Raisn walnut bread with lemon curd, I’m so there, Cleo!

Marg - You missed the party. The pirate took us out on his boat and we mooned my neighbors. They weren’t offended though. Who could be offended by a bunch of toon butts?
Dawn said, 5 months ago
Were you hanging by your gravity boots off the boat, Cleo?
Sorry I missed the party too.

They found the pirate at Adam @ Home. He was hiding out in their attic drinking rum. Nothing new there.

Sorry I missed it, sounds like one heck of a party! I’m glad that you were able to locate the pirate.
Goodnight to you both.

Good Sunday morning Tribe!*
Looks like someone fell asleep by the fire pit. I’ll leave these warm cinnamon buns and a thermos of Doc’s coffee on the log here while I go off to church.

Peace and Love to all!

Hello to the crowd who closed up last night - cleo, Dawn, and marg
Good Morning Shikamoo.
Nice touch putting a hazardous materials sticker on that coffee thermos.
Akenta said, 5 months ago
shika you beat me this morning. I didn’t want to get out of bed. I have to run to the grocery store, so I’ll pick up something to add for breakfast. See you when I get back.
Doctor Toon

Akenta - While you’re at the grocery store will you pick me up some coffee?
I’m down to 2 cans.
johnnydoc5 said, 5 months ago
Good morning all!
What a gorgeous morning it is here.
I will catch in with you all later. I have to go to mass.
BBL.
Akenta said, 5 months ago
docT I couldn’t find the nuclear blend, but here’s some in case of an emergency.
johnnydoc5 said, 5 months ago
Ok, had more time than I thought I did, caught up on yesterday’s comments. Sorry I missed the party. I headed out of town last night to go visit family. It was a lot of fun.
Now I must head out.

Johnnydoc - Hi and bye

Yeah Wink, you’re getting something! It’s called a headache!!
Akenta said, 5 months ago
Well today is Sunday, and one thing that means for me is I randomly pick a cartoon to try in addition to my regular ones. That one has one week to impress me or it got back into the pile. This week I’ve picked Pibgorn. I know I love the artwork, but never got into the story lines. Maybe this time will be different, though I’m scared to have another chatty comment section (thought not as scared as I would be if I picked SOTU).

Don’t try this at home, kids - at least not without a crash helmet………AND a gym mat.

Your coffee is just what I need this morning doctortoon. #You guys are such party animals.
Dry

Akenta, I don’t always understand the storyline because it does get confusing, but the artwork is gorgeous, and yes, the comment section gets big there too, but they play nice like we do!
Dry

FYI. Mr. Skelton replied to us at 2 Cows. Strip still isn’t up but he said it should be soon.

Good morning Tribe. On the way back from church I picked up a double order of Krispy Kreams, including the lovely filled ones. I love fudge filled, chocolate filled and bavarian cream filled. But I got more than enough for everyone to make le pigs of themselves. Krispy Creams are like shrimp, you’ll always find room for just one more.
Rough week at work, working two desks. Drifting off to sleep at computer, smelling Chicken in the oven. Yummy and easy to make. Aw heck, why not:
Easy Chicken and Rice
in a large, greased/Pamacized casserole dish put 2 1/4 cup water, 1 package Lipton Beefy Onion Soup (recipe) 1 cup of rice. Mix well then lay about 2lbs of chicken on top (I do 2-3 breasts). Pop in oven at 400 degrees until chicken is done (about 1 to 1.5 hours). Dish out and enjoy. Also rewarms well.
Enough from Quaby’s Cook Book….at Least I don’t serve Man

Morning Dry - Thanks for the update on 2 cows, I’m only up to the Ms, it will be a while before I get back there.
(toot)
Akenta - I’ve tried off and on to get into Pib. Been a loyal reader now for several months. Very confused.
Lurked a bit on the comments, but I thought there were too many to keep up. Look what I’m doing now. LOL
cleo - fresh, hot and radioactive on the way.
Dry

Quaby, are you sure you know nothing about the disappearance of a certain Chicken?

