   Hey JAD, re. your post from yesterday:
   Another thing you didn’t recall.
   I made my post before you did. Check posts for 10/31

   Aryalover: Spotted your note from yesterday, tipped the hat to it.

   Is that a wishing well? Maybe they should wish they were where they left the gold. :))

   Hey, it can’t be any more absurd than what else is going on…

   So, Aryalover, I overlooked what you posted. But, my posting was more detailed than yours, sir, or madam.

   I had forgotten that the traces were the two straps, chains, or ropes by which a draft animal, horse or ox, draws a vehicle.

   But, I had drawn an example of what I had posted and you look at it, you would have pointed to the straps on each side of one of the animal and said, “Those are traces.”

   The last time I drove a team of animals on a farm was when 15 years old in the summer of 1958.

   The wagon moved in the imagination of Steve Skelton and he used (fictional) phantasie to make it happen apparently.

   But, you have to imagine that the wagon moved, since there is no visible proof that it did.

   Please notice that the artist left of some of the straps which were on the cows yesterday. What happened to those?

   But, what do you expect when the artist draws the town/city that is next to the farm with a whole lot of buildings which are exactly alike.

   That would have to be a “wishing well.” You certainly cannot draw any water from it.

   How far did that wagon mysteriously move anyway?

   If the cows were irritated by Chicken saying “Giddyup” too many times, the wagon might not have moved at all.

   ADDED NOTE: The wagon on Saturday, October 31, 2009 was blown up the NEXT DAY and the wagon we see now is not the same one Chicken built previous.

   I DO THINK THAT THIS STRIP IS FUNNY AND EVEN FUNNIER THAT A “male” CHICKEN LOOKS MORE LIKE A “hen” THAN A “rooster.”

   Its also funny that the cows are supposedly milked twice a day every day; but, without udders, it is utterly impossible to do that.

    I think this comic is extremely funny, and I don’t even spend hours analyzing it.

    Johanan Rakkav - From yesterday.
    Sometimes a bad example is a good teacher.

    Shelley Duvall once said: “I never let a fantasy get away, because I always stop to analyze it.” She at least created new versions of those fantasies in “Faerie Tale Theatre.” I cannot think of any purpose served by over-analysis of the minutiae drawn in this comic strip. Sometimes I marvel at how well-thought out some of these cartoons are, but it would be a waste of my time to intricately find fault with every ‘error’ within. It is, after all, a cartoon and some individuals could analyze the joy out of life. There are those that create humor and those that I take great pains to avoid because of their lack of humor.

    “There seems to be no lengths to which humorless people will not go to analyze humor. It seems to worry them.”
