Thanks margueritem. it was your comment that suggested Mr. Thompson was out on a health break. For me, that was sufficient.
Nice to see also that Mr. Thompson responds, meaning he reads the comments. Well done, Not many cartoonists have that courage.
Congratulations on a consistently well done strip. Sorry to hear I don’t deserve to read it, although, deserving or not, I will continue. I will just go back to skipping the comments.
Just a response to yesterday. thanks to those that confirmed that R Thompson is away and that the ‘toons are repeats. It is apparent that these are reruns, fills as it were, which usually means the author is away on vacation. Vacation isn’t a point of sarcasm “DRY” it is a natural part of a normal working life.
To be honest, however, I did not need to know Mr. Thompson’s personal information. Now that I do, I wish him well…and I apolgize to him for the intrusion into what is a private matter. He and I are not friends, family, or acquaintances. He is merely the guy who draws a cartoon that I enjoy.
I will come back to this cul de sac in mid February.
one usually has an ostecasm while masticating. anyone who has experienced it will tell you that your voice does not drip….it falls heavily (and solidly) to the floor. “dripping voice” is a result of sarcolocism.
I can remember back to the mid sixties when there was a california “art film” making the rounds of small theatres here on the rock. it starred Arnie, melanie griffiths, and a very large pig. the only one that looked to be over 18 was the pig. it would not have qualified for a best costume nomination
