Looks Good on Paper by Dan Collins for March 24, 2022

Your panel sounds ominous!!! Are you getting ready abandon ship, like so many others???

What up ?

“Walk softly and carry a big stick.”

Love this!

STEPUP beat me to it. We both hope you are not giving up commentary and art for a career as a Muskie Guide. Before long you’ll find those Muskies are a fickle breed who won’t allow you to use them for your personal gain. And sobering as it is….when was the last time you saw Muskie on the menu anywhere. Whatever your gig….stay well, stay safe and thanks for the memories. If you are not giving up, then save my words for the day you do become full time Dan Collins, Muskie Hunter.

Good thoughts, Dan. With so much discord, pestilence, and strife, going on in the world, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and helpless. But there’s no victory in quitting, nothing is ever gained by giving up. Indifference, inactivity, and fatalism are the reasons that evil prevails. Time we all modeled ourselves after Teddy Roosevelt and begin to: Walk Softly, But Carry A Big Stick!

If Mr. Collins were retiring from cartooning to go fish full time, he wouldn’t buy a big bat, but rather a big boat.

Speak softly and carry a machine pistol.

I keep having a dream that Donald Trump and his children are the heads in a Whack a Mole game, but I am out of tickets.
