The Regal Eagle Tweet Supposedly, Ben Franklin wanted the turkey to be our national emblem. If it had been, would we have viewed it the way we (most of us, anyway) view the bald eagle now?
Homemade! Tweet “Braum’s” has an excellent “Black Forest Ice Cream”. “Subway” makes a good “Black Forest Ham” sandwich. That’s where this strip came from.
That’s Right, Y’all! Tweet Based on a buddy of mine whose wife drug him to the opera and he didn’t realize it was in English until after it was over and she told him it was. In the words of Andy Griffith, “Opera ain’t nothin’ but hollerin’, but it’s high-classed hollerin’.”
There’s Something About That Man Tweet This came about because a friend was into those scented candles that were supposed to improve your mood or love life or whatever. I walked into her office and the one she had going took me back to the 1980s and “Aqua Velva”. I didn’t tell her that. Now, I really hope there’s an essential oil that smells like “Hai Karate”!
UBWhat? Tweet I actually don’t know if they were the biggest reggae band of the 80s, but I needed a question whose answer was “UB40”.
House on the Back Syndrome Tweet The other characters in the strip talk about their houses and yards. It’s been understood from the beginning that Tuttle just has his shell (inside of which are a big screen TV, a Blue-Ray player, and several other amenities that he says all fit in there due to “quantum reality”).
Anyone Recall Having a Recall? Tweet I’m all for recalling politicians, but it bugs me that the position gets refilled. Let’s just leave them all empty.
Feeling Pence-ive Tweet I think congressmen (and women) should only make as much money as the median income in their home district and are banned from being lobbyists after leaving office. Oh, and they get the same health care as the average person back home, too.
Medals for Everything These Days Tweet For a clue how long this strip has been around, the character there on the left started out as the Presidential Seal in the W. administration.
Define Toxophilite Tweet I wish I could remember where I ran across the word “toxophilite”. BTW, my computer doesn’t recognize it–which proves that computers are stupid.
