The Elderberries by Corey Pandolph and Phil Frank and Joe Troise
Endtown by Aaron Neathery
Marty Links was the creator of the comic strip “Emmy Lou” which ran in newspapers all over the world for over 35 years. Marty Links was a pioneer-- a woman cartoonist at a time when the cartoon business was really a boy’s club. For over 40 years, Marty would whisk through the San Francisco Chronicle city room delivering a weekly batch of cartoons with the same gusto as Emmy Lou would.

An unleashed puppydog! I remember when leash laws were first being enacted in whatever neighborhood it was where I lived at the time. And in today’s comics, Fred Basset & Co. seem to be able to run around on their own quite a bit, too. Not my basset. Whenever he escapes the yard, the neighbors bring him home or call us, because they’re afraid he’ll get hit by a car.

And the girls have no backpacks! I well remember carrying a full armload of books around all day every day, and no complaints about it, either. It’s just the way it was.

Hi Annieb1012! I always respected kids that took that much homework home…because I sure didn’t! Big dog lover here too. I had 3 off leash—always picked up after them though!

True that! We must think for tomorrow for what we do today affects it.

I could have used a back pack in Summer school. So many books!
