As someone who continues to buy custom-made stuffed animals for herself despite being, or so I’m told, “an adult”…GO WOMAN! My glow-in-the-dark fox and I are on your side!
Yet another strip which I am certain is in no way connected with real life and is completely the product of the author’s imagination. (I mean, who would put a hat on The Child?)
I think the Woman is wishing for another baby. One toy for two children is only going to make conflict. Unless it is like in Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children (2016) where twins are fighting over one toy and the solution is to rip the toy in half!
I love the look on the girl’s face as the boy cuddles baby creature! And the man when he says “ you’ve got to share” ! When the woman is cuddling baby creature…. Forget buying two, she obviously should have bought four!
This is how the aliens conquer us… not with death rays, but insidiousl cuteness.
Actually, aliens will not be green, they’ll look like small wooly dogs. Ever notice how many small wooly dogs there are? Ever notice that there are more and more of them with each passing decade?
Yesterday was a bit busy, and today I went back to hospital, where I was attacked with needles and knives again. This time they stole my gall bladder. They have divided it into three parts, and no doubt will use it for nameless midnight rituals. I’ll be discharged tomorrow, like France in the 60s, de-galled.
The only stuffed thing around here is Petey’s dog that he stole from the pile of Christmas gifts that I had on the upstairs bed for my grandchildren. I bought a ‘bed dog’ that lays flat, sorta, for Sarah’s college dorm room and Petey got on the bed and took over the dog. I still have it and can still see him kneading that dog for all it’s worth.
That show, The Mandalorian is an incredible success for Disney and Disney Channel. If you have the opportunity to watch the first season, I highly recommend it.
Also, at our local library they have a Baby Yoda doll by the book return and I listen to people give ‘oohs, aahs’ towards the doll while they return their books.
Must be a generic alien baby. Pretty sure you would need permission and a lot of cash to publish Baby Yoda. Girls motherly instinct seems to be questioning the viablity of this one
Baby Yoda’s lullaby was the bane of a family friend’s existence when it came out while she was in junior high school. “Hey, Eileen, you’ve got something on your shirt!”
My coworker got me a toy stuffed squirrel for Christmas. Not because of my nickname, but due to all the distractions that come in through the day with everyone wanting me to solve their issues. After about the 4th time trying to remember what I was initially doing, I had got in the habit of yelling SQUIRREL! We sit it in various locations to see if customers notice. I got a sign to go with it last week that says "I do not have ducks. Or a row. I have squirrels, and they are Everywhere!
Almost all of my childhood stuffed animals were destroyed when my mom’s basement flooded. But I have a pile of beanie babies, most inherited from her (most of the ones I bought came from McDonalds). And still have a small Pound Puppy that someone gave me for Christmas years ago. It was adopted as a cuddle buddy by Blackie Jane and I’ve kept it in her memory.
Today is International Mud Day. Indeed, mud is very international, no place is home without it … and of course, the pigs are celebrating. So should we—we may owe our existence, and all life on earth, to mud.
Most people take mud for granite, and while it’s true that some mud started out as granite, a lot of it “started out” as any rock you’d care to name. Why “started out” in quotes? Because none of the mud we have today is original mud. It is all recycled mud—the earth recycles everything, eventually. This is called the Geologic Cycle, and it is complex. I was going to post a link to a diagram, but everything I found was either oversimplified, eye-candy, or oversimplified eye-candy. So don’t waste time looking. Sigh.
We think that because granitic rocks are lighter than basaltic rocks, they floated (in a semi-molten state) on top of the basaltic rocks before the earth’s crust solidified, and probably solidified first, forming the core rocks of the continents (sometimes called shield rocks, as in Canadian Shield.) If so, then “original” mud was, indeed, derived from granitic rocks. Yet even such mud is astonishingly complex. Mud is composed of clay minerals, which is a bit of a misnomer, as “clay” refers to particle size, rather than composition. However, there is a suite of minerals that are only found as weathering products: formed by the chemical breakdown of a parent mineral. (Weathering is the general term for the physical and chemical breakdown of rocks, but that is another topic altogether.) These clay minerals often have a plate-like structure and hexagonal symmetry. As anyone who uses cat litter knows, they can be quite absorbent. But what you may not know is that some have the ability to trap certain chemical compounds between their layers. What does this have to do with life as we know it?
The woman is singing a version of “Too ra loo ra loo ral – that’s an Irish lullabye” not Dexys Midnight Runners “Come on Eileen” with a few “too-ra-loo-ra-too-ra-loo-rye-ays” thrown in the chorus.

My youngest had a birthday a few weeks back. I told all of our friends that he didn’t need presents. Then one of said friends posted a picture of a baby yoda doll on facebook with the caption “thinking about getting this for baby x’s birthday.” So naturally I was forced to comment “I CHANGED MY MIND, HE NEEDS A PRESENT!!”
Heck I don’t have kids and I have a massive collection of Star Wars stuff! I love it when I go to Toys R Us and get things and they ask if I need a gift receipt. I whisper “no, it’s all for me…”.

Beatrixia: Sounds like it’s all coming together. What are you making for the cake?
Thomosis: Well, that’s where I’m still trying to decide. What do you suggest?
Beatrixia: How about a carrot cake? I got the Rabbit family’s recipe.
Thomosis: And how are our little friends Bunny and Bennie?
Beatrixia: Oh, just like all brothers and sisters. She are Bunny, and he says she is Baby. Then they’re inseparable.
Thomosis: Sounds like a plan. And maybe a Thank You for Being a Friend Cheesecake.

Think of your family, ma’am
Please let them hold him and
Put a little share in your heart
You need to share, don’t wait
Oh, please don’t make ’em irate
Put a little share in your heart
And your home will be a better place
And your home will be a better place
For you and fam’ly
You just wait and see
Another day goes by
Still the children cry
Put a little share in your heart
If you want them to know
We won’t let hogging grow
Next time just put four in your cart
