I realized this morning that I had inadvertently skipped one of the cartoons from the above sequence, the one about 10,000 comic-strip writers being out of work, which isn’t as funny as it once was. Anyway, here’s a bonus cartoon for today, two strips about Arlo up a tree.

Jackie, I got a laugh in a store yesterday. Was standing in line and saw this: one magazine titled Discovery’s Big Book of Sharks and nest to it was a celebrity magazine with the K sisters on the cover. Wonderful product placement!
And another good one is gone: http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/tv/2014/07/20/actor-james-garner-appreciation-robert-bianco/12909399/
Back when we landed on the moon I refused to own a t.v. set, so we watched at a neighbor’s. My grandmother who raised me refused to believe we had actually gone to moon and was a conspiracy theorist (or fundamentalist religion or both) My best friend’s grandfather was minister at huge African American church in New Orleans and preached a sermon on same motif.
Friend was so embarrassed. She said at least my granny had a more limited congregation! We decided that except for major issue of skin colors, we should introduce them, as both were single having outlived spouses.
I was not born into an Anglican family. Dropped off by aliens instead of a stork.
Love, Jackie Monies
So, the conspiracy theories have to do with fundamentalist religion? Call me crazy, but I sure haven’t read anything in the Bible that says that man couldn’t go to the moon. Maybe somebody could enlighten me.
Charlotte, I may be thoughtless, and, I am told, frequently am, but almost never am sarcastic. 😛
A book has many pages; an ebook has a single page.
My question to conspiracy theorists (moon, JFK, etc.) would be this – How many people can be involved in something and ALL of them keep it a secret, especially when there would be money to be made by revealing it?
Lack of understanding of the history of technology helps to feed some of their ideas. Sure it would be easy to fake some of the images we’ve seen – with today’s resources. Not so easy with the computers of the 1960s and 2″ videotape on a reel-to-reel machine the size of a large refrigerator.
Because I was looking for a Brown Eyed Girl, not a Brown Eyed Woman! Thank you, Ghost. Always look for women, not girls is a good rule for life.
That is a truly beautiful song and video as well. You have good taste in music, by the way.
I love Righteous Brothers so have no idea why I’d not heard it?

Hey, I’m still a girl. Ask anybody 😀
GR6, is Lily still a girl? 😉
Funny, I had ancestress who were left at age 15 to take care of farm in wilderness, had child already, middle of winter freezing in log cabin, chopping own wood, nursing another young male farmhand who was critically ill, delivered her own baby in middle of all this, cared for any animals still alive. I don’t think she was a girl, I think by then she qualified as a strong woman.
It slips my mind where the heck the husband was in all this but I’d venture he was off “adventuring” somewhere? Funny, I remember her and not him?
Some people become women and men too ahead of schedule.
Love, Jackie Monies
Well, Jackie, for me, the girl ship hasn’t sailed yet. Let alone that child part. Tie that one up in quarantine, Mr. Health Inspector 😛
Lily, you opened the door for GR6. Standby boarding party!
You guys are funny! With men it’s called a Peter Pan complex. Now Wendy, that’s another whole can of different worms. Wendy complex people want to mother the young male childs.
I can’t remember what women who want to stay girls are called?
Husband is asking for leftover meat loaf lunch!

Jackie, I call my girl-wife a Princess.
The Man In My Life calls me shorty, short stuff, gremlin, smurf, brownie, and cutie, but never “Princess.” My dad calls me “sweet baby dumpling” and has ever since I can remember.
Wouldn’t a conspiracy that no one knows about be an oxymoron? A conspiracy can go from a secret to public knowledge and that doesn’t change the fact that it began as a conspiracy. It also doesn’t preclude disagreement about all of the facts. There is still disagreement about Dr. Mudd and the woman who was hanged with the Lincoln conspirators. UFO’s have been seen by large crowds of people and captured on film and there is still controversy. To live on top of an active earthquake fault line is to deny reality.
To quote Benjamin Disraeli, “I don’t believe a word of it.” Somebody would have talked by this time. Paranoia is not one of my faults. Being a smartie and an attention hog are two that are. 😀
Being in a magnanimous mood, I will simply concede that Lily is still a girl. 😉
Jackie, I believe the female version of a “Peter Pan” would be a “Princess Pan”. And one sign that she is a Princess Pan is that she will sleep with a Peter Pan. (What other woman in her right mind would?)
Ref whether the moon landing was real, I will simply observe that back in the day, the people who thought the landing was faked were very often the same people who thought professional wrestling was real.
Lily:
‘Get ‘em, Buzz. Of all silly theories, I have never understood that one. What would be the point?’
Maybe the point was that someone suddenly realized there was no conspiracy theory about that subject. That seemed suspicious to them, so . . ..
Was in Never Neverland at the time of the moon landing. Only conspiracy I recall was against the First Sargent.

I checked the History Channel 2 schedule earlier, and I was disappointed to find no listing for any shows that examined the theory that NASA contracted out the Apollo program to aliens.
GR6, that information is still classified
1. LOVE Stone Soup. Probably next favorite after A&J, or maybe also just after Pickles.
2. I have always said that I don’t mind getting older, since I plan never to “grow up.”
