Yesterday it was Milk Duds, and today it is popcorn. I sure hope they’re going Dutch! I’m running late; I have to go draw new cartoons now.

Dave, Thanks. Didn’t realize they were viewing a different comic. I presume the drawing was a deliberate gotcha.
Peace, emb
PS. Will there be any living readers who remember WWII when the current episode of 9CL is done? Do any dailies still carry the strip?
Jackie, your day can only get better!
Ghost, hope all is well.
Jimmy, I will clean the junk drawer today in your honor. Kind of excited. I never know what I’ll find in there.
(The cleaning in Jimmy’s honor is a reference to the current real-time arc.)
What hath a confident presentation of Milk Duds, Large wrought??
Don’t know if Jimmy is watching shows on HGTV, but all of them make it seem so easy to remodel or buy a new house. My issue with the shows is that I think they tend to exaggerate the fussiness of the people looking. A few shows, the question is not which house they will buy, but how long the couple will be together after the show airs.
Jackie, on your question from a day or so back, no, I am not Jeanne Robertson. She has a couple of inches and a few years on me, and she, back in her younger days, had brown hair where mine is (or was) red. Still, thank you for the complement!
Rufus. When I was a little girl we lived in Augusta Ga, and one of our neighbors was a sergeant and a cook at the Army base (Fort Gordon). His name was Rufus G. Lynch, and one of the best men I have ever known.
Trucker, I have had to learn to text as all three of my kids seem to prefer that over actually calling and talking.
Ghost Sweetie, on your Observation #28, the problem comes in when your phone talks back to you! 🙂
eMb, on 9CL, the current arc has gone on so long I have forgotten what the original story that started it was!
Trapper Jean, do you suppose that 9CL is the artist’s comic strip equivalent of War and Peace? More material than belongs in a single story?
“I sure hope they’re going Dutch”: I sure hope they’re not ruining their appetite for dinner!!
Love this cartoon. Poor Gene, like the dog chasing the car and not sure what to do once he catches it!
Just to keep you non Facebookers in the know, our fan group is up to 590 members, up over 100 members since our mention here on the official blog. Thanks!
Jim, non Facebookers? Is that what you really call us?
I seem to recall that there are some British mystery fans here. So I’m posting this in case anyone is interested: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/11347229/Ruth-Rendell-is-in-a-critical-condition-after-suffering-a-stroke.html
Thanks, Mark. I had not seen that news. To bad… she was a master of her genre.
Back from Tulsa and got the two skin cancers taken off my face and other than that, dermatologist gave two thumbs up. I made her laugh by telling her that Mike called her his hot doctor and was looking for body parts to have her cut off. Her husband is an orthopod in same clinic as my female doctor I am seeing tomorrow at 8 a.m.
Told you all I was taking this seriously. Yesterday shocked the dentist no end by telling him I thought at 70 I wasn’t going to be a centerfold, so it was a little late to cap the two front teeth and have perfect teeth. Not sure about other improvements right now. There was an 85 year old in waiting room of dermatological clinic and she told me “Honey, you are going to step on those pants legs and trip, they are falling off you.”
I told her I realized that but didn’t find it out until I was dressed and leaving house. Still funny, so they go into the give away pile on sofa which is growing. I am with A and J about giving it all away actually.
Love, Jackie
How to tell you’re old-I woke up a few minutes ago, fed the cats and thought that it was 5 am until just now when I looked at the time down in the corner of the screen. Oh well. It has been very overcast and drizzling rain for several days.

Jerry, I do that all the time. Rarely sleep straight 8 hr., but need 9-10, so usually nap in the afternoon, 1-2+ hr. A late nap at 46+ N in Dec.-Jan means I wake up in the dark, confused. Has actually happened both ways, wake before sunup, and get ready to fix supper. Peace, emb.
Then I’m in trouble, Jean dear. My phone does sometimes talk back to me. In fact, I just asked Siri, “What is the meaning of life?” The answer was, “All evidence to date suggests it’s chocolate.”
Based on the pointless and insipid dialogue in 9CL, I’ve decided it’s really just an excuse for drawing salacious pictures.
The topic of food is a constant discourse amongst the Villagers. Many great recipes have been offered up. Regional food tastes always bring out our better sides. Having said that, I offer up this article on state by state food likes.Enjoy! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/01/14/most-popular-cuisine-state_n_6457252.html
Sand, that WAS INTERESTING! I love food, will eat almost anything, almost. But some of those are unbelievable. Peruvian? Although it is good to know as an ex-Houstonian who can never get enough Vietnamese that a trip to Washington state will yield more than one satisfaction, all the pho I can eat, bun and spring rolls,but still some of those results are totally weird!
Although I had the only duck tamales I ever ate in Utah within site of the arches, it was the photo of Bobby Flay embracing the chef that was a tipoff. But great food is to be had in any state. No Cuban? I am so looking forward to Cuban again in March and I am not flying to Cuba for it nor drifting on a boat, just going to Tampa and points south.
I found the Cambodian food I ate not as good as Vietnamese but then it was a long way from a source of fresh herbs unless they grew their own.
So, tomorrow while I am in Tulsa I need to hit an oriental market for bags of bean sprouts and herbs. My recently promoted “staff” can cook and is having fun with all the stuff I buy and bring in. And I keep feeling like Martha Stewart has come to work for me, which is just fine. I like that, in fact I love that.
Ghost, how is your mom? You are being awfully quiet lately and I worry.
Love, Jackie
Pretty interesting article there, sand.
And Siri is wrong, Ghost. It’s 42. 😉
On 9 CL I concluded long ago that the only thing that would stop the endless saga of WWII porn was for the papers to drop Brooke or we all go “kill” Martine and Bill too to be safe.
I am no prude but are children so inured with television porn now that they don’t notice this stuff? Repeat, I am no porn prude exactly, well not much anyway, but I cannot imagine how Martine performing oral sex a la Bill Clinton made it past the censors. Or is anything now allowed?
This from the woman who just bought Charlotte’s Web for her grandson and decided I’d watch it again for me. I’d rather watch/read something really well done than poor plot, poor dialogue and mediocre drawing.
However, I did buy Tom Cruise in Top Gun for myself and I will not tell Mike’s joke about me and cruises, not in good taste. Next project is to find out if we own a DVD player and how to work it.
How many blondes does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Love, Jackie
And go to my emails and there big as life is an offer for “Great Deals On Cruises” but I know it isn’t the one I would want.
Went and read 9 CL and there is hope yet. Remember Pulp Fiction? Maybe she and Bill will kill each other.
Denise, are you carrying a towel?