Adding to Risitas comment.
And a CPR-certified buddy or a diffibulator. Happy Sunday all. Sounds like another wild & crazy party for le Tribe last night. Glad the neighbors weren’t offended, Cleo. Lightning, thunder & rain last night…sun & blue skies today so won’t be here, much, but will check in. Stay healthy & happy.

Quaby - I’ll take a chocolate filled. Thanks.
Enjoy your Sunday, I sympathize about work woes.
Too much to do, too little time.

Akenta said, 5 months ago
Looks like I was wrong, that guy from Overboard is a Troll. He’s back and I fed him :-( Good think Akenta is a warrior and always armed (have to get a full shot of her to put on here one day).
johnnydoc5 said, 5 months ago
Morning to everyone just getting up, hello to those already up.
Off to check out 2 cows and a chicken.
Good luck with work this week Quaby.
Doctor Toon
said,

Way to go Akenta, now I have to go back and check overboard.
If this Troll thinks the comments on Overboard are lame, I can’t imagine what he will say if he follows us here.
ROFL
Hi again, johnnydoc.
Dawn said, 5 months ago
Morning Tribe,
Coffee - I need coffee!
Hey, DocT, what were you thinking? Two cans of coffee wouldn’t be enough even for the first half hour this morning!
Thanks Quaby for the donuts - I’ll have a chocolate filled one too, please.
GO NUTS Shika!!
cleokaya
said,

Quaby - chocolate filled for me . Thanks.
Skelton left a link where you can read his strip.
Dawn said, 5 months ago
Anyone else not able to see “Overboard?”
Doctor Toon
said,
5 months ago
Dawn - Don’t worry about the coffee running out.
Virtual Nuclear Coffee is self replicating.
I can see Overboard, but Gocomics is having several glitches today.
johnnydoc5 said, 5 months ago
Hi again Doc,
I didn’t see which guy is the troll over at Overboard, is it the guy who called everyone nerds? That is a lame insult.
Doctor Toon
said,
5 months ago
johnnydoc - That’s the one. He was there yesterday or the day before (can’t remember which) saying that commenting on comics is lame.
Other people pointed out how lame it is to criticize us for being lame.
LOL

Hello Everyone! I slept late again. The girls and I stayed up late to watch “The Sisters Traveling Pants 2” and “Gran Torino.” I love Clint Eastwood. “Gran Torino” was very good.
Daaaaaaaah strip: I love how some of Wink’s fur is hanging also.

serenasakitty said, 5 months ago
Morning [afternoon, evening] all. I just got finished reading all the comments and of course I had to go check Overboard to satisfy my voyeuristic nature. I have to confess that I didn’t see any comment that was so bad. If calling me a nerd is the worst insult anyone can come up with, I don’t think I’m going to worry too much. Or is this just a conspiracy to get me to read that strip again? I used to read it everyday but it was one of the ones I had to drop or at least cut way back on because I just don’t have the time to follow all of them.
I just wanted to say thanks again to everyone who sent me good wishes yesterday. I haven’t been part of Le Tribe [AKA Yappy Nuts] for very long but I’m glad I am now.
BTW Can someone tell me how to get the happy symbols and music notes that are on some comments?
serenasakitty said, 5 months ago
BTW Doc I still have some of my grandfather’s premixed cowboy coffee, if you would be interested. I’m not really sure what he did to it, but it could be used to blast out a quarry.
johnnydoc5 said, 5 months ago
Good morning Carmy and Serena,
Carmy, I just saw Gran Torino on Friday, it was a fantastic movie.
Doc, I was thinking that too. LOL
Doctor Toon
said,

serena - I’ve heard of ‘cowboy coffee’ but can’t say I’ve ever tried it.
Flavor is secondary for me, caffeine content is primary!
Morning carmy

Just past noon here, think I’ll actually go to bed on time for a change.
P& L all.
Carmy

serena, I think we all use the”Character Map.” I used “search” on my computer to find it. It will open in a new window. I think the only fonts you can use on here are Times New Roman and Arial. There is a space where you can create your text and/or symbols. Then just copy/paste onto the comment box.
Anyone can correct me if I’m wrong, I don’t use the “map” too often.
