Judging from the appearance of this simple Sunday cartoon from May, 2007, I was in a hurry when I drew it. Believe it or not, it happens. Its saving grace is the joke, though; I like it. It’s humorous and—I like to think—original. That’s what you shoot for. Many times over my career, I’ve had conversations with people who ask a variation of the question, “So, you could, like, draw six months ahead and take six months off?!” Technically, the answer is, Yes. The question almost always is asked with the breath of incredulity, and I know they’re wishing they could work that way. Perhaps they could. I can’t. I can’t get so much as a week ahead, and I do try. For 30 years, I have tried. At least I am reconciled to the fact that’s the way it is. I’m just lucky to have this gig at all.

Used to make my own dumplings, pot stickers, now just usually pick up a lot of bags when I am in a good oriental grocery but Houston was the heart of great dumplings for awhile. I can remember going to small restaurants that did almost nothing else. However, Oklahoma being a trifle shy on almost any kind of oriental food, I have resorted to doing my own, along with Spring rolls. Actually had frozen ones for dinner last night. I could eat them for breakfast too, one of those things I like any time.
Hard to guess if OF is ebbing or flowing, but it looks promising. Mgt. not responsible for false alarms or wasted time. Peace, emb

Six times nine?
Is this Punny or a geometry joke

Puns for those with a higher IQ – (or the Village which may or may not be the former) 🙂
Those who jump off a bridge in Paris are in Seine.
emb: “In today’s comic [30 Mar.], where has Janis gone in the 4th panel?”
I’d guess she was passing the lamb!
To the Village: Isn’t it interesting how out of sorts we get if we can’t get here to talk to each other for a day or two??!! And isn’t it fun to get sympathy (see below), shout-outs, answers to questions, recipes, youtube links–all kinds of things from people all around the country and sometimes the world that you will probably never get to meet in person, but with whom you have become friends. I love this place.
To those who sent sympathy for UA, thanks. I mean, really–10 of 12 three-pointers in the second half?? That’s insane. (Or In Seine. I saw those on Facebook, OB.) Now I’m going to root madly for Michigan State as the only upsetter left.
LOVED the TV Ghost and Mrs. Muir. Ahhh–Edward Mulhare…. Do you look more like him or like Sean Connery, Ghost? Either one is good.
BTW—was it you who asked, Debbe? Bobby Knight is doing basketball commentary on TV, and he’s really good at it.
Well, let’s see…more hair, not as silver; eyebrows not as heavy; lips not as thin, but yeah, there is a resemblance. I can rock a tux, too. 🙂

Ghost my love, what about the accent? We from the South just cannot get the accents right.
I grant you a good vocabulary and correct word usage perhaps, but what about the voice?
Good morning Villagers…..
That was me Nancy, who asked about Knight. Now that I think about it, I do believe I heard he was a commentator…..and yes, go Michigan 🙂
Never made it to clean the other packer….got to #1 and all the teens were just showing up. There was too much drama between the older guys and the teens for me to hang around. Besides, Marleen and I had just packed 201 cases…..
Tired…..later
ya’ll have a blessed day
what’s a weekend?

…and thank you Jackie for that inspiring note….you’re not too shabby yourself 🙂 You go girl.
Lord have mercy, Great White, one of my all time favorite groups!. Actually my favorite is “Once Bitten Twice Shy”.Think I will turn off the classical piano and listen to yours AND mine. I promise Debbe, I will come visit you and you can kick the teenagers to the door for a day or so and we can go road tripping.
Used to play GW full blast in my little red sports car, blasting down the road. Not too late but maybe I would have to skip the convertible part?
Debbe, I think the Spartans would take offense at your “Go Michigan” Go Green
Ah… Edward Mulhare… I loved that show – and him! Eye candy for we females…
I like what you guys are up too. Such smart work and reporting! Carry on the excellent works guys I?e incorporated you guys to my blogroll. I think it will improve the value of my site 🙂
One thing is that while you are searching for a student loan you may find that you will want a cosigner. There are many scenarios where this is true because you might discover that you do not use a past credit score so the mortgage lender will require that you have someone cosign the financial loan for you. Interesting post.
