OK, here’s the strip you were so excited about yesterday. You can thank “Jim” for providing the date, enabling me to find it. I drew this over eight years ago. How is that possible?

I’m thinking about planting a vegetable garden this spring. I know some of you are gassing up snow blowers this weekend instead of rotary tillers, but I’ll bet you’re thinking about it, too. “Never plant your garden until after Good Friday.” That always has been the admonition in the south. Good Friday was early this year, however, so I’m just going to think about it a couple more weeks.
