Sunday Funnies/Holy Crap, Baby

RIM co-founder Jim Balsille continues to go after the Phoenix NHL franchise like a pit bull gnawing on the postman's leg. A couple of editorial cartoonists rewarded him for his efforts in their cartoons last week.

Guitar inventor and multi-track innovator Les Paul passed away late last week at the age of 94. Several editorial cartoonists took time to mark the occasion.

But my favourite cartoon appeard too late to be included in last week's collection. The subject was the story about Twitter getting hacked and the subsequent DOS and it had my wife in stitches because art, it seems, imitates life...

Hey, ettarose is giving me crap! Yep, I've now won her Craption turd thingy a second time! Cool. And, your not gonna believe this. I know I couldn't. I've also won the Humor Bloggers Dot Com Guess The Baby Blogger Contest, also run by ettarose last week. Man she's one busy lady. Boy my right sidebar's getting a bit crowded over there! Thanks for these awesome awards, etta. Go to ettarose's excellent site to see both these stories.

The first one about Twitter IS good! I see why your wife had a laugh. I like the last one of Les P. and Jeez too. Who knows? Maybe Jesus is indeed a superstar?!
RIP Les Paul... he had a good run and a good riff.

Sunday Funnies

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy!  You know what happens on Imagination D
