I have a doozey of an excuse this morning! My neighbor is having a driveway poured. She knew she was going to have a yard of the stuff left over, and she offered it to me. So, I’ve been up since dawn moving junk out from around my garage and building concrete forms, to make a work space. The concrete truck is here as I write, but here’s the next installment of “The Christmas Caller.” We will get back around to talking about comic strips.

The concrete truck ate your homework? Oookay.
So the concrete truck ate your homework? Oookay.
Welp, gonna be one of those days when it takes the comments a while to post, I ss.
Poor Gene. I remember a similar situation when I was working checkout at my father’s store and someone came along with a box of sanitary napkins.
Re 8-20-20 real-time cartoon: Ah, the mysterious and magical brassiere. Object of many boys’ (of all ages) fancy and fantasies. Little did Gene realize one day ML would have (and wear) a “45%-tip” top. Possibly braless, one would think, to command that level of gratuity.
Regarding Gene’s reaction in the classic, I’m assuming he’s blushing as well as mentally freezing… Which raises the question of why do we blush? What evolutionary advantage, if any, is there?

JJ-
Are you laying rebar? If not, your concrete may end up cracking and falling apart in a few years.
Hopefully at least concrete mesh. 🙂
I was a “rod buster” on my summer job during college. I tied miles of horizontal and vertical rebars. We were building a sewage-treatment plant.

I once had a concrete truck fill my red convertible with concrete while I ate lunch in the school cafeteria. It covered all the school books and class notes I left on back seat. Obviously top was down.
Arguably even worse than what happened to Biff Tannen’s black 1946 Ford Super DeLuxe convertible. At least the manure cleaned off.
Man you could write a week’s worth of strips if Arlo got a yard of concrete…
Obviously Mary Lou was an early developer physically and mentally. I related to her because I got my first bra at 8. I was not excited, I was mortified. It was 1952 and they did not make kiddy bras, it was a hideous white quilted full coverage bra like the kinds featured in Sears catalog.
Easy to see how she ended up pregnant with Meg as a too young teen. By age 12 adult men were groping me, trying to proposition me, asking me to go to hotel rooms! Concede they had no idea my age but……
Jimmy hit the too old child with no parental guidance so correct in Mary Lou. We make mistakes but we are tough and too old too fast.
I recall reading an old Dick Tracy story that had an older politician involved with a 20-something woman. It ended badly for him, and Tracy’s final comment on the situation was “Too soon old, too late smart”.
