News about health insurance is not usually funny. Or cheery. Or anything other than depressing.

Even today’s story by Times reporter Lisa Girion, Health insurance coverage in U.S. rises, contained a downer in that premiums are rising more quickly than paychecks, with many companies and workers no longer able to keep their former coverage. The increase comes from government coverage of children.

So here are some other perspectives, just to lighten the mood:

From the always-great Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller.

From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer’s David Horsey.

And from Overboard (my personal favorite, featuring wry pirates and, often, a lab), by Chip Dunham.

You know, I feel better already.
