Jul 3rd 2012 07:27 am A Time to Bill II
Sometimes, what isn’t drawn is more important than what is. I call this a lesson in “comic kinetics.” Tension builds in the first panels, reaching a peak in the third as Gene, playing the young legal eagle, wrestles with his curiosity. It is obvious he loses and the result is a frenetic burst of mayhem, fear and writhing “snakes.” Of course, this isn’t shown in the cartoon; only the aftermath which is utterly devoid of tension. This is because you can imagine the crisis better than I can draw it. See? You should have been a cartoonist!

This is true in so many other areas! The payoff is so much more satisfying if there is something left to the imagination than just dumping it all out at once. Of course, there is the down side, too. We build up the situation in our minds, but if the end doesn’t live up to our imaginings we are devastated.
The look on our young legal eaglet’s face here is priceless!

@Judy in Conroe,
Hope you were the hit of the book club. Sorry to hear your blueberries are over, mine have not yet started. Here in Massachusetts, I discovered(only been in this house since June)that I did not need to plant any blueberries as they are growing wild around the house…that said I get none as the local rodentia seem to be feasting on them….I wonder if the woodchuck family under the driveway is getting fat on them too. at least they have not hit the lady’s garden….yet! In Maine where I just left yesterday, the high berry bushes in the garden are fat and green, my kids and grandkids will harvest those next week I think. None for me
@Mindy w/John,
Bittersweet is insidious, keep an eye out for the curling tips as they search out some higher perch to latch onto and choke the life out…I have just returned from Maine as I mentioned above where I found it in my gardens with none any where nearby…it’s the birds, they eat the seeds and poop em out and now I have a two fronted battle going on……Arrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhh {and it isn’t even Talk Like a Pirate Day(Bet Arlo’s a pirate for Halloween this year)}.
With that hope you all have a Symply Fargone day
Tom from the Front Range on 03 Jul 2012 at 9:51 am #
Yeah, I should have been a cartoonist, well, if I could draw and find an outlet that would need maybe one feeble attempt per year.
Sad day with the passing of Andy Griffith.
Steve from Royal Oak, MI on 03 Jul 2012 at 10:20 am #
JJ: Hitchcock believed the same thing. The reaction of characters allowed the imagination of the viewer to imagine far worse than what we he could show on the screen. It worked for him, but wished others would follow.
I am taking a few days off and just got back from Daily Mass and a haircut. The cat did to me exactly what Ludwig did to Arlo. I think that he was “marking” me.
Yes a very sad day for us all. My Dad waved at Mr. Griffith about 50 years ago and Andy waved back at him with a smile. That is how I choose to remember him. Now I must whistle.
Blinky the Wonder Wombat on 03 Jul 2012 at 10:29 am #
Guess Andy will be now spendin’ spend some time at the eternal Fishin’ Hole. Think I’ll whistle that tune the rest of the day in memory or Andy.
Goober dies last month, Andy this month and I hear Gomer is not feelin’ well. Little Opie better watch out!
Thanks Andy, for helping preserve memories of a better time when we were a better people.
John in Virginia on 03 Jul 2012 at 11:41 am #
Simply Fargone, the Bamboo Wars were put aside and, in spite of the heat, Bittersweet was attacked with a heated passion in spite of the high 80s temperatures. I think that insidious little gaggle of insurgents is history now.
Sandcastler, I’m not going to respond to that because no matter what I say I’ll be suffering from a major case of foot-in-mouth disease [which is the proper name rather than hoof-in]. In this household, at least, his is not a shared opinion. Thank God!
Did I just insert foot in spite of my efforts not to?

