When I was a boy…

This strip is a bit out of the sequence in which I drew this series, but it doesn’t really matter. I’m showing it to you now, because obviously it’s Veterans Day, as it was when the strip originally appeared in 1999.

What th’ heck! I’m in a good mood this morning. Just to keep you from looking it up in the archives on your own, I’m going to go ahead and show you the next strip in the sequence as it first ran in newspapers.
