Today’s cartoon, by Emily Flake:

A man and a woman, wearing swimsuits and sun hats, chat while arranging an elaborate beach setup, including an umbrella, two folding chairs, a side table, books, and beverages.

“Just so you know, this is the most stuff we can bring without applying for a building permit.”