Rest in peace Sheriff Taylor.
“The Fishin’ Hole”
Well, now, take down your fishin’ pole and meet me at The Fishin’ Hole,
We may not get a bite all day, but don’t you rush away.
What a great place to rest your bones and mighty fine for skippin’ stones,
You’ll feel fresh as a lemonade, a-settin’ in the shade.
Whether it’s hot, whether it’s cool, oh what a spot for whistlin’ like a fool.
What a fine day to take a stroll and wander by The Fishin’ Hole,
I can’t think of a better way to pass the time o’ day.
We’ll have no need to call the roll when we get to The Fishin’ Hole,
There’ll be you, me, and Old Dog Trey, to doodle time away.
If we don’t hook a perch or bass, we’ll cool our toes in dewy grass,
Or else pull up a weed to chaw, and maybe set and jaw.
Hangin’ around, takin’ our ease, watchin’ that hound a-scratchin’ at his fleas.
Come on, take down your fishin’ pole and meet me at The Fishin’ Hole,
I can’t think of a better way to pass the time o’ day.

One more comment on yesterdays’ topic: I can’t speak for anybody else, but back when it was popular, I hated Ode To Billie Joe. Not the words, because I never listened to them. I couldn’t get past the monotonous “melody,” and the draggy, sing-song delivery. In fact, until now, I was under the impression that Billie Joe was a girl!
That being said, I’m sorry to hear that Andy Griffith has passed away. He will be missed, and not only for The Andy Griffith Show. How many of you remember him in No Time For Sergeants, or the off-beat, almost SF TV show, Salvage 1?
Bob, near Mark on 03 Jul 2012 at 2:24 pm #
I liked Salvage 1. Wish it had lasted longer. Haven’t thought about that show in a long time.
Steve from Royal Oak, MI on 03 Jul 2012 at 2:42 pm #
I liked the pilot of Salvage 1 a lot. Andy was one of the best straight men around. Think John to Mindy.
Mindy on 03 Jul 2012 at 3:33 pm #
John loved that comment, Steve! And if he didn’t, I did!
Bob, near Mark on 03 Jul 2012 at 3:41 pm #
Andy’s fuel for Salvage 1 was hydrazine (N2H4). Don’t know why I’ve always remembered that. Hydrazine’s instability was one of the reasons the government was trying to stop his operations in a populated area.
The late Richard Jaeckel played his government agent nemesis.

Didn’t realize Andy had passed away. What a great, great guy!
Sandcastler – I bet your cats would be even happier to see you if you had been around some “fishy” places on your trip, like Arlo was! Seriously, cats are underrated in their capacity to love on their owners. They aren’t like dogs, but they sure can let you know when they are happy you’re back – or don’t want you to leave in the first place.
Mindy on 03 Jul 2012 at 6:42 pm #
Goodnight Gracie [Mindy]. ???????????

Dear Mindy will answer all your questions. At least partially. If you ask them the right way. And if she feels like it. Maybe.
And then you get to decipher the answers.

Russell, I decided to post something — anything — and then watch later or tomorrow when Mindy posted under my name. She gets so flustered. But to answer your question, no, she isn’t a blonde but she does have Blonde Moments from time to time [apologies to the blondes, no slander meant]. Some of them last but an instant, other go of for minutes or hours or even days. I can think of a couple of such moments that have lasted for years. Ya gotta love her!

Jim from NC on 03 Jul 2012 at 7:52 pm #
Ode to Billie Joe was 1967 my High School Graduation and first year at NCSU. On New Year’s Eve they counted down the 100 hits of the year, and it was #1, at least in NC. I am not sure if that was a National #1 or not. Always thought they threw their stillborn secret child off the bridge, or something to that very terribly sad effect.
Andy made us all feel good about ourselves and laugh at ourselves and each other. He made being from a small town wonderful and entertained millions. He was truly a North Carolina son and taught at Goldsboro High School for a couple of years before beginning his career. I always feel good when I watch several episodes of the show, and it never grows old or stale. Andy, we will miss you. As long as TV exists, there will probably be episodes shown on some channel.
Going to Tarpon Springs, Florida to get together with my navy buddy from 1970. We met in Taiwan and declared that our friendship would not end with our Navy enlistment. We get together with our families every year. We love to go out on his sail boat, except for the year we were caught in the Water Spout, but that was an adventure. Will follow online.

