    Saddle shoes were designed for thumbs. Might want to go for the Sketchers.

    Scooter works quite hard to reach his goal of not tripping on the shoelaces…

    Scooter masters this skill in the future, I believe. Or is it the past?

    Scooter is pairing his right front shoe with his left rear, and his right rear will go with the left front. He is not easily discouraged!. A style pointer for all who would choose the quadruped option.

    I have heard of a “dog and pony” show. But a “dog and piper” show? Never! Therefore = original = kudos.

    That’s hysterical!

    So glad they’re staying safe!

    (Dunno about sane…. )

     

    Happy Fourth of July, Everybody!

    Even those of you in other countries… after all…. you have a fourth in your July, too, right?

    Well… have a happy one!

     

    Meanwhile… once again… a little Independence Day music, for our marching band:

    https://archive.org/details/MusicOfTheRevolutionaryWar/EarlofDorchestersMarch.mp3

     

    It starts with the tune I picked out for such a small band…

    If you let it keep going it runs through lots more.

    Or you can just go to

    https://archive.org/details/MusicOfTheRevolutionaryWar/

    and choose your own.

    Yup; that’s exactly what I’ve expected from Nighthawk’s description yesterday. Or is that a _pre_scription?

    We’ll have an American friend over this afternoon/evening – usually, there are parties here in Munich on the 4th, but not this year.

    I had hopes that the evil cat next door would be marching with Cleo in a one day truce. Maybe that evil cat is waiting till this evening to set off fireworks and scaring Cleo and all her friends so they will hide under the bed. Happy 4th of July to everybody. Maybe next year, we can go without masks, or the year after that.

    It’s always confusing trying to figure out when to start the fireworks…

    especially on the comics, right?

     

    This is the July 4th strip… and it’s dark out here… perfect for our symbolic “bombs bursting in air”.

    But I’m writing this very early in the morning… having not gone to bed yet…. so it still feels like July 3rd.

    I was growling to myself a few hours ago about some kids out in the street lighting real fireworks…

    not only because they’re annoying, and dangerously close to my car…

    and also totally illegal in this county, in the height of fire season….

    But besides all that, it was only the 3rd.

     

    As for my virtual ones, though…. It may be the 4th now… but we don’t set them off pre-dawn… do we?

    If I wait till dark on the real 4th of July, it’ll be almost time for the July 5th strip.

    So…. let’s just all pretend it’s Saturday night!

    You might want to start up the music again:

    HAPPY 4TH!

    Feel free to watch them again Saturday night, if, like me, you won’t see real-life fireworks.

    Eat some fried chicken, or whatever vegan substitute you must… pop open a cold one…. of whatever ilk… you can open any of the above links larger, in its own window…

    but it’s a bit harder to see them all at once that way.

    So just use Neil Wick’s GC links to watch them all right here in this comment.

     

    Watch our marching basset band on Sherpa, in another window, with the music playing in a another…. which you can minimise.

    Yay!

    Quarantine 4th of July!
