If you would like to ‘favorite’ the strip, (and maybe the sketch, too), simply log in and click on the ‘Favorite’ star directly above the strip. Mr. McEldowney very kindly asked for us what purpose is served by favoriting, and this was the answer:
I asked my editor at Gocomics about the purpose of “favoriting” a strip. Her answer was this: “‘Favoriting’ allows people following you to see what comics you like. ‘Favorited’ comics also show up under your profile, and allow us to see what comics people are enjoying.”
Basically, I think it provides a method for spreading the word.

Fly Guy says:
“Brooke even got the garter belt in the shot.”
.
Yeah - at first i was wondering why the seam went past the top of the stocking…
.
In fact, the sketch omits the stocking top and makes it look as if she’s wearing pantyhose.
.
I shall omit mentioning that this strip seems to feature two moons.
.
Well, a full moon and a half moon.
.
9CL: The heels are over. What diresction is Amos looking in the final panels?
fatuncle said, 6 months ago

One of these days, fear-ciuil, you are going to have to tell me how you consistantly get the first post in.

Garters + Gorgeous Gams = GAAAAAAHHHH!!!
Sisyphos said, 6 months ago

And she did it in her very high heels (a bit of 9CWL crossover)!

Let me know what death is like on Jupiter & Mars…
Sisyphos said, 6 months ago

9CWL: mid-thigh length, high-necked, sheath dress. –With a slit up to the hip-bone? Is it red? Does it matter?
Wow! [Re-sets eyeballs back into sockets.]
Fairportfan said, 6 months ago

Sisyphos says:

“And she did it in her very high heels…”

Really spiked that one, huh?

Careful, wndrwrthg; were she to overhear your comment, you’d be, as they used to say, “cruisin’ for a bruisin’”!

I wonder how often Sysiphus visted his chiropractor?

Mini-donuts on the sideboard!
Sisyphos said, 6 months ago

Joe_Minotaur, one of our most creative, Happy (fxstmnp-mumble mumble)th Birthday!
ejcapulet said, 6 months ago

I warned him yesterday. I hope he’s learned his lesson: never to get within reach of a woman with glowing red eyes.
The Old Wolf said, 6 months ago

@Joe Minotaur

Happy Birthday

and many, many happy returns!

Wow, whot a kick! :D

9CWL: Guh. Guh. Guh. That is all.
baslim_the_begger said, 6 months ago

Just pointing out that due to relative positions in first frame, the kick was not to the posterior, but a rather sensitive area…

9CWL, no just the right height to slip a hand…

Hmm that was an interesting take on Sisyphus…
Saskfan said, 6 months ago

Sorry; Happy Birthday Joe! (said through bubbles from underwater.)
Joe Minotaur said, 6 months ago

Thank-you!
I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll BLO-O-O-O-OW those candles out!
…but first I’ll need some oxygen.
Said the Miner Forty-Niner goodness gracious, Clementine!
Margueritem said, 6 months ago

Happy Birthday, JOE, and many , many more! ♥

Happy birthday, Joe! So just HOW many times have you turned 21?

@baslim:
Yes, and it would have been every bit as alliterative as punt to posterior.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY and ALL THAT JAZZ !
GrumpyOldbear said, 6 months ago

Joe -H/B
.
Old Wolf =At Gettysburg= if they still have them (it has been 25 years) get the guided tour where a park service guide drives your car. You get to rubberneck without worrying about traffic and you get to ask questions before the spot is gone.
And you were able to pace the tour to your own interest.
Every one I have ever talked to that has been there senses an aura.
While we were there they were making “Gettysburg” at Eisenhower’s
farm. Standing on Big Round Top with cannon fire in the distance sent chills up and down my spine.
.
Again be safe

That Sisyphus short was nomionated for an Oscar in the “Best Short” class in 1975. Some public affairs program on PBS used to use it behind its end credits.
Joe Minotaur said, 6 months ago

Remarkable demon, the Norwegian Succubus, beautiful plumage.
Joe Minotaur said, 6 months ago

Thank-you Gents and Gams! Good-night!
Nabuquduriuzhur said, 6 months ago

pardon me, ma’am, but what the h— are “gams”??

Not coming from the east coast…
Sisyphos said, 6 months ago

Legs,Nabuquduriuzhur, gams are legs!
–And don’t call me “ma’am”!
Fairportfan said, 6 months ago

The current Manage a 3 strip {http://www.menagea3.net/d/20090514.html} - which is definitely NOT Safe For Work - features (aside from the tall blonde girl in the Black Canary costume who isn’t, and the frolicking couple in the final panel) a sneaky little artistic touch in one panel that is rather on the level of some of Honorable Master’s extra-touch gags - “Senator Stuhlgang”, forsooth!
.
(Agggh! I never noticed that Gary’s gay ex-roommates are named Matt and Dillon!)
Fairportfan said, 6 months ago

BTW: Happy happy, Joe.
Phaze58 said, 6 months ago

About Pibgorn

A fantastic saga of adventure both high and low, of forbidden passion and iambic pentameter, of fays, fools, organists, demons, accordions, heaven, hell and Shakespeare, Pibgorn follows the whims and flights of its eponymous fairy heroine as she plies her conviction that there must be more to life than depositing dew drops on dandelions and sleeping under mushrooms.
