Nancy Classics by Ernie Bushmiller for June 10, 2020

“Dis is da prison rodeo, an’ I’m waitin’ to get a glimpse of me faddah.”

Buckin’ A, man.

Well, the good parts, anyway

Well it’s bulls and blood

It’s dust and mud

It’s the roar of a Sunday crowd

It’s the white in his knuckles

The gold in his buckle

He’ll win the next go ’round

It’s boots and chaps

It’s cowboy hats

It’s spurs and latigo

It’s the ropes and the reins

And the joy and the pain

And they call the thing rodeo

Chorus to “Rodeo” by Garth Brooks

Dats stupid!

Well it’s 40 below and I don’t give a etc. etc.

I know the date says 1950, but you don’t suppose a similar event was the inspiration for Fenway Park’s Green Wall, so you?

PANEL 5: NANCY – But kids get in free.

SLUGGO: What’s yer pernt?

So is it bronco busting or idiot stomping day?

Kind of limited.

Sluggo knows what he’s doing. It’s not his first……time standing outside a wooden fence.
