Things are hotting up all over the Fest now!
Oh, there’s just no way the five-legged race will be half as exciting as the general chaos going on around it, is there?

Clem’s sure to get some traction with this story.
Of course, he’ll have to change the names of everyone involved to protect, well, not the innocent, but protect him from having to go get people’s permission to put their names in a crazy story that no one would believe anyhow.
“Whooofph!”
“WH-PANNNNG!”
and
“Wump!” “Wait!”
It’s a cartoon, brought to you by the letter ‘W’.
What goes up must come down.
The cassowary is a flightless bird. It wasn’t going up, so something else had to.

I may have mentioned Billy Ireland before now. The huge Cartoon Museum and Research Center at Ohio State University is named for him. He drew a feature called ‘The Passing Show’, which is of course brilliant.
I thought of storytelling as a series of comings-and-goings for today’s cartoon.
What would you have said to DeMarco, if he asked this li’l favor and then left for Popeye’s for a chicken sandwich?
Or…
What if he went to Appleby’s?
Wile E. Coyote would have known what birds want for lunch.
Ooooh, lots and lots of panels! And an odd number of them, to boot! Very out-of-the-ordinary. This whole 2020 thing must have gotten to me.
Maybe I can do even more panels on special days this year. You know the ones. Like, 02-02-2020. That’ll be a fine day.
I bet that date is so entertaining that some crackpot somewhere is predicting that it’ll be the end of the world or something. Like, y’know… “At 2:20:20 on 02-02-2020 preee-cisely, dadgum if’n it ain’t gon’ be th’ end of th’ dang ol’ world! Get yo’selfs right with Heaven, Y’all!”
But I know what I’m gonna do.
Keep the radio and TV on, ’cause it’ll be that time and day in Australia WAY before it is where I am. If I hear, on 02-01-2020 (which will be the next day already in Australia) that Australia… I dunno, fell off the planet or burst into flames or something even weirder, then we’ll know that Rev’rund Peavine Forrest Bubba Huckleberry was right. We’ll have HOURS to say, “Well, doggone if he wasn’t right. Hey, let’s go loot a store or something before the end of the world.”
Hmm. That wasn’t at all what I had intended to say today.
Lowell isn’t starting a dirty word in the last panel, by the way, he’s ending a perfectly serviceable word. “Enough!” he seems to be saying, though he’s obviously in shock and time has slowed down for poor ol’ Lowell.
I guess it’ll be Monday before we learn what he means by thinking “Enough”, whether he’s a bit shocky or not.
