Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for March 10, 2016

Thai Floyd’s Oriental Cuisine?

Just change the name of the joint to Chipotle.

E. Bola’s Africa Eatery?

Down the street, a tour agency changed its name. It started as Paris Sites

Then there’s a chiropractor down the street named Arthur Ritis!!!

Is that pho real?

C.O. Jones’ Deli?

Awesome year, 1987!

This one is for real, Amigone funeral home. :P

In the town of Beecher, MI there is (or was when I was there) a butcher shop: “Beecher Meats”

There’s one in every crowd…

His wife runs Polly Esther’s Fashions…

Sam and Ella’s Bakery.

So far, every Throwback Thursday I’ve seen for this comic is from 1987. Was that an especially good year for you, Mark, or are you rerunning all your comics in chronological order?

Truth is stranger, and a thousand times more exciting, than fiction.

When I was growing up in Dallas, there was a shingle which identified, “A. Swindle, architect”..I had John Strange for psychology. He claimed he wanted his tombstone to read, “Here lies a sane psychologist” and everyone would say, “That’s Strange”. (It didn’t, but his book was used as a sight gag on I Love Lucy)..My father’s biology professor, Mayme Longnecker, had to move from his house on Lovers Lane because of the jokes..How much more time do we have?

Next up: Salad bar!
