Front page hijinks! Uncle Johnny’s getting worse every day!

Bud is just jealous that aunt Joan lets uncle Johnny have hijinks.

If it was on the front page, those were really, really bad hijinks.

Grandma! Ruth is well aware of Uncle Johnny. She was hit up for bail money twice this month. Too bad there won’t be any left for Bud and Cecilia to inherit.

Unfortunately the 2 for 1 sale on ladies fine corsets ( down at Dennis’s Fine Unmentionables and Trout Flies) , was on the back of the front page.

Grandma will be buying another newspaper now that she knows WHERE to look! I’ll bet they’ve forgotten grandma’s gossip network!

True, but everybody knows about Johnny’s lowjinks.

Jazzy Johnny just jumped jail! (Jolly joker…)

30 days have September, April, June and my uncle Johnny.

By removing articles in the paper about Uncle Johnny? Grandma Ruth ain’t a fool, she likely watches Fox News where all the jinks are.

I miss the police log that used to be in my local paper. Made for interesting reading some days.

Grandma isn’t easily fooled.
