Shoe by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly for July 22, 2021

No, this one’s about a fire in California…..

I remember back in Los Angeles during the early ’80s a radio DJ saying, after playing that song, “I can remember when that was just a song and not the weather report!”

That’s what happens when she brings out the platters.

Is he trying to tell Shoe to dump the cigar?

Roz’s place always reminds me of the only restaurant in town where I lived a while back.

We have a Air Quality Alert in the Midwest today from the wildfires in the West.

We learned a long time ago not to put a smoke alarm in the kitchen

She is ready to ban him for life.

…from the look of Roz’s expression, panel 3 would’ve been “and that’s when the fight started!”

Nooo! I’ve loved that song for as long as I can remember. When I was little I had music box that played it. I think I may have lived it to death.

More like Roz’s burning!!!

As he says through his cigar.

BOY! That Roz cooking sure does SUCK!

That tune could describe Roz’s Poo Poo Platter.

I somehow never envisioned that song being performed on a guitar by a guy in a cowboy hat. Or whatever that hat is.

Does he know a song about something other than smoke getting in eyes?
