Given the drift of yesterday’s conversation, I couldn’t resist showing you this Sunday example of reality-bending from five years ago. Speaking of yesterday’s conversation, I would like to set the record straight about one thing. I do not draw my comic strip digitally. Far from it. In fact, I recently experimented with felt-tip pens, which most cartoonists—the decreasing number who do not draw digitally—have favored for years. I drew with felt-tip pens for several months, but I didn’t care for the results. I have gone back to pen nib and India ink on 100% rag Strathmore paper. In fact, they don’t make the pen points I use anymore. I have to watch for them on eBay, where they’re sold as antiques. I figure I have a two-year supply on hand right now. Only after I finish drawing an A&J strip do I enter the digital world by scanning the artwork and creating a file.

Ghost – The Chicken Dance http://m.youtube.com/?#
Jackie – Yay Mike. Salsa lessons maybe?
Heard the cicadas earlier this week. If that means only six more weeks of summer …
Debbe 😉 So, you’re saying that male cicadas only have sex every 17 years? And then they die?
No wonder.
Mindy, only six more weeks until we our warmest weather days. Then, only six months until winter arrives. And, six weeks after summer returns. 😉
sand, did you get to hang around in saloons and play poker and down shots of rotgut and jolly the saloon girls, too? 🙂
Phooey! Losing to the machines
As promised – The Chicken Dance: http://youtu.be/AGcdGNlKifY
For GR6, http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=O2BWc1N9Cqo
I didn’t look at the YouTube (seldom do) but have actually seen the Chicken Dance, here in Southern NH, danced by wedding guests at the reception. I believe it’s a French-Canadian custom … sure as heck isn’t an Old Yankee thing! You could call it a “folk dance”, a round dance rather than a couples dance. The dancers sort of imitate the walking … maybe clucking? of the chickens. I think they tried to show me how to do it and I gave it a try. I don’t believe there was much beer, either; must have been some, but no keg.
Remember Saturday Night Live….just got to thinking about Rozanne, Rozanna. Danna doing a ‘stint’ on vellum vs,. Valium…never mind 🙂
Found this vintage 1996? footage…..I have the original speakers that came with old Dell here….envy a couple of you with true stereo , so many ‘bytes’….Ian’s Boze headphones are no more, sigh!!!
Classic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3vUKBOJ5sU
GR 😉 so that means the female locust also goes 14 years…in human life, women’s would have grown shut?
The 1995 strip was funny. And they I started looking at the March 2001 A & J, when they went to Cuba. I had never seen that arc – interesting.
But the big thing I noticed – Janis had gray in her hair! Either that, or the part around her face was frosted. Wow!
Lesson here…never trust a 28 year old virgin….read about this a couple weeks ago; was curious about the outcome.

I’m in trouble now, aren’t I?
Bad Debbe, bad. We must punish you. Come sit on the bench between GR6 and me. 😀
Debbe 😉 So, that good judgment you’d want your doctor to have before treating you? Don’t they teach that in medical school any longer? Or did she (real name, Hanna Kern) miss those classes?
Also sounds like most of the bids she got were bogus. In fact, I’d suspect that any that went over $500 probably were, as I suspect that would be about the retail value of what she was trying to peddle.
That’s enough to give virgins a bad name, isn’t it, Dearest Virgin?
I’m sure that value varies with location, how strictly the laws are enforced, supply vs demand, and the desirability of the individual.
Looks like a lot of interesting people this year at DragonCon: http://www.dragoncon.org/?q=featured_list
TruckerRon, supply is one (in the seller’s case) unlimited(in the buyer’s case). Don’t think price would go very high in legitimate bidding.
Wow. Vellum LASTS! And a certain number of books are still being printed on it today.

Good morning Villagers……
GR 😉 well, we all know what turns your crank…..vellum 🙂
Just left whether.com….all the videos reminds of a certain song’s lyrics “I can gather all the news I need from the weather report”…..”I got nothing to do today but smile” ….name that tune.
So we have a polar vortex coming in July?! I’ll take it. 54 degrees Tuesday night with the high that day low 70s.
Indiana SAM….you need to come down to Dubois County…..where he who has the biggest wedding wins…..sad, but true. Jasper is gearing up for their annual Strassenfest, talk about beer consumption. If I remember right, Dubois County has the highest beer consumption per capita in the State of Indiana…..Germans, gotta love ’em.
later…………..
Sandcastler….you’re so bad, how does Loon put up with you 🙂
Debbe 😉 Inventors…don’t you just love ’em?

“Need any help with your emergency device there, ma’am?”
Hi Debbe.
Like Arlo I come when called. Loon knows while I may bark and pant; I’am just a puppy with a soft wet tongue. And, it never hurts that I treat her like the Queen she is.
Coffee or tea cup, car keys, sunglasses, wallet, checkbook: today’s real time is the story of my life. Worse, I have to remember what I’m looking for in the first place.