Like I said, you have to decipher.
Mindy on 03 Jul 2012 at 8:47 pm #
Mark in TTown, I love George Burns & Gracie Allen almost as much as Groucho Marx. I’ve read all of George’s books even though, after one or two, he begins to repeat the same material. It never loses it’s effect, in my opinion. Gracie, it seems, was ever bit as intelligent as George…who produced such winners as Mister Ed. Groucho is probably funnier, more spontaneous. I have an old book of John’s, a collection of Groucho’s letters. He wrote one to a friend who apparently had not written and, sarcastic, he said, “Received your letters. One was Manila. The other was strawberry.” I’ll not go into some of his classic lines on “You Bet Your Life.” Especially the one involving cigars and a woman with a dozen children. There was a tape of Groucho at Carnegie Hall, and one with an interview by one of the English personalities [can't remember which one, had his own TV show]. Lost them. If anyone knows what I’m talking about and where to get replacements, feel free to make my day.
Everybody remembers “Ode to Billie Joe.” How many remember “Harper Valley PTA” which followed?
Mindy on 03 Jul 2012 at 8:53 pm #
Dick Cavett. Cavette? Whatever, that was the guy who did the interview. I may have confused him with an Englishman, David Frost? And I get what, Ghost?
Mindy from Indy on 03 Jul 2012 at 9:22 pm #
Mindy – I remember “Harper Valley PTA.” If a too short skirt was cause for alarm then, can you imagine the reaction to today’s fashions? Got to love small-town drama.
Ghost Rider 6 on 03 Jul 2012 at 9:53 pm #
You get “Say good night, Gracie.”
Lady Mindy, I have to ask…what color(s) did you do your hair for the holiday? And I had huge crush on Barbara Eden. She could be my genie anytime.
Steve from Royal Oak, MI on 03 Jul 2012 at 9:56 pm #
Mindy, When I thought of straight men setting up a woman comedian, I thought of Burns & Allen, so I was not saying “Goodnight” to you, but a tip of the hat to Gracie.
I have repeated it here on the blog, but one of my favorite sayings is from George Burns, who said: “Sincerity is everything, once you learn how to fake that, you’ve got it made!”
However one of my favorite stories was about Gracie. Burns admitted that following an argument over a pricey coffee table Allen wanted, he had a very brief affair with a Las Vegas showgirl. Stricken by guilt, he phoned Jack Benny and told him about the indiscretion. However, Allen overheard the conversation and Burns quietly bought the expensive coffee table. Nothing more was said. Years later he discovered that Allen had told one of her friends about the episode finishing with, “You know, I really wish George would cheat on me again. I could use a new coffee table.”
I also liked the line form Harper Valley PTA: Well, this is just a little Peyton Place and you’re all Harper Valley hypocrites
Now if I have to explain Peyton Place…..
Mark in Boston on 03 Jul 2012 at 10:37 pm #
Gracie: “What’s today’s date?”
George: “I don’t know. Look at the newspaper.”
Gracie: “Oh, this is no good. It’s yesterday’s paper.”
Ghost Rider 6 on 03 Jul 2012 at 10:42 pm #
One indelible memory I have of The Andy Griffin show is from a Saturday morning a couple of years ago, sitting in a waiting room while my car was being serviced. The TV was on; Barney and Otis were doing some inspired bit of funny business; and another customer and I were laughing so hard tears were practically rolling down our cheeks. I happened to know the other man, a local minister, and I turned to him and asked, “Why aren’t they still making TV shows like this?”
“I truly don’t know,” was his only answer.
Lost in A**2 on 04 Jul 2012 at 1:08 am #
I’ve heard that Burns turned down “Who’s on First” because he didn’t know what Gracie would do with it. I’ve also heard that Gracie never responded, “Goodnight, Gracie.” Dan Rowan and Dick Martin used that line, though, and Martin would respond, “Goodnight, Dick.”
I’ve seen reruns of “You Bet Your Life.” I was reminded of them recently: one of his guests was a Hatfield. Groucho said to him, “So you’re the real McCoy.” “No, I’m a Hatfield.”
Mindy on 04 Jul 2012 at 8:48 am #

