Zinfandel?

There really is a street in town with this name. I don’t think any of the other streets are named for drinking, though.

Temperance Zone

I was reading about the temperance movement and this just came easily to mind.

Laryngologist

Yes, I looked it up and it is actually spelled correctly in the first frame. When I have heard it pronounced, people say it as if that G is a C. They’re wrong.

As Much as I Hate the Term “Randos”

Some of my favorite old Cottage & CO cartoons were the single-panel, one-off gags. Think “Rubes” meets “Mister Boffo”.

Very Punny, Mister!

I’m pretty sure there are forms of humor that are lower than puns. And most above and below aren’t as funny. So why do we groan at puns?

Punters in America

I’m not sure I know what this means. I read a lot of British literature and it seems like “punters” can mean either people in little boats or just people walking on a path. No, I’m not going to bother looking it up.

THAT Kinda Pond, Eh?

This one was actually thought of by my wife. Judos to Martha!

They Mock

There was a mockingbird in our backyard recently that had an amazingly varied repertoire. I just got thinking about them mocking us, and hence came this cartoon.

Spelling as a Way of Life

I think this came about as my wife was telling me about a spelling bee at her school. I also thought about doing it as a riff on Aunt Bee.

Blood Worker

I don’t want to read this book. Probably printed with green ink that would get all over your hands.
