if I can get just one giggle out of you, be it in the comments or in the comic each day, then that is a win for me.
my only real purpose these days is to make folks at least smile at some of the silly stuff that goes on here
The poor thing is forced to chewing rocks. No wonder his eyes are flashing sparks or weird colors. I’ll bet his dentist gives him Hell every time he comes in. You haven’t been wearing your night guard like you’re supposed to!
DON’T click unless youre really stuck on how to start, and want help.
It’s a cryptogram… a letter substitution puzzle…. NOT scrambled words.
All the letters are in the right order, but each has been replaced by a different letter of the alphabet.
If, for instance, if A=Z in this puzzle, every A would be replaced by a Z.
In some cryptograms, the substitutions are consistent throughout the puzzle, in which case, each time you find an answer, you probably pick to another letteror two, so it gets easier.
In more diabolical ones, there’s a new set of letter substitutions for each answer.
My wife and I have watched this several times (she love, love, loves musicals). From time to time, some of the dialogue pops up in our conversations (ya gotta know the territory). The finale featured the USC marching band. Still love barbershop quartets.
Cleo got those shoes at convent garage sale….fashionable and comfortable dress shoes for any occasion—a trombone concert or clubbing a 12 year old child into submission
Hey Montany Lady, you’re lucky that Triple M helps you by stirring and such. My wife decided that she likes my cooking more than hers. Since this is the case, I threaten her once in awhile with something like the following menu:
Alligator, capybara, anaconda
Sauteed on the muffler of a worn out Honda
My Yvonne, sweetest one, me oh my-o.
She gonna eat anythin’ I cook on the bayou.
I don’t know if she hates my menus or my singing more. 😉
Gas or electric BBQ then. Invite your neighbors: we had a really prominent elder gay couple next door back in the day. And a mimosa on their third floor.
Keeping the sea monkeys safe by keeping the coquilles away from them? – Story of my life.
I don’t think the children or the cemetery administration would approve – even if they were buried across the tracks.
There are so many pierced people (including little girls!) around… #earlobes
I was reading some of the comics at Gocomics and found out that they were getting rid of some more comics in a few weeks. Does anybody know which ones they are deleting this time the way they just got rid of Sherpa?
Dain Fagerholm
Can I just delete your GIF (or I can send the rhinos over to your house)?

I don’t care if there is a cool 3D effect, that is just ugly.
call ’em like you see ’em, Dennis—-that’s always refreshing
Waaaaah!
Nighthawks doesn’t want me to come back.
Sniffle…
Instead of a scarecrow, he put up a ScareSusan.
and a ScareRita!
sorry Ms. Montana! if you can’t join Susan behind the couch in time,
just stay under the covers….you’re always safe heh heh heh, under
the covers!
You know how to make me giggle first thing in the morning! LOL

now now, Susan….don’t take it personal….I LIKE Fagerholm’s GIFs
(and apparently I’m the only one)
…
…
That is just over the top cute. 🙂
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
I don’t think you’re helping…;o)
Sed Yanoxe isn’t real? My childhood beliefs have been dashed!
oh great! I’m ready to say g’night, and we have a great puzzle.
Tomorrow!
Big hint about solving it, that gives no answers…

oops! for some reason, I was not logged in, and hit the wrong button. I meant to say how much I LOVED your choice of videos, Happy 3
A likely story.
Why don’t you just tell the truth?
(a dog piddled on her homework)
P.S. Love you Mrs. U!
Probably had to do with the wine.
p.s. I love u 2 Mr. D.

Ooo Ooo, the Wells Fargo Wagon is a’coming……………..
POOL!!!
are you stirring up trouble again?
Only in River City.
good choice! wish I’d thought of it first.
now just WHO had the temerity to vote a thumbs down on it?
Hey, Whitney, I’d love to dance with you. But I don’t know that I can live up to your expectations.
Yeah, it would be hard, now…
Have always loved this inane, harmless, thoroughly enjoyable Cydni Lauper tune!
you just like to have fuh-un
It’s a slide trombone, Cleo.
Not a weapon.
A nice, gentle gliiide…. Music wafting into the air….
You’re not supposed to use enough force to launch a spear.
…
Sigh….
…
Cleo may not be much of a musician, but she really knows the dress code…
The ultra simple long dress… even the clunky low heeled dress shoes.
And..um.. in panel 2… I think…. the pearls?
Cleo got those shoes at convent garage sale….fashionable and comfortable dress shoes for any occasion—a trombone concert or clubbing a 12 year old child into submission
Black plague, scurvy, alcohol? Does that “nun” moonlight on a pirate’s ship?
?… pardon my puzzlement, but where do you get those pirate ship staples from?
“The Ghost and Mrs. Muir” (not a pirate, but a seaman) and “Pirate Mike”.
A decent captain wouldn’t allow a nun moonlighting on his ship, would he?
Hey! The kid had it coming.

Definetly the singing. Silly Mister.
Cleo will now get more applause for hitting Claude on the head.
Good morning, Cleophanatics!
Quick hit. Got gaming company today. Left a note for Lennie Peterson of the Big Picture on GC to come check out today’s toon.
Y’all have a phun Sunday. (((((HuGz!)))))

I took QT to the park. I hope that counts. 😀
meant to instill confidence?
depending on how many floor there are to go, I think I’d use the stairs
Or jump out of a window.
Somebody should give that hamster CPR.

can’t say I’m shocked….no idea who’s next.
