Close to Home by John McPherson for June 09, 2023

Even now he still has the magician touch.

Oh yeah. So where’s the rabbit???

He elevated the art form, that’s for sure!

Where’s the hoop to pass it through the whole length of the body ?

Dollars to doughnuts it’s been done.

Dead on Arrival

Yes indeed! – That was supposed to be a closed casket funeral, nailed shut and sealed.

I see he is “rising” to the occasion!

Wait…wait… yep, just what I thought…

… I think I can see the wires!

it’s the pop up toaster casket model!

Even in death, he rises to the occasion!

Must be a formal funeral since the body is wearing a top hat.

On a similar note, Houdini never contacted us. I wonder if that proves his point or is his last trick.

He always got a rise from you dear!

All right, Bleeb! This is a much better place for the purposes of “observation” than you have had for the last few days. Now just work your way over to the casket for the prime “viewing” area.

He still is!!!

Hey Rocky, watch me pull a corpse outa my hat!Again??!!

Death or resurrection?

I hope to bring a bit of levity to my funeral too.

and still is, apparently…

Bleeb wants to know if the hat does tricks like Oddjob’s in the Bond Movies. :)

She must have offered him a cookie.

His finale…..

I thought that only the guy in the Bible raised the dead. :)

Avatar Morturaries, loved ones will never notice the difference, and you can even float them…

That’s cute John, did you do the magic stuff when you were a kid?…

Abracadaver.

I thought he was a politician; floating on hot air.

But not death defying
