Speaking of saving labor, I don’t remember what was going on in the late fall of 2002, when this series would have been drawn, but it is obvious I was trying to produce a “quick” week of work. There is a lot of, shall we say, economy in the drawing. Plus, the gimmick of “answering” reader mail isn’t exactly an original one. However, life sometimes places one in a bind, even a cartoonist, but if the result is acceptable, all is well. I like to think this little series turned out well. Whatever was compelling me to hurry, I think the jokes are sharp. Sometimes, hitting a single in a pinch can be a very satisfying achievement.

Not to be confused with “moose abuse”.
Or mousse abuse.
Or Muse abuse.
Tomorrow is a travel day. I probably won’t be up before Debbe, but I’ll be right behind her. Hasta lasagna.
Mark, I think that Sand got my point and it had very little to do with Star Wars. Thunder boomers tonight. Steve Harvey went to Twitter and apologized to the Phililand. Strike two.
This Christmas season I have sorely missed the usual bunch of televised university musical productions. In the past, they’d start by Dec. 10th. This year, I have seen exactly one – from Bucknell – and that was only a day or two ago. Schedule seems to say that Mercer’s production will be shown in a few minutes – at 3 a.m. local time! For those who cannot make that hour, there is a repeat listed for 4 a.m. [no kidding].
Good morning Villagers….
They’re here, they’re here…my ‘chicks’, they’re a little small, about 16 weeks old. One looked distressed, pulled her out, she started squawking. petted her, then put my palm over her eyes and she calmed down. I had to go down three aisles and make sure the right amount of numbers were in the right cages. We have 4 more truck loads to go. (Silly me….over chicks)
Had to put down 8 roosters…..it was not a pretty sight…told the Boss I want gas. Much easier on the boys as…well, not going into detail here. So I’m going to get gassed this morning 🙂
Sand…that was a spectacular image, saved it to my pictures and it will be on my slideshow when my computer sits idle.
And Lilly Tomlin, emb is right, it is a keeper…..I remember those episodes “we’re the phone company, we don’t have to care” snort, snort 🙂
Going in at 8 ish, happy trails GR 😉
….and that sure is one ugly sweater…..
Jackie….keep on rocking hon…..I’d go with you if I could, I’m a wild and crazy kind of girl.
Ya’ll have a blessed day…………..
GR 😉 hope you catch up on posts, as this one is a classic with the Big Man…..

great finale too of him, enjoy
Mark, I meant to mention that your cat does have beautiful markings…..so she likes attention? Aren’t lap cats great? They are better than any pill or psychiatric sessions, the purr alone puts me at ease.
A Christmas come true….

All: Snail? mail. Pkg. tracked during Chr. season. It came Sat 19 D. This was in my email FROM THE SENDER this morning, T 22 D. Not bad for an inherently inefficient gubmint outfit. Peace, emb
