Close to Home by John McPherson for February 08, 2021

Nothing like doing a casual body drop off while you’re on a date.

I’ll take a cab and meet you there.

Pulling up in that hearse would be great if they were going to see a horror movie but otherwise….’D

Not the kind of stiff she was hoping for.

Reminds me of Claire in Six Feet Under.

“Hey baby, don’t knock it, lots of people are dying to ride in this car”

That’s a date killer.

You go out with a Munster, this is bound to happen.

I wanted to buy a used hearse when I was in high school

My parents said NO

Tell me is your dad a “cleaner”?

I thought they were headed for a Dead concert.

It’ll be a zombie movie.

Many years ago one of my Mom’s beaus worked at the local funeral parlor (he later became a mortician and small town politician, but that’s another story). Anyway, while they were dating, he occasionally borrowed the hearse for the evening and they used it for transportation.

Hey, it’s a Cadillac.

I knew a guy in high school who drove around a decommissioned hearse. They called it the “gut wagon”. We didn’t know what “politically correct” was back then. We thought it was funny.

Driving a hearse worked for Neil Young. :)

Meanwhile, back in the studio….

BLEEB!

Look, I’m just trying to direct these scenes the best that I can, so there’s no need for all the nasty attitude!

Okay then, I will… “I HATE DIRECTING YOU… YOU ANTENNA-FIED, THREE-EYED, WEIRD LITTLE YELLOW, BOOZE-ADDLED, BUG-LOOKIN’, ALIEN JACK WAGON!“

WOO! You’re right! That DID feel good to do that!

Eddie Munster borrowing the family car for a date?

And the date became as dead as a doornail

Hey, if it’s not occurred, plenty of room in the back to lie down.

Not a cruiser but definitely has a large back seat…..

Bet he can’t deliver in 30 minutes or less…

Ah, yes. His and hearse!

Good, everybody noticed the cartoon date was preBleeb, so there were no where’s Bleeb comments.

Mourning is optional.

Must be Deadhead.
