This cartoon originally ran in January of 2010. Thought it might bring about some cool thoughts on this hot summer day. Probably not, but I still think it’s a funny strip.
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?
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”!
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”).
I’m happy for any couple that has a baby, but I guess I don’t understand the fascination with “royal” babies. So this kid will never have to work, big deal.
I guess it’s a handy feature for work’s sake, but it bugs me that–when I’m in my car–the stereo system will pause the music so I can answer the calls. I’d much rather just miss the calls.
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)
