Shoe by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly for August 23, 2020

Add some taps, with that shirt, the perfessor could go into show business…..

But the price he will nail you with will hobnail your feet.

Had a friend who accomplished the Mail-Order Minister Degree. Translation – he sent in Pocket Change to get a Certificate. Do they do that kind of thing any more???? And it appears that “Sam the Shoe Doctor” may have printed out his own certificate!!! ;)

just wait ’til he performs the miracle of the fishes and loafers…

And even with those capabilities he still can’t do anything about Cosmo’s shirt.

A cobbler? My grandsons should be thinking about career choices. Should be little competition in that field and most likely no student debt. Hmmm.

He might even dye for you!

We had an old Russian immigrant open a shoe repair store in our town many, many years ago. To a young boy (me, in case you hadn’t guessed) it was a fascinating shop. The first thing I noticed was the smell: leather and shoe polish. Second was the machinery, all connected by exposed overhead belts to a single electric motor. And then, of course, the man himself whose name was Rudolph and whose accent and limited English made me wonder if he understood what I wanted repaired. Back then (circa 1950) a pair of shoes, properly maintained, could last forever. The smell still lingers in my mind.

I studied 3years on campus MBI plus a life time. But as the Bible says there are many anti-christs. They oppose Christ and they try to replace Christ. Lots of false cults will give you a certificate.

Preach it, Brother!

Maybe Sam the Shoe Priest? Although with a name like Sam….

and stitch you up while he´s at it, you strait laced sneaker!

Yeah, but can he do something about eh shoe laces?. . .. first LOL/groanof the day. . .

Tie your laces!

At last?

I hear the place runs on a shoestring.

clever

Do all bird wear wingtips?

Very clever.

He’s really only a shoe chiropractor. :)

With Gary’s retirement, is this the last Shoe?

A real Woolie Bully ;)

The Profit Samuel

“…and when we’re done, I’ll give you the boot.”

And he can help you ascend toward heaven with his elevator shoes.

He’s a real loafer though.

True fact, one of the inspirations for the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous was an Episcopal priest named The Reverand Sam Shoemaker. Look him up if you think I’m kidding!
