that contains everyone's unfulfilled wishes and expectations? Lior - whose name means "my light" - lost his mother at age six, and her words and spirit hover over the film. While everyone agrees Lior is closer to God, he's also a burden, a best friend, an inspiration, and an embarrassment, depending on which family member is speaking. As Lior approaches Bar Mitzvah, the Jewish coming-of-age ceremony different characters provides a window into life spent "praying with Lior."
Directed by Ilana Trachtman│Documentary│87-minutes
