   Could be worse. Charley could be telling Louie about his baseball fantasy league team.

   Good morning, crew!

   It’s lucky this is a comic strip, with such a cartoonish villain in this story.

   The classics update for the 26th went up around dinnertime Friday. Comes in three parts, and the teasers are in yesterday’s comments section.

   A full four-part update for the 27th is pretty well down the road, but won’t get finished and posted until I get some sleep. Watch this space!

   Well it took long enough again, but a three-part classics update for the 26th is up on the 26th, heh.

   The Chief takes his… well, he brings his mechanic out to the wreckage to see what can be done. (The humane thing would be to shoot the poor automobile.)

   Brenda visits the Naturals, and enjoys a meal of local dishes. No quinkberries, thank goodness – and besides, QUINKBERRIES ARE NATIVE TO INDIANA, Dale Messick!

   Pert is getting a lot of bad news today, mostly that pot luck (jug luck?) has cost him possession of what’s left of Aunty’s house.

   And the dead are grateful for it!

   Big Nate and Mini Charley will save the day, and bring the gnarly surf!

   Good morning, crew!

   How many rounds of championship playoffs can a 12-team ‘top flight’ league have?

   And that’s where the big money is for a Super-Conference.

   Even cutting that down from 80 to 32 teams (a la the NFL), you’d end up with 6-6, 7-5 “playoff teams” in a 16-team playoff field.

   (But who are we kidding, if they get ‘free’ of the NCAA, the new lords of college football will jack it up to an 18 or 20 game regular season schedule.)

   Joel and Rufus still riding around town in a donkey cart, that’s certainly an anachronism in the strip.

   (Not to mention a featured male character named Allison.)

   I misremembered a song lyric as ‘forever and a day’… the song being “Captain of Her Heart” by a group called Double, the actual lyric being ‘not only for a day’.

   Oh, well.

   Speaking of blowing it, someone on the tweeter pointed out that the 4/25/73 GA classic strip doesn’t open up to full size when clicked on. So I went ahead and did a re-post which seems to be working fine.

   (Thanks for pointing that out to me, and don’t hesitate to give a shout when there’s an apparent error.)

   So to recap, there now four posts that make up a three-part classics update for the 25th, which went up Thursday evening … and the tranche for Friday the 26th, I’m hoping to get something up by this coming afternoon.

   But she’s noticeably aged over the years, all that edumacation may have robbed Miss Melba of her timeless immortality.

   Or as I imagine Joel would say it.. her “timeless immorality”…

    Simon Bar-Sinister? A reference to Simon Bar-Sinister??

    You Cad!

    At last, the classics update for the 25th makes it in under the wire, and it’s in three parts:

    Horse’s Neck sets out to go for a drive, but can’t go after all because he went and got bombed.

    I presume that Awful Natural and Swede Anne Natural have conceived of an off-spawn the natural way.

    Pert was too cheap to have his property surveyed by a professional, so he’s stuck with a deed that marks the line based on the position of a creek!

    Note that our next update should arrive Friday afternoon. The management appreciates your patience : )