Mark in TTown on 04 Jul 2012 at 9:13 am #
Mindy, I am also a big fan of Groucho’s. Too bad he died the same week as Elvis and disappeared into the news media’s black hole. Richard Anobile did a series of books on the Marx brothers and their movies in the early ’70′s. Harpo was great too, but you have to see him work since he did a pantomime act. Mere words can’t truly get his humor across.
As to the Andy Griffith Show, did you know someone used it as a basis for a series of adult Sunday School lessons? I can’t recall the name of the series but they are still available.
Happy 4th everyone. Take time to remember what it is really all about. And follow the advice from today’s strip, get closer.
Galliglo in Ohio on 04 Jul 2012 at 9:20 am #
I remember Harper Valley PTA very well. My best friend and I were young divorcees at the time, each with two children. I think we thought that song had been written for us! LOL
Bob, near Mark on 04 Jul 2012 at 9:27 am #
Speaking of Harpo Marx (there’s an oxymoron if I ever heard one), I remember something from one of the brothers’ books (one of Groucho’s, or Harpo’s “Harpo Speaks”). After a performance of one of their vaudeville acts, a woman complained about the act taking advantage of, and making fun of, a poor mute person.

@John in Virginia/Mindy,
Your comments were nongenderized so I am not certain who I am responding to, the bittersweet is insidious, it runs these orange roots just under the surface of the ground(in Mass/Maine anyways), if you pull them up near the border of your lawn, you’ll find they travel tens of yards and will pull up your lawn like a DitchWitch( http://tinyurl.com/7c9pqxf ). Also they seem to have the ability to survive long periods of time in the wheelbarrow on little to no water and still survive with tendrils looking for something to latch on to…If you have it in an area it will never go away as the birds spread it…I know preaching to the choir, I hate that stuff!
@Sideburns,
No Time For Sargents is a great movie.
Let’s not be so Symply Fargone that we forget just what today stands for Have a great July 4th everyone and rejoice if you live in the US that you have the freedoms we do! I wouldn’t live anywhere else.
Steve from Royal Oak, MI on 04 Jul 2012 at 10:07 am #
Yes I have the book on the Sunday School lessons from Mayberry. The funny thing is that there were quite a few other episodes that they could have used. The show showed how to be Christian without being “preachy”.
One of my favorites was when Andy and Helen were trapped in a cave and Barney led the town in a search and rescue. Andy got out on his own, but when he heard that Barney was leading the town in the rescue, he and Helen went back in so that Barney would not be humiliated. Barney giving the Governor’s car a ticket was a classic too. The Governor saluted him. Even back then that type of humility was rare, but I liked the way the show promoted that type of behavior.

Happy Fourth to JJ and all of the gang.
Mary in Ohio, other than canned tuna our current pride could care less about fish. Did have one cat that took an interest in a live catfish one time. The catfish was lying on the garage floor, cat would creep up and snif, fish would twich and cat would leap back.

Anonymous on 04 Jul 2012 at 7:11 pm #
The “flowers” [really heads of flowers, as in all Asteraceae = Compositae] are pretty, but the resulting seed heads make a lawn look cruddy. It’s ironic that the flowering heads are so pretty, since [most?] dandelions are sterile triploids that don’t need fertilizing. They produce seeds asexually, all of them genetically identical to the parent plant, exept of course for an occasional mutation. They are the result of a, or perhaps > one abnormal cross between two closely related species of Middle Eastern composites. I took Kodachromes [sob] of some dendelions in Turkey just because we were near the area of origin.

