19 years of dealing with ‘The Shoppers at Walmart’? You have my condolences and I acknowledge the strength to do that long stretch. I worked at my first ocean transportation 19 years before I was laid off and the second one 18 years—- about 3 months shy of 19 years—-before I was let go (not my fault). I had just about every form of co-workers, shiftless, shopping on line while I’m slammed by phone call after phone call, alleged illness,, Karen’s and the male equivalent. I wish you well and good sailings as you appear to be heading for year 20.
Comics not to be funny or entertaining, but rather make a political statement at a level we peons might be able to understand? Comics can be humorous and make political or social commentary. Look at Doonesbury, Bloom County or Shoe for examples. We come to the Comics Page to get a laugh with our political or social problems. and to get your mind off the political and social situations try reading some of the older comics in reprint like Calvin and Hobbs or Peanuts, or even newer comics like Breaking Cat News, for laughs that will have your eyes leaking.
Testing….having problems with a ghost URL which is blocking my comment, TaviCat and Thatababy, well those are the two that it’s objecting to, insert those two after ‘breaking cat news’
I watched The Jack Benny Show when it was being aired long time ago. My most favorite bit was when he said he’d been asked how he could maintain 39 years as he was getting older and older. He said it was a trick, the camera was further back from him. To prove it he had the cameraman come closer and closer and closer until his face was very wrinkled. I realize now that was probably a trick using prosthetics or somesuch, but I laughed so hard as that camera got closer and closer.
I remember when MAD was in black and white and the only slick pages were the front and back cover. Once it went all slick and higher priced the quality of the contents were lousy—and no amount of magazine-slick colored paper could help that. I miss the old MAD
