I'm not going to pick a favorite this time around as I like all of the Pope ones, especially the one with "It's a GUY thing." Oops, was that picking a favorite? Ach, well. Hey, it's good to see this back here. I know I've missed it anyway and I'm sure others have too.

I debated whether or not to resume this and with this week's Pope cartoons I couldn't resist. I like the "Cardinals" one with the "guy thing" a close second.

The Catholic church has a real opportunity here to come into the 21st century. Too bad they won't capitalize on it.

Stompin' Tom? Really? I hadn't heard. Nice to see the Sunday funnies again, Dufus. Does this mean we might eventually see the return of Pause, Ponder and Pun?

I feel bad for not knowing about this Stompin' Tom Connors until now. The North Korea stuff does have me a little bit concerned, by the way.

Stompin' Tom was a Canadian institution. The North Korea stuff scares me too.

My Back Pages - November

I read five books last month bringing my year to date total to 61, well past the 50 I estimated at the beginning of the year. And I've yet to get through December.

The month started out with The Nix, the debut novel by Nathan Hill which has been receiving a lot off positive reviews. In it Hill flips back and fourth from the 1968 Chicago protests and 2011 in a desperate search for the truth behind why his mother abandoned him at an early age. In between Hill takes on politics, the media and addiction as well as other aspects of society. It's a well-spun tale and I quite enjoyed reading it.

Next up was the auto-biographical I Am Brian Wilson of Beach Boys fame. This was somewhat of a scattered affair but an interesting read nonetheless. Wilson - or his ghostwriter - however is no Hemingway.

Then it was on to one of my favourite authors, Ian Rankin and his latest tale of now retired Inspector John Rebus, Rather Be The Devil. I never tire of these stories and this is the 21st in …

Tales From The Supermarket

Bob and Brenda worked in the supermarket. They weren't check-out clerks. And they weren't stock-boys. Brenda sure wasn't. And they weren't employees who worked in the fish section or the deli. No. They were on the shelves.

They hadn't been on the shelves very long but in that short time they'd developed a considerably close friendship.

The chatted all day when the store was busy and at night when the store was closed. They talked about everything. The talked about what raw products they came from. The talked about their manufacturing processes. And they talked about the long routes in semi-trailers that brought them to this store.

Oddly enough the one thing they never made clear to one another was just what product each of them was.

One day when Brenda was commenting on their friendship she told Bob she was grateful for their amity. "Are you Tea?" said Bob, pekoe-ing her way. "I thought I was Tea". You're coffee!"
