Snarf...and if those dragons were only talking about food.
Susanne took the words right out of my mouth. And I wanted to also say, 'First!"
Oh those dragons are gonna get a bad tummy ache!
Susanne...they are not particualr when it comes to either party!

Hello Cartouche! Your my #1 second person!

Anna, if so it will be from those wardrobe tragedies....
Talent, talent.. what can I say..
Want to see my stick figures???
Rated with hugs
Gary, just like the ads used to say: "I can't believe I ate the whole thing!"
How about "Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you dont?"
Very true and oh so disappointing!

Thanks everyone for the comments...I'll be back w all of you through the weekend!!
Once upon a time, I was crueler than I am now. Two friends used to play on our Sunday jams. They were capable but uninspired. On one such occasion, I said it was a case of the bland leading the bland.
ah, if only dragons could come in & clean things up a little...
I knew it! It's the dragons' fault--all of it!
smiling and nodding...your number 1 16th person? r
On target, unfortunately.
Politics 'n politicians, like a burnt twinkie, must be tossed. They don't taste good, and aren't useful for anything.
When the Elephant and the Donkey begin to agree, what we're in store for is at least two years of austerity. Generally speaking, this is bad for you, and bad for me.
Rated.
Wow, another amazing Justis talent! Is there Nothing you're not good at?
Ha!

(Gary, why are there two nn's in When on this cover piece?) xox
Gary, I wrote to Emily asking her why your piece is entitled Whenn... instead of When...someone must have gone face down into the nn's, which is easily understandable.

I hope they fix it. xox
@Robin: I think Linnnn must have been editing!
Any government I know?
@Robin, I saw the same thing this morning and then I kept seeing it that way for a few more hours. Your explanation and Cranky's are both very funny!
Linda, I would love to see them! Thank you for the visit!

Stacey…..and I love your comments…all of them!

Tink, they are winning! At least this time!

Designanator, I couldn’t believe it then either. The ads gave us permission to do obviously unhealthy things. I’m glad we survived junk food before the publishing of ingredients. Perhaps the people (fleeing Dragon Food) should have labels.

Tim, I do, and have for many years. Squirrels follow me everywhere…

Thank you Trilogy!

Junk, love to see you always…changes may be afoot!

Hello Tom! I understand the situation. We said many things we might have regretted…well…maybe not…
Thank you for coming by Tom!

Suzie, I agree, but they would scare the hell out of both parties. I think it would be the massive scale of their Windex bottles.

Thank you Fay!

Berdina, thank you…did he come back after you called? Always loved those working breeds….

Nikki, Now you know as well as I do that dragons only live in the imagination…Hmmm, what did the Republicans say they would do to Health Care Reform?

Muse, You are ………my #1 (any numeral)

C Cuss, I love your Crankiness! Really! You write the way I have tried to for many years. Dang, you do it well and that makes ME cranky…

Consonant, No, they are staying right there…

Hi Kathy….No! You are…to the nTH power!

Dyno, they excel at sharpening pencils, the ones we don’t toss.

BOKO, I agree, but I do not think the discursive dynamic will actually change. I never yawn at anything the Govt does.

Sally!!! Oxoxoox…I have to say: I am only good at a small number of things, one of which is changing my alibi…..

Robin! The editors fixed it and sent me a very sweet PM. Ooxoxooxoxoxoxo

Cranky, A hiccup may have played a role…

Lefty! Wow, you write good, informative stuff! Thanks for visiting. We may know some from this fleeing group!

Designanator….I get two visits! They fixed it and sent me a very sweet PM.

Dr. thank you for the visit and the many times you have come around and left very original, funny and many time thought-provoking comments.
Gary, those dragons are just too damn cute!
Laughing! Spicy is rated when you go for Thai. There should be a rating for bland. And since there isn't: THIS CARTOON is the answer! Great one, Gary!
Yep. That's seems about right. It just might take a couple of monsters to spice things up. (Brr. The more I look at them, the more more creeped out I get!)
