Mine, and the kid’s. Mine is easier to color, that’s all I know.

Li’l Beau has some issues, don’t you think?

I got really excited writing this bit. It was a single piece of narrative that needed working out in full before I could dive in.
It runs at the outside edge of what I think people are willing to put up with (I use GoComics.com as a measure of that kind of thing. Folks there are far more ready to complain than you guys here.) and if the story had run any longer, I might have ditched this whole bit and just sent everyone off to bed. As it is, I have a few cartoons in mind for the first night of the Fest that are now pushed back by a couple of weeks.
Exciting. Entertaining. Fun. At least to me. If you guys don’t enjoy it, don’t hesitate to say so. I enjoy your feedback, of course.
Do the people who keep setting off fireworks buy too many around the 4th of July, or do they buy extra so they can keep shooting them, or do they get arrested for shooting them on the 4th, and finish shooting their supplies after they’ve been to court, or what?
I’ve got a spooky story to tell you. I like it, and I hope you do, too.
•also, apologies for this going up late again. I don’t know what the server’s problem is, but the alerts keep popping up that I can’t finish uploading these cartoons. Then I go to bed cranky.•
I like to read (or hear) David Sedaris books.
He pointed out some time back that his family quit (or tried to) telling stories in front of him, even when he swore he wouldn’t run off with them and put them in one of his books. Because he always ran off with them and put them in one of his books. Stories fly around all the time… sometimes, they need catching and spiffing up, right?
As I’ve mentioned before… probably several times… I did this trick on a person. Only it was five bucks, not twenty.
But it was all in fun, and I think I gave the kid the five anyhow. Entertainment value and all.
But really, try not to say “Like” a lot. That just irritates people and it’s lazy conversation.
Me? I say, “Y’know” a lot. Way too much. Irritatingly, blitheringly too much. But that’s okay, and doesn’t make me crazy when I’m aware of it while I talk. Y’know.
I’ve mentioned it before.
I invented the “and then…” rule at a cub scout campout. It’s masterful in it’s simplicity and effectiveness.
The story that Froederick is trying to tell in this strip? It’s the story, as I remember it, that the cub scout told when I invented the “and then” rule.
