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.
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.
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.
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!
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.

Hello? Anybody home?

Now you’ve got me worried…
I appreciate the concern….things are ok for now
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.
sorry, no excuse for my delay!
Yes there is. Stuff happens. Part of life.
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.
4:30. AM. By nibbling on my nose.
My dog is a goof.
…
I think the dog could use a hat.
And a coat. Even Labs get cold.
So … … … a lab coat?
I must now surf ETSY.
My laptop died.
Crap! Don’t know what i’n going to do when mine dies.
Do you have a desktop you’re posting that from… or only mobile devices?
An ancient and slow old laptop.
But it works with the newest Ubuntu LTS.
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!
sorry I made you worry
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.

LOL
“I’ll be out in a second. Just putting my face on.”
You have to buy time to use the sink with equal minutes of belly rubs.
Five minutes to brush your teeth?
That’ll be five minutes, please.
..
no
Yikes! That’s a big one!
I give that diving “container” two chomps from those jaws.
One if he’s really hungry.
AIiiiiiiii got her finger.
He may be slowly opening up – but you really should be worried about him closing down again.
…
Maybe she refuses to take the tea out of the box….
And the PGTips box will only fit into the slightly larger coffee canister.😁
….
Thank you!
I watch their movies every Saturday morning on The MOVIESnetwork,
Don’t look like a comedy team, do they?
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.
They just remind me of characters out of “Casablanca.”

How to drive a person with OCD mad.
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.

BTDT. Just down the road from me…
Literally “down”, it seems.

Holy Moly! This guy’s a hero!

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.
Like it just slips by farmhouses…
Muchas gracias. A concise summary of what sounds like it would usually be sufficient.

Err – What’s up, Doc?

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.
Really fun if you’re a F1 driver.
Talk about getting a ticket!
Try driving up this in an old Volkswagen.
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.
Some kind of furrin’ language, so they’re furrin’ chips.
Of course we keep an eye on ’em!
Let me tell you, those crisps are suspected in at least three shopper assaults.
They were a-salting shoppers?!
In December? ‘Tis the seasoning!

If it’s supposed to appear as it actually would on a clock, no.
the little hand is just a bit sluggish…..
sorta like the appearance of my images today
Close enough. 🙂
Another easy one — thanks, Nighthawks!
Guy Lumbago – as my parents used to call him! I’m sure they were not alone.
Good swing number.
Trippy!
Happy New Years everyone.
One of my GoComics pals, “some idiot from R’lyeh“, has reassured me from Australia, that so far, 2025 looks fine.
I’m still nervous about stepping off.
