Name some of your favorite comic strip characters…
One of mine is Jim Meddicks inept cat, Fleshy. This is today’s strip. I looked for one awhile back that I really liked but can’t seem to find a “Monty” archive older than thirty days. The one I wanted to depict was of fleshy being held by the tail at a mouse hole! Great fun. Another one had fleshy trying to jump up on a stool and being unable to accomplish such a feat.
“Monty” Jim Meddick

[What to do this summer?]Ahh…, CANOE LIVERY!!
Congratulations to all the graduates this year. Remember three years ago when I must have had nearly forty persons on my subscriptions list who graduated? I’ll be less thorough this year. Two off the top of my head are STDiana (NYC) and the horse chick [Smith] from Ohio, Brandi. To graduates: I suggest you don’t go up SHIT CREEK!
[*Another graduate to add. The lovely NYC Desi, 'AHoleInTheWall'. I'll see some others when I have more chance to look.]

Oooh… A black panther!
Black Panthers are found in south and southeast Asia (incl. Indonesia) and are considered melanistic variations of leopards. Many are also found throughout Latin America where they are closely akin to jaguars. (varieties are elsewhere is smaller percentages.)
Guess one got to New Jersey somehow… Look out!

Weymouth is right by Quincy, about twenty minutes south of Boston. I don’t work there, however I do workout there from 9p to 10p; weekends vary. There is a trial membership there for $20 that you can signup online and go to any BSC (http://www.mysportsclubs.com).
Calvin & Hobbes—where else can you LEARN a word like transmogrification from
stunning cat!!! I like ‘Zits’, my son likes ‘Calvin & Hobbes’, don’t know about the daughters. ‘Shit Creek’ – great. Saw a place near San Antonio – ‘Bob’s BBQ and Taxidermy’ – didn’t actually stop!
hahaha – shit creek.
Haha, interesting comic strip.
And that’s a beautiful kitty. lol
loved the comic strip and that is one beautiful kitty.
Tomesara.
RYC: I have to get the NYT to get ‘real’ news as the local is one giant add plus comics. If I went for a ‘cup of joe’ it would turn into a pot of joe! I tend to consume a lot of whatever beverage I’m drinking.
So you don’t really think I am hot. LOL. I have been working a lot lately and am not having much Xanga time, I am afraid.
Calvin & Hobbs for comic strips and for television I that rooster looking character on Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends. That is a bizarre show for kids, but I find it oddly appealing.
How did miss your last two posts? You’ve been sneaking them by me…
I like Non Sequiter… Growing up I was a BIG Betty and Veronica fan… I know it isn’t a strip… a book… but I loved them… The whole Riverdale gang.
recentlymy husband and I are enjoying Pearls Before Swine.
ryc: thanks for the great cpompliment! I believe I did put up a nice cleavage shot… about two months ago… lol Bu it isn’t in my phto blog… my hubb wasn’t having any of that… only on the post. lol
Lets see what else… no prarie dogs… your right.
I’m off to check out the arcitechture in your last post! Be safe. Ang
My favorite comic strip is For Better or for Worse. I also love Calvin & Hobbs even though it isn’t made any more.
Gorgeous panther. At the zoon once (Philadelphia, I think) we saw the panter and the sunlight hit it just right and we could see the spots, black on black.
I haven’t seen that comic strip in ages! I’ve long since moved from the tired and old newspapers of yesteryear onto getting my news from the net. Ditch the relic, stick with internet *cue corny music*
Comicflix.net is coming out the end of next month…looks to be good ol’ fashioned comicbooking in a new format
Just stopped by 2 say hi and I’m thinking of you. Hug and God Bless!

You know by now that I LOVE COMICS and by comics I mean the books not the strips….my fav label is ASPEN….Mike Turner the creater is struggling with cancer and his story is AMAZING….I am in a comic …The name of it is “The OZ Wonderland Chronicals ” and I will be at Wizard World (large comic book convention) in Aug to promote it! ~ Yes I am that big of a geek!
RYC—i just commented to travelerblue i think, that i’m basically Ann Coulter from the other side of the aisle:lauging: BTW, did you hit that TRANSMOGRIFY link i had—wasn’t a definition, but a link to Calvin & Hobbs—which is where i learnt the word from
Happy Friday!!!
