CC’s spike thought that likely upcoming future moments in 9 Chickweed Lane could be improved by a visitor from Cul de Sac. I think it works — maybe both locations are in the same neighborhood…
What more can you say when you have a naked Lio the first thing Monday morning?
The day Family Circus:
was bearable, made so by Pearls before Swine:
Of course, I got lots of “Gold Goop in a Can” ™ to gild that lily:
Me? I call it a cheap shot. 🙂
Love to see.
Pay good money to see.
Kill someone (or rough ’em up a bit) to see.
Example A: Mary Worth getting what-for.
Example B: Les Moore getting what-for (aka, “Oh, Hell NO!“, aka, “Oh, Hell YES!“).
Example C: An explanation why Jeffy Keane is the way he is.
[Mystery 46 (still unsolved): No, I don’t know why I’ve been beating up Rusty so much recently.]
Funny. You don’t think of or see a word or a phrase in forever, and then — BAM! There it is! Then you have to decide whether that’s funny, or not funny, or just plain icky.
[Also, my first (and hopefully only) Momma mash-up.]
The hoatzin is a South American bird with lots of interesting details to its overstuffed body; Mark Trail tells us all about it in the 25 Sunday 2010 strip! There’s lots of information on the Internet about it as well, and it’s worth checking out.
I think the crocodilian in the original strip was probably somewhat happier than this poor guy…
Or, “Why I don’t read Hi & Lois.” (It took me years to realize that the title of the strip was a pun. But that’s not why I don’t read it.)
The Keanes start the next 50 years of cartooning with a naked Jeffy standing in front of his mother, proudly spouting “’cause it’s my birthday!”.
All rightie then. I’m sure we can work with this.
And we can even work in a rather obtuse 7 March Bizarro cartoon, too:
And CC’s “Bunny with a Whip” comments on a seemingly innocuous panel in which Jeffy is complaing to Mommy about tonight’s vegetable de jour: “Jeffy should respond to this disappointment like he does all disappointments, by shocking his mother with nudity.”. Let’s see!
Yup! Still works (at least on a very surreal level)…
