But I just took a look, and the wattle on an iguana, which is actually called a dewlap, is a big soft fold of hanging skin, that looks a bit like a ruffle on a dressy blouse.
I enjoy these drawings for their obvious skill. They have style and a Point of View. The clean, almost pure, lines, the B&W, the futuristic yet vaguely threatening look, the shadows.
There’s an interesting gig.
“Hey, son. Would you like a bird’s eye view of the battlefield? From the actual field of battle? You too can be the most obvious, glaring, stationary target for enemy infantry of all kinds! Apply now at your nearest U.S. Army recruiting office. The excitement never stops! … … Until it does.””
In WW1 there was use of manned tethered balloons in use for observation posts. These fell out of fashion when the first aircraft started to be used to deflate them and bring them down.
I remember sitting in the bed of a pickup with the pickup parked backwards. A couple of us would have chairs in the bed. Someone would sit in lawn chairs directly behind the truck.
We were tailgating before tailgating was a word.
I saw The Coasters in a Las Vegas lounge in 1974. They were billed as Cornell Gunther* and The Coasters. Not sure I remember why, but I think it had something to do with lawyers. Or lawsuits. Or lawyers and lawsuits.
* Which was weird because his name was spelled “Gunter.”

This is Detective Joe Dogday, of the LABP (Los Angeles Basset Patrol). A no-nonsense, methodical, “just the facts”, dogged investigator.
NOSE!
hahahahaha….. good one!

Liz, as she’s called, is beloved on her home island. Well known for her ability to “hang 10.”
What is that thing coming out of the top of her sleeve, right under her chin?
It looks like a small body part, but her hands, feet and tail are accounted for elsewhere.
Iguanas have waddles. That might be it.
Hmm… thanks…

This thing looks like a bony appendage!

Your diagnosis, Doctor?
You’ve got a heart as big as the outdoors.
NOSE!!

Ask your grandfather!? My childhood favorite?
At first I took umbrage… but then I realized, of course.
Yeah.
Maybe even your great grandfather.
Sigh.
NOSE!

Even far from battle, imagine that heavy, bulky seat, with all of its flat surfaces, atop a slender, 8-story(?) tall pole on a windy day.
Crane-operator without his cabin. Or anything else.
I remember sitting in the bed of a pickup with the pickup parked backwards. A couple of us would have chairs in the bed. Someone would sit in lawn chairs directly behind the truck.
We were tailgating before tailgating was a word.
Our parents would put a small mattress in the back seat, so it covered the whole area, seat back to seat back, and made it all flat.
There was no opening where you would normally put your legs.
It’s the same thing they did for long car drives, in those days when seat belts were unknown.
…
They’d take the three of us to the drive-in wearing our pajamas…
and come home with three sleeping children, carry us in, and put us in our beds.
But when I was about 8 or 9 I started staying awake for the end of the movie, and, as the oldest, also got too tall to be comfortable that way.
I kinda foiled their little plot.
😁

Also one time, my dad started backing up with the speaker still inside our car.
They were metal, and attached by a long wire to a short pole, where you were supposed to hang them before leaving.
He snapped the wire, and had to pay something like a dollar fee when he told them… A lot cos admission was a dollar for the whole carload.
He grumbled and complained for weeks about that dollar and which of us “made” him forget to hang up the speaker.
….
I didn’t know till I was much older how many people broke them off and never told, or even drove home with them.
Probably contributed to the demise of drive-ins.
Yes. Couldn’t agree more.
It’s a good thing he didn’t lick her.
“Aauuugghhhh! Dog germs!”
Also the name of the first Peanuts book.
Three great songs!
The Far Side cast
What that drive-in needs is basset spray.
Just kidding, of course… everybody loves Cleo.
Except maybe those crabby people in the little green car right behind the Cliffords.
They shouted something that sounded kinda rude.
I mean, what’s their problem?

my favorite part was all the speech balloons.

I didn’t think you admitted to being alive in 1974, or at least, being old enough to remember it.
Good to see ya… Where ya bin?
