All about Murphy's Law with cartoons, too

My home has been a working example of Murphy's Law lately, hence this post about it.

HowStuffWorks has an article by Josh Clark titled "How Murphy's Law Works."  Of note is that it's called Sod's Law in England.

There are sites dedicated to the subject.  The Complete Edition of Murphy's Laws gives an exhaustive glossary of the law, its corollaries and derivatives.  This one I experience on a regular basis:

At Fuffermutter there's cartoonist Mitra Farmand. The cartoon below is one of hers.

Clay Bennett was found hanging out on the web. His site is nicely organized; here's one of his cartoons:

Remembering Kevin Kallaugher's (KAL) site, I took a look at his portfolio and found this

Brian Crane draws Pickles for the Washington Post. Here he is hard at work.

I like Brian's style of work, think I'll give it a try.
