I seriously guffawed at the fifth comic down. Not just a snicker, but a guffaw, I tell you. :) Thanks for making my Sunday...yet again.

Oh my. The mike pointed at uhm Mr. Weiner had me snorting some serious DDP through my nostrils.

And all the Sarah Palin cartoons, so funny yet scary!

heh heh

As usual, you always select the best and the funniest. Even your Canuck funnies had me chuckling and smiling!

I HAD to include that one. My favourites were the hockey ones. The third last one had me howling. And the last one because it deals with the *spits* Toronto Maple Leafs. Glad you enjoyed these U.P.

It's funny, you know, I never see any pro Palin cartoons. American politicians provide such a boon for American editorial cartoonists, Palin in particular.

Hey, keep safe with all the wildfires your way!

That Reaper one is good. Hell, they're all good.

"Manitoba Gothic" - love it! Complete with missing tooth! I wonder what they will name the new team. "Winnipeg Flood" perhaps? Heh, heh.

And what a great game last night! Go Canucks!

Well, Winnipeg Sandbaggers comes to mind but I'm also thinking their fans might soon come to call them the Winnipeg Debts.

Canucks all the way!

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.

It's For You

I'm going to show my age here - and at my age be thankful that's all I'm going to show - but I can recall growing up as a kid in Toronto and we had one telephone in the house. It was a wall-mounted, black rotary-dial affair behind the door in our kitchen. If you stretched the cord you could actually sit down at the kitchen table while you talked on the phone. This was in the mid-50s, hardly on the heels of the device's invention, nevertheless - having been patented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876 - it was still in it's formative years. Coloured models, the Princess phone, and the push button model were all yet to come, to say nothing of wireless home phones and the cell phone. The telephone, by the way, figured prominently in comedian Bob Newhart's early stand-up routine. In the late 50s/early 60s Newhart made his mark using a telephone as a prop and having hilarious one-sided conversations. It was a device he used for years. The telephone also played a ce...
