When the GIF started it startled me. The belly laugh scared poor Kiki.

O! I C! I thought U meant that pun about the C.

Sorry.

I was on my phone when I wrote that… the reply indentations don’t work well on it.

Buy yeah… Mr. Bluster is not up there with the more fun Howdy Doody characters..

I just looked for a more interesting clip but they were all half an hour… too long for me to preview and choose.

We loved the Howdy Doody Show in my house…

but not really Howdy himself…

I was a big fan of Princess SummerFallWinterSpring… and we all loved Flub-a-Dub.

One of the first sows we ever watched on TV.

I am glad I did not waste a lot of time on Howdy Doody as a kid. Kind of wish I had grown up in the PNW, where people my age still fondly remember Wunda Wunda, Brakeman Bill, J.P.Patches and Captain Puget.

We had Captain Kangaroo, who I hated, and Officer Joe Bolton, who brought us the Three Stooges. And later, a ray of light, Soupy Sales!

Soupy Sales became our favorite too…

We came late to Howdy Doody… didn’t have a TV till I was seven, but my younger siblings were entranced..

I’d pretend to be Flub-a-Dub to amuse them.

You had to be a little older to “get” Soupy Sales… and even then some of his secretly more adult jokes flew over our heads.

We had ‘Sheriff John and his Lunch Brigade’. And he celebrated birthdays by looking into his magic mirror for the names.

I used to watch J.P. Patches, when I lived in North Vancouver.
We picked him up on cable.
I used to love watching the original “George of The Jungle” cartoons” which were a steady part of the show.
I was in my mid twenties attending B.C.I.T. and my mother sent my name in for my birthday, I know because it was announced. If you google (a misspelled number that grew up to be a verb / who’d a thunk?) J.P. Patches, you’ll find a whole bunch of good things.
He passed away on Sunday, July 22, 2012 at age 84.

I once knew a sewing instructress who always taught her classes the proper hemming way.

Can’t say that Dean Martin is a bad singer, and very charming as well. For anyone wondering, Pasta Fazool is New York slang for pasta e fagioli, or pasta and beans. As kids we thought the name hilarious.

We too thought the name “pasta fazool” was LOL funny. It was one of several new names my parents used to teasingly threaten to give me if I was “a bad boy”, which was itself a catch phrase.
Today, when I and my oldest friends get together for a weekend, we often chow down on pasta fazool one night. It does the job and you can give or add flavor as you like. It has flexibility, temporally as well as culinary.

Dean Martin, too, was a talented and skilled performer. He was the more established, more accomplished, entertainer when he took on a young and rising Jerry Lewis as a duo act. Lewis was, initially, in awe of Martin.

Since these are obviously a version of the recipe below…
Read carefully there are measurements that have to be read within the instructions.
 
From: .
The Good Housekeeping Illustrated Cookbook (Reader’s Digest Edition) .
By: Zoe Coulson.
Published by: Hearst Books New York (1980) .
ISBN 0-87851=037-0.
 
” Individual Chocolate Soufflés”
 
sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups milk whole milk — (3.25% milk fat) 3 squares unsweetened chocolate
5 eggs, separated
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (real, not artificial)
1/2 cup heavy (heavier than 35% milk fat) or whipping cream (35% milk fat) , whipped 1/2 cup chocolate syrup
 
1.  Grease six 10-ounce soufflé dishes or custard cups
with butter or margarine (use butter) and then lightly sprinkle
them with sugar
2.  In 2-quart saucepan, combine flour and 1/4 cup
sugar; gradually add milk, stirring constantly
until mixture is smooth. Cook mixture over medium heat,
stirring constantly, until mixture is thickened; re-
move from heat.
3.  Stir chocolate into mixture until melted. Rapidly
beat in egg yolks all at once, until well mixed; set
aside and allow to cool to lukewarm.
4.  Preheat oven to 375° F. In large bowl with mixer at
high speed, beat egg whites, salt and vanilla until
soft peaks form; beating at high speed, gradually
add 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time. Whites
should stand in stiff peaks. With rubber spatula,
gently fold chocolate mixture into beaten egg whites
until blended; spoon into the prepared soufflé dishes
or custard cups.
5.  Place filled cups in 15 1/2″ by 10 1/2″ jelly-roll pan for
easier handling. Bake soufflés 30 to 35 minutes until puffy and brown.
6.  Serve soufflés immediately. Pass whipped cream
and chocolate syrup to spoon over top.
 
Notes from me:

 
After adding the chocolate in step 3, make sure the mixture is cool enough so the egg yolks do not cook before being mixed in.
Two tablespoons at a time is necessary, don’t try to speed it up, and make sure they’re mixed before adding the next set.
Melt the chocolate at the lowest temperature possible.
Keep an eye on the soufflés from the 25 minute mark. The cooking time does depend on your altitude, and the weather.
Remember, even if the soufflés don’t set up properly, they will still be completely edible and tasty.

It is entirely possible that I have seen this C&C before, but I had the luxury of time to think about panel 1 before I had a glimpse of panel 2, and I knew what the answer was going to be. I’m taking pride in that fact even though it may not, in fact, be the first time I’ve seen the comic because it’s good to know my mind can still function in that way.

Brought over from today’s “The Comic Strip…”
 
P.S. “Inspector Danger’s Crime Quiz” has finally been dropped by GoComics. The author left this plane a good few years back and no one took it over.

I’m gonna miss the intrepid Inspector. Although the strip was often a bit hackneyed, it was still enjoyable.

This was a LOL event today! Loved the pun/groaner.

I particularly enjoyed the Navy Seals jump! Didn’t know they could talk to one another. Electronic ear pieces…….duh! Pretty brave guys.
