Today’s oldie is from September, 2003. The road show continues. I’m somewhere in the Maine woods right now, but I’ll be in Burlington, Vermont, Saturday and Sunday for the Vermont Comic Con. The way it actually happened a few months back, I first signed up for the VCC. I read some nice things about it online, and Vermont in August sounded a lot more appealing than home in August. Then, I happened to discover that the Boston Comic Con would be two weeks earlier, so I figured I would do them both, as an experiment. As I’ve discussed briefly with you already, Boston was a qualified success. Vermont will be a different sort of venue, and I’ll give you a longer run down about it all after this weekend. Meanwhile, on with the show!

Good morning Villagers….
Thank you Smigz.
Thanks for the belated birthday wishes Old Bear.
Indy Mindy, couldn’t bring up the pics…
So glad for Jackie and Jerry fulfilling their dreams…happy sailing and happy trails to you both.
Got the new yesterday that the United Egg Producers were to be at our building next Wednesday. Los of cage repair to be done, there is to be no more than 5 hens per cage, any more than that we’re sunk. We are only allowed one error there, two….we lose our 5 star rating and The Corp will probably shut us done. They want to get rid of us anyway…the middleman…and the price of eggs right now is very unprofitable.
So, it’s back to scraping……
have a blessed day one and all
any guesses on what kind of cat this is…..

I just woke up and read current strip. Is that a dog, Fluffy Ghost or the pond that Ludwig is looking at?
It is early and room is dark, phone is small and I can’t tell.
Today’s ‘Pibgorn’ [Wahoo Terminal] is neat:

Peace,
Debbe: Beats me, but the cat obviously has delusions of phaeronic grandeur. Gotta check sp. of phaeronic. The huge cat below looks to be calico, therefore female.

Peace,

Jackie: ‘Is that a dog, Fluffy[‘s] Ghost, . . .?’ Since Fluffy is now only bones [Janis commented / small skull size], it must be Fluffy’s ghost. Perhaps JJ believes the 9-lives bit, Ludwig may be seeing the cat he is a reincarnation of. Billions of people believe stranger things. Peace,
the 9-lives bit:
I read it as Fluffy’s spirit resting peacefully, Jackie. She’s content near those she loved.
Debbe, fingers and toes crossed for next week…prayers for the best possible outcome, too.
The current story arc touches many of us lucky enough to have had animal companions.
emb, I like your explanation very much. You are so thoughtful…a true philosopher.
My cats and dogs often stared at and followed things they saw but I didnt.
We’re always saying-we wish we knew what they were thinking.
No smoke at Yellowstone. It must be cold there. Everyone is wearing a jacket.
Back on the road with sailboat again heading for z columbus, Ohio, Indianapolis, Indiana and St. Louis, Missouri. Not a good time to visit with Gallery in Florida, Mindy about blown away and Debbe scraping chicken cages.
Maybe I can see Llee in Joplin area. Going to Tulsa.

‘. . . a true philosopher.’ I’ve been called other things. Came to the conclusion, actually while still at Cornell and later U. MI., that the best profs were those both extolled and despised, and managed to achieve that 36 years teaching at BSU. I could get a swelled head, and I love it. Right now I’m an amateur columnist and theolog, and professional procrastinator.
Peace,
Old Faithful Geyser is predicted to erupt at 9:54am ± 10 minutes Mountain Time. Just watched a trio jump vertically for a picture. Yep, they’re wearing jackets at 49° F.
I got quietly teary over today’s final strip in the weeklong series about Fluffy. Not because I’ve buried a pet, but rather because I have one now (a wonderful goldendoodle dog) and I know that terrible day will inevitably come. Well done JJ. How often does a “mere” comic strip strike that kind of emotional chord.
My yard has been filled with buried cats and dogs.I cannot imagine not having Dickens the Adventure Dog.
Yes. It touched me too.
Baton Rouge is recovering. Water has gone down but piles of ruined lives are still very prominent in the streets and will be for a while. Things can be replaced but at least 13 lives were lost. Rest in peace, fellow citizens. God bless us every one. God bless America. God bless Louisiana.
God save Louisiana and all who love her. I do.
Not sayin’ I’ve been sick or anything, but I was giving serious thought to what I wanted my last words to be. Unfortunately, the best I could come up with were already taken, by Jack Daniel: “One last drink, please.”
I hope to rejoin the fray tomorrow.
Please don’t make me have to come place one red rose on your grave Ghost. I did that for Jack Daniel’s. I also got a personal two women and a baby tour of the distillery and they mailed me a signed copper plate etching of Mrs. Bobo”s Boardinghouse by the artist. they had used for their New Yorker ad. Going down road in Illinois, bumpy and not fun.
Please get well.
Here’s some fascinating music being played on a piano made from recycled materials:

Safely in Effingham, IL. You should have seen Dickens put his head down and plough down the sidewalk like the ten pounds lead dog running the Iditarod. He said “This is the motel at long last woman so pull out that credit card fast.”
Could barely keep up with him running and he’s on bed asleep already.
This should help Ghost recover. Go top less day for women is this Sunday.