I have no issue with dandelions myself, just liked the anchor image. The latest invasive pest we have to deal with in Florida is commonly known as stink or skunk vine – grows rapidly, covers everything (like kudzu) and can kill when it does, plus it smells like a sewer! The series of hurricanes we had a few years ago helped it to spread; then there’s the careless neighbors who make no effort to control it. At least dandelions, besides being pretty, are edible. So is kudzu or so I’ve heard.
Mindy from Indy on 04 Jul 2012 at 7:47 pm #
GR6 – hair is still auburn. Stylist is out of town and I didn’t have time to DIY this round. Ah well, the unruly mop I have holds in enough heat anyway, adding to it would likely annoy me enough to cut it all off.
I hope every one is having a great fourth (and not getting over-heated!) And thank you to all military and emergency personnel – we would be so much worse off without you!
Ghost Rider 6 on 04 Jul 2012 at 8:44 pm #
Lady Mindy, think of it this way…not doing your color thing may have spared your boss a stroke, or at least a bad case of heart burn. Consider a shorter cut; the right one can be very attractive, and something shorter and cooler will probably be important before this summer is over. That, and the fact I like my stylist to wear a sundress, is the extent of my tonsorial knowledge.
Mindy from Indy on 04 Jul 2012 at 11:10 pm #
GR6, Oh I’ve gone shorter alright. My uncle unexpectedly passed the day after I had dyed my hair a beautiful cobalt. While my aunt preferred the unusual color, other members if the family quietly threatened death and dismemberment if I did not “fix” my hair. (Blue is the hardest color to remove, BTW.) In 72 hours I had bleached, dyed, re-bleached, and re-dyed my hair (word of advice, don’t do that.) Most of my hair broke off and the morning of the funeral, I had to go even out my hair – it was half an inch by the time the lady was finished.
The story does have a uplifting angle though. My younger cousin and I stayed with my aunt the night before the funeral. We kept my aunt up until midnight that night – laughing hysterically as my cousin and I dyed each other’s hair. Between the sun and chlorine damage from her lifeguard position and a terrible color selection, my cousin’s hair turned out much, much worse than mine.
Steve from Royal Oak, MI on 04 Jul 2012 at 11:34 pm #
Mindy, when I was in the 5th (maybe 6th grade) the girl that sat in front of me tried to dye her very blond hair brown. It came out green. She was teased unmercilessly, but she had enough swagger to not let it bother her. However it did bother me, looking at a girl with green hair ALL day. For some reason, I wanted to recite Dr. Suess’ Green Eggs and Ham, for some reason.
Ghost Rider 6 on 04 Jul 2012 at 11:46 pm #
Although I normally associate blue hair with ladies in a different age demographic than yours, Lady Mindy, I can accept that hair of a cobalt shade would be striking. Although I may seem a bit conservative, I have a definite libertarian streak, so if it should ever happen that you need to attend my funeral, please feel free to come-as-you-are at that time.
Have you tried Katy Perry Purple yet?

Steve from RO, I dyed that same cousin’s hair cobalt for her senior year state swim meet final. (Mom said no, dad said yes. Tie goes to the daughter.) After the meet, she decided to dye her hair back brunette WITHOUT removing the blue – it turned a gorgeous shade of emerald green. She wasn’t nearly as happy with it as I was. Her mom didn’t speak to me for weeks after that episode. I don’t know why, it’s just hair.
GR6, Anymore, I gotta be me. As for purple, yes, many times. One time, I took my part, started with magenta, then ROY G. BIed to finish the part, and the rest of my hair was violet. It was awesome! Another time, I started with magenta at the crown, then faded from red, orange, and yellow at the ends. My co-workers said I looked like a maple leaf.
Blinky the Wonder Wombat on 05 Jul 2012 at 7:30 am #
First week of freshman year at college, my DW (then just a good friend), realized her natural blond hair (already further bleached by the sun and chlorine after a summer as a lifeguard) was rapidly turning green. Apparently the town added extra chemicals to the water system for the in-rush of students, pulling copper out of the pipes and depositing on DW’s hair. Fortunately she was still close to home and was able to have her stylist perform a quick dye job to cover up the green. Nevertheless, not the most pleasant introduction to college life.
