Call of …

There’s a joke in here but maybe I’m the only person who cared about it: Tuttle is always writing these novels and screenplays with punnish, derivative titles that–as far as we know–fail like all of my novels. Phydeaux’s stupid scatological game caught on, though.

Chesterton, Buddy, ChesterTON!

I remembered this strip and it’s hard for me to believe that’s it’s already been 4 years since I did it. Seems like it was just months ago. But then, I also remember that I was so struck by that quote that I used it in my novel Ashes to Ashes (see it at http://garisonfitch.com/book/ashes-to-ashes-the-last-valley-book-1)

Who has The Disease Again?

he only person who’s thought of this … but I hope I’m the first to draw it.

Yes, Yes It Is

Even as a kid, I thought the original words of the song were incredibly stupid (even if catchy).

BIG Screen TV!

I really thought about getting a bigger TV at Christmas, when they were ostensibly “on sale”, but then it occurred to me that the big, flat screen TV I have works just fine. Maybe next year.

Tap Tap Tap

I remember taking piano lessons and one of the many problems with my playing was that metronomes had absolutely no affect on my ability to pick a rhythm and stay on it.

Skunked ‘Em!

Better than the name of our local minor league team.

Lackey AND Toadies

The dentist I went to all my growing up years, who was also our orthodontist, had himself and a lady who was a receptionist. Now, when I go to the dentist, there’s 3-4 people at the front desk, 6 or 7 cubicles with a dental hygienist in each, and then seems like a dozen other people running thither and anon. And then, the dentist himself makes a 30 second appearance just at the end. The MD’s office is the same way.

Contradictory Advice

I remember getting this exact advice as a kid.

So Fisty Kayshun

I never watched “Dukes” while it was new. A few months ago, I watched an episode on Amazon Prime. Entertaining … but dumb! I’ve watched a few more since then, and my opinion hasn’t changed. BTW, “binge-watching” for me means that in the last 6 months I have watched 8 episodes.
