Today’s oldie is another from the fall of 2011. I’ve had a lot of fun with this tidbit in the strip over the years: for decades in “Blondie,” people from the mailman to complete strangers have wandered in and out of the Bumstead bath and conversed with the occupant of the tub. I mean, isn’t that a little weird?
I want to thank all those who participated in the art auction, which closed yesterday. I believe the winners purchased art at a fair price. The gallery “Faraway Places” recouped the expenses of framing and “free” shipping. And there was a bit left over for gallery and for cartoonist, yours truly. Yes, I’d call that a success.

I missed it in 1953.
Put of emergency and on way home. Not best experience.
Mark in Ttown, happened to us last night. In Opelika for the grands to ride the Christmas train at the Monkey Park, and then rode through Collinwood for the Live Christmas Story with luminaries all along drive. Could not tell if parking lights were on or off as we crept along at 10 mph. Saw where this is the 50th year this neighborhood has held this event. Was even a live camel in the mix!
Debbie from Alabama, I borrowed a car from my brother to drive from Tuscaloosa to Walt Disney World a few years ago. When it got dark I was on I10 cruising along and thought the headlights were mighty dim. As it turned out I drove for over an hour before finding out I only had the parking lights on.
