Thank you to nurses! They deserve 52 weeks of recognition,
I’ll never forget the incredibly thoughtful nurse who ran across the room to hold my long hair back while I was leaning over being sick.
I feel so terrible about one incident when I was young and went into emergency in terrible pain. The young male doctor became fascinated by noting that he could poke me in an intimate spot and it caused me such horrible, sharp pain I wanted to scream but couldn’t. He did it over and over and over again until finally the nurse yelled out, “Stop it, you’re hurting her!” He glared at her. I was so grateful but couldn’t speak. I always wondered if the jerk doctor got her fired and if I should have done something.
I won’t be joining you. I ate at the one near my home and did not like the food. Then I was in another city and went out to eat with a group and we wound up there, and no one liked the food.
I was wondering the same thing. I think it must be copies from an earlier strip. It’s so small, when I enlarge it, it gets too blurry to make out all the characters by the tree.
We had a nearby store where we did the exact same thing. We went there a lot because my father was a chain smoker and paid cash, of course, for cigarettes, and we got the small change for our candy.
We would go up to the glass case, with shelf after shelf of penny candy. We had to hold out our hand to show the man how much money we had first, and then we would point to each candy we wanted until we used up our money.
No fine chocolates ever tasted as good as that penny candy.
Happy National Cartoonist to one of the best: our Nancy!
Today’s comic is an absolute masterpiece. I can’t imagine the time and effort put into it. Just wonderful.
And, of course, I have years of memories of spreading the paper out to read the “funnies” and the cat curling up to sleep on them. I’m now of “superior” age, and I still spread the newspaper out on the floor to read.
Maybe the most annoying bus rider on UFO, as Graham claims. However, not the most annoying but rider on Earth. The most annoying would be either:
(1) the immensely obese woman who literally sat on me on the bus.
or
(2) the weird guy sitting behind me who insisted that I had been flirting with him for the entire ride (and therefore he apparently claimed me as his own personal property) despite the fact that I, not having eyes in the back of my head, never knew he was there, and, if I had known, I certainly would not have been flirting with him of all people.
