If you don’t get this joke, ask your parents … or grandparents. Also, I miss the discussions of woofers and tweeters and analog vs. stereo and what kind of cactus spine makes the best turntable needle.
This joke didn’t work at all with the animals, so I brought back Burt and Smitty from “Cottage & CO”. And yes, I know it’s not quite spring, yet, but in my mind Burt & the gang are always boys of the green diamond on summer days.
“Cottage & CO”, starring Burt Cottage, was the strip I drew years ago, before “Tuttle’s”. Seeing these characters again is like running into a dear old friend. I drew them today (my birthday, by coincidence) because this punch line just didn’t work with any of the characters in “Tuttle’s”.
