Butt! Butt! He said, “Butt!” Believe me, it was not easy to slip such profanity into the comics back in the good ol’ days of United Media. Over at Universal Press Syndicate, strips like Doonesbury and Bloom County had been using words such as “damn” and “hell” and “snugglebunnies” for years, but UM prided itself on upholding a very old and rigid standard in the comics. “Butt” was a huge win for the forces of darkness. Gene and family will continue next week in the current strips, and we’ll resume our previous conversations then. I hope you enjoy your weekend!

c x-p: Think it’s a Cottontail, Sylvilagus floridanus. The G.H. Owls nr. Savannah are taking apart a Meadow Vole, Microtus pennsylvanicus. Cannot see the vole now, but I saw them when it was in plain sight. Peace,

Goodnight. In more ways than one. Leaving coast tomorrow. If I can get someone to lift the biggest Yeti known to man into my truck. Didn’t occur to me until I began cleaning the REAL fridge. We have been moving beer and soda and the food ice chests back and forth for two weeks.
I lost the volunteers! I left the new grill and smoker with the boat school for them to use.
Hey Debbe, I think you’ll like this one: http://www.pbase.com/csw62/image/40195801
Ghostly one, very reassuring to your female fans that you are a braless hunk. Guessing no thongs in your drawers neither. Spell chucker tried to replace braless with brainless; that would not have worked.
I think this is the cartoon Jackie’s looking for but I can’t find it by itself. http://www.polyvore.com/meet_artist_george_booth_cartoon/thing?id=17935112
Today’s real time is a keeper. 🙂 Work is work, and kitties make me crazy. (Blacklight somehow knows when her wet food didn’t come from Petco and won’t touch it from any other store. Exact same stuff. Three for three. Maddening.)
Not intentionally rehashing old news, but this is a tribute video to our fallen officer. It comes the closest to expressing both the raw emotion and the scope of the enormity the ceremonies. No slight against the officer intended. In my mind, his death seems to have given many a focus of grief in this general atmosphere of loss of greater good. People seem to have come from everywhere to grieve, give support, but there is a definite sense this is to help alleviate a burdern of a much larger ache. (If that makes sense.)

Dear Ruth Anne, many thanks for finding the cartoon! I do believe that it’s from 30 or 40 years ago, and it’s by Cobean — not Booth. Must look Cobean up, he was popular and prolific, long ago.
You are right Miss Charlotte I am certain. From New Yorker cartoons I am certain because that is where I have been looking.
Ghost, that is the husband and wife undressing the lady in the suit.
Now when someone finds the Kitty litter cartoon it will probably turn out to be someone else too.
Actually, it’s the one Ghost was asking for. No wonder it didn’t turn up when I was looking through the Booth comics. Thank you. I like Gahan Wilson very much too. He was in Playboy, though, not The New Yorker. And also in National Lampoon.
It is Sam Codean and he drew for New Yorker too, close friends with Addams, as in Addams Family. Died at 38. The book of cartoons was The Naked Eye. Perfect for Ghost.
It is still circulating so maybe can buy used?
Mark: He was in both; may still be in The New Yorker. No longer see Playboy. There were others in both.
Peace,
Yep…

And apparently Cobean lifted ideas from himself…

Here’s a different perspective on the cat on the bed comic.

Debbe 😉 Are you old enough to remember when a lot of instrumentals were popular? Me, neither! 🙂
