Rhapsody in Blue is such a wonderful piece of music, yet now all I can think of when I hear it is the series of United Airlines commercials that used it. I do have to say, though, that they were a pleasure to watch (wish they were still showing…) and listen to. Some commercials are just classics….most are junk.
Well, in the Dancing in the Moonlight animated gif.
I had posted this a while ago, and because of what may have been a combination of poor resolution and a smaller monitor, Susan couldn’t figure out what that was between the heads of the dancing couple. I was just reminding her.
With three kids, two adults and one TV…. Bone-anza was one of the only programs my whole family agreed on.
Every Sunday night, in front of the huge 14″ black and white TV, we all paid our respects.
…
My sister claimed Little Joey, aka Mikey Landhound, as HER dog…
But I didn’t care cos I wanted to put my leash on Pawnell Robarks… to me, the smart, more grown-up, pick of the litter.

More grown up than I knew…. We later found out all of the “brothers” were years older than we thought…
and except for Little Joey, they all wore toupees, being, in real life, far too old to be growly-voiced, also wig-wearing, Lorrrrne Grrreene’s puppies….
even though in their roles on the show, they all acted like obedient teenagers.
—
Speaking of his grrrowly voice…
Who the heck told Lorrrne Grrreene he could sing?
Did somebody forget to yell “April Fool!”?
Maybe that’s why they only used instrumental versions on the show…
Nobody wanted be the one to tell him they were going to use someone else’s vocals.
…
Though it was made pretty obvious in the various plots, I don’t remember knowing till later that each pup had a different mother…
That Pa really got around.
And I’d lay odds it wasn’t his singing that attracted the ladydogs.
…
Nonetheless, we loved the show…
Accepting its premise … three grown men living with Pa, obeying his orders… and always ready to solve problems on the range.
This site is unlike most of GoComics, in that a lot of us continue the conversation well into the West Coast afternoon, which is early evening in the East.
Especially in this heat, I’ve been coming back to answer people when it starts to cool off.
But some people never see those comments .. not just mine, but those of everyone who posts late.
….
So this is just a heads up, if you’re one of those who seldom looks back for replies, a bit later, or when you come to see the new strip.
I know I myself replied to several people yesterday… just in case you’re interested…
ie, Grayhame, about “David”… and Nighthawks, in several places.
LOVED today’s poster, Stel!!! the artwork is sooooooooo good, especially with the 4 characters in the center!
all the music was well done. but the best part was watching that magnificent horse galloping across the Ranch in time with the music! can’t get any better than that!
I’d like to say that watching the galloping horse while the music was playing was my original intention, it wasn’t. Thanks for the tip, though. I just did that and you’re right! It works perfectly!!!
This fits with nothing here, but I came across it while looking for the original posting of the “Dancing in the Moonlight” gif (I didn’t find it).
It will blow your mind.
I also looked for a better copy of the GIF, but no luck with “better”! I did find one that’s excerpted from a silent film called “Lonesome” (1928). Here’s another version of the GIF:
That was quite some chunk of property that these fellows claimed!
I mean how could four guys mark all that territory.
…especially marking it the way dogs are wont to do!
Cleo used, as I recall, a big red marker…
That IS what you mean, right?
Well, that IS one method…
Uh, sure.
Maybe we need a movie about that.
Did you see the Pooch Cafe strip where the hydrant truck crashes into a tree? Maybe they could line the border with fire hydrants.
That’s one idea. The Bassets would love it!

The radio station i listen to plays the from time to time.
never saw the commercial. United has GREAT taste!
Dancing in the Moonlight
Again, [SUSAN], the girl has a wide-brimmed hat on! (giggle)
where?
Well, in the Dancing in the Moonlight animated gif.
I had posted this a while ago, and because of what may have been a combination of poor resolution and a smaller monitor, Susan couldn’t figure out what that was between the heads of the dancing couple. I was just reminding her.
Even though I like the image, and I know what that object is, now.. I can even see it as her 1920’s style hat brim, by reminding myself….
with the shadows in the picture, it still kinda looks like a sideways floating crescent moon, in between their faces.
Sigh….
Oh, I see.
Crevice Brittle Star
wow!
Fascinating….yes?
i want one!
Detroit-style pizza
YUM!!
For dinner tonight??
great idea!
I’ve got a deep-dish instead for tonight.
pecan sandies
Tonights dessert.
Wow… “Bone-anza!”
