I’m running a little late today. I was in the yard, uncovering all the young plants after the Big Freeze failed to materialize. I’m not complaining, mind you. The best cartoon is a marriage of word and picture; I became a better cartoonist when I consciously began to incorporate that simple fact into my own work. Sometimes, however, a good gag doesn’t need anything more than four panels of a guy watching television. A good example would be the TV-centric gags of Doonesbury. I can’t think of another one.

The other problem with prescription meds…

I’m currently held together by wires inside my heart and regulated both by a device and several powerful drugs that keep the ticker behaving. So what if the meds contribute to asthma and depression? At least my heart has shrunk to a more normal size and keeps the blood flowing!
Did no one notice that Jimmy’s comments today were a link to today’s comments?
I noticed, but I didn’t want to embarrass him by pointing out such an easy-to-make faux pas.
Speaking of easy-to-make faux pas, the last word in my post should
be comic, not comment.
Good morning Villagers….

Has anyone seen the commercial on an eczema prescription featuring a beautiful, long haired, middle aged woman (with legs that go on forever), smiling while a photographer takes pictures of her posing? In the backgrround the announcer gives all the side effects of the medication, all the while the woman is striking poses, flipping her long blond hair. First time I watched, I said out loud, “if it makes me look like her, I want some of it!” ๐
Well, my son has new glasses and is less one tooth….time for him to step up his game at work, next week is our monthly inspection and we have some a$$ busting to do.

We got a semi-freeze here. Pretty late in the year for that.
Ghost, I might be wrong, but I think ground effect vehicles (things that fly but don’t have enough wing to get above/out of ground effect) don’t require FAA licensing…
You are basically correct, Rusty. I was being facetious. But there are multiple classes of GEV’s (ground effect vehicles). Wikipedia has a pretty good entry about them, if you are interested.
