How did he end up in Kansas?

An Explanation To What I Just Posted

What do I mean by him ending up in Kansas? For those who are long-time fans of the Cartoon Network series Courage, The Cowardly Dog, “Nowhere, Kansas” is the fictional location where Courage and his elderly owners (Eustace and Muriel) live.

With all the guest appearances we been having showing up in these comic strips like Dick Tracy, Pearls Before Swine, and even this strip having Frank Nelson popping up every now and then, I wouldn’t be too surprised.

Rufus and Joel should be along any minute, now.

Ah, yes! Nowhere, NC. You’ve never been anywhere until you’ve been to Nowhere.

All we have in CT is the Nowhere Cafe and Bar.

In Oregon there’s a town called Boring. No kidding.

So we know the population of Nowhere now.

This sure is a heckuva place to have one’s 72nd birthday (next week) ! And what whatever happened to his wife and two kids, anyway?

And he’s in the middle of it.

When family and I go on a trip, I make sure my families that are at home know the trip’s directions, allowing for some alternate routes if needed and call / text when we arrive to our destination.

He is on a main road between Charlotte and Durham (or better be…) No need to walk. It will be exciting enough flagging down one of the cars whizzing past him. Ditto for the phone coverage.
