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 it's a slow news day when Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy are pre-empted by an overpaid professional ball player's arrival in Miami. An entire hour?? Really? And, no, I didn't watch it.
Another excellent and snort worthy collection Sir Nomie!
So Lady Liberty wears a bikini under her robes, eh? Who knew she was so progressive? I thought for sure she would wear one of those old fashioned puffy bathing suits. (I'm sure there's as name for them, but I'm too lazy to google it).
hee hee
"She wore an itsy bitsy teenie weenie polka dot bikini"!
Ha - I completely missed the "Future of America" toon. Yep, there is still hope that Canada will overrun the U.S., one way or another.
;-)
Oh, and the future of the US? Victory through bird poop!
And I agree with the comic about the Canada Goose Poop. I think there's about only one good thing Canada has brought us: Red Green. OK, wait, two good things: Red Green and nonamedufus. That ought to assuage your ego for a while. :)
