Hello? Anybody home?

This has been like this since just before 21:00 hrs. Eastern.
If I knew how to reach Susan other than email I’d be asking her to check on nighthawks.
I checked the weather at nighthawks’ area, and there is no storm to account for a power outage.
It’s probably just a glitch, but I’m worried.

Hi guys….

Nighthawks and I communicate by email.

I have his street address but not his phone number.

I have an old number somewhere but I’ve never tried it because he never gave me permission to call…. instead, he said he was going to give me a neighbor’s phone number, but I don’t think he ever did

He and Candi talked to each other… but I can’t call her any more, and she can’t call him.

Let’s not jump to conclusions though… He posted just over an hour ago.

He could have fallen asleep.

No apology needed!
There are plenty of excuses!

Besides being the cartoonist, you manage to keep this site going 7 days a week, by yourself, with no backup.

ANYBODY would slip up now and again. Nobody’s perfect.

We may tease you, but we all appreciate what you do.
Look how many show up!

All the drama as over by the time Buddy told me that he had to go out.

Happy New Year, everybody!

As always, it’s strange to be saying it on a strip that comes out at dinnertime the night before…

It’s not midnight yet on the 30th, in California, so I’ll be saying it again, especially when we figure out what’s going on

Nighthawks… Sure hope you’re ok!

Looking forward to 2025 with Cleo and Company!

It’s ok.

They talk about how some people have a resting face that may or may not reflect their true feelings.

Well, worrying is just my resting personna.

You have to buy time to use the sink with equal minutes of belly rubs.

Five minutes to brush your teeth?

I’d say they look more like a comedy team than like actual sons of the desert.

Hardy could pass for a son of the dessert.

I picked up the DVD box set (And it’s a big box) of all their movies and shorts for a really cheap price off of Fleebay. I’ve lent them out to several of the neighbours.

Not only will you always have to choose between the frame and the tower being vertical…..

you can never make it right because the base of the tower doesn’t lean.

Makes you wonder what they do with those turbines during a storm.

Above safe operational speeds (~60mph) the blades are feathered. Feathering the blades twists them so that the blade appears as a flat plane presented edgewise to the wind. Without an angle for the wind to push against, the air just slips by.

Considered by some (I’m in the classification “some”) the greatest car chase scene of all time (the “French Connection” car chase is second on my list).
Sadly, this San Francisco street does not appear in it.

My brother lives a bit North of SF, and when my sister went over to see him he took her on the chase route. She had to make him stop as she started to feel sick!

Get on your skateboard and yell “banzai!”

It’s almost never this empty. Maybe this was right after an early dawn….

So if the ride didn’t kill you a car would.

But plenty of people have skateboarded down the steep, crooked section of Lombard Street… though there are are so many cars there nowadays, bumper to bumper, that you probably can’t any more.

And either ride would get you a big fat ticket.

I’ve been all over San Francisco in about every kind of car.

I wasn’t the driver for most of it, because I started driving late.

But I was a passenger in an old VW bus that lost its brakes, though not completely, going down that part of Lombard Street I posted.

And I’ve driven up streets like the top picture in the ancient Volare I’ve written about before, that would lose power on steep hills.

I seriously try to do neither again!

Can’t read the label.
