Shoe by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly for October 11, 2022

What is her title?…..

Not so supreme, is he?

Evidently the Pooh-bah is not so supreme or invincible at home. Of course, we don’t know why the wife kept him at home. It could be seeing him in his robes might be a real turn-on.

It occurred to me today that God couldn’t possibly be infallible. He made us.

Some thought that the “All-Powerful” Grand Pooh-bah was like a Wizard. Ozzly enough, he tried to get them to “Pay no attention to the woman behind the man.”

Made me think of the Loyal Order of Raccoons on the Honeymooners…

They Need a Ladies Auxiliary!!!

The Supreme All-Powerful Invincible Grand Pooh-Bah’s cat needed to be fed.

A plaque I have…..“I am the boss around here, and I have my wife’s permission to say so.”

I think the Treetop Lodge needs to elect a new Grand Poo-bah.

From todays Comics Curmudgeon, www.joshreads.com:

“If you want a sense of how very old the actual imagined target readership of the newspaper comics is, consider today’s Shoe, which uses as the basis for its punchline the pop cultural touchstone of men belonging to fraternal orders with silly, overelaborate rituals and leadership titles. This is not even something that was really part of the Baby Boom generation’s experience; it’s something that Baby Boomers half-remember their parents arguing about, probably. It’s something that I, a 48-year-old man, mostly know about from watching decades-old reruns of The Flintstones as a child. And yet here it is, a joke in the newspaper and on God’s own internet that makes exactly zero sense if you aren’t familiar with these entirely moribund organizations. Definitely a sign of a healthy art form!”
