Herman by Jim Unger for November 27, 2021

Grandpa seems to sleep.

But it’s so much fun

Reminds me of when my nephew jumped on me and the chair went over backwards. The chair had enough padding that it wasn’t harmful to fall that way. It was a bit awkward getting up from a tipped chair; I got off sideways.

Goodness, it’s my Holy Grail… my White Whale of Herman cartoons… I’ve had this one tacked up on a corkboard from the one I cut out of the newspaper…

It’s dated December 27, 1984.

The colors are different, and chair had a fancy floral pattern, but otherwise the artwork and caption are a spot-on match.

Strato-lounger.

Someone has rebuilt that chair

My grandkids loved to play with the handle on the lounger. It’s like a rite of passage when they can actually make the footrest go up and down.

It’s almost a Grandpa Ejector Seat.

My wife commandeered my recliner when she was pregnant. She could get her feet up AND still get out of the chair.

I only caught promo clips of America’s Funniest Home videos. Did they ever do one on a pregnant woman trying to get out of a bean bag chair? Is that even physically possible?

Decades ago, A friend of mine got his foot caught in the recliner and we didn’t know why he was wincing and screaming….lol! Until he pointed. To this day we laugh about it!

Hilarious. Total laugh.

Eject Eject!

There’s no end to the ingenuity of chair designers.

If the kid gets the controls right he should be able to give grandpa a double flip. Give that pacemaker a good test.

Aw, let the kid have some fun.

My grandfather used to fall asleep in his recliner every night while watching Bonanza

Now yell FIRE and watch how fast Grandpa can get up!!!

I remember having a good recliner back in the day that would go back in a nice comfortable way. One day while using the lever to recline in order to watch a current football game, it went back to where I wanted. A few minutes later when I reached over to grab my beer, whatever mechanism was under that recliner let go, and I came crashing forward ! Talk about being scare out one’s wits !

good thing they really do not work way (that i now of).

The erector chair?
