Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for March 24, 2022

I’m oddly drawn to the Jim Carrey strip.

Guy from Harlem can smell a strip steak from a mile away.

Guy from Chicago can smell a hot dog on a poppy seed bun topped with mustard, relish, onions, tomatoes, pickles, sport peppers, and celery salt from Millennium Park to Wrigley Field.

Point goes to Guy from Chicago!

Mmmmm….Beer

“The Blues Brothers” was shot in Chicago. So was John Dillinger.

Here’s another Yuk: “I recently bought a TV that was a little bigger than I expected. I needed some friends to help me carry and set it up. When I went to call someone, I realized that all my old friends had moved away a long time ago, and I really only had acquaintances and co-workers left. Since my family is pretty unreliable, there was no one I could realistically call to help with this. I managed to carry and set up the TV myself with a lot of effort. Then I thought, what if I got hurt at some point and needed someone to drive me to the doctor or the hospital? Anxiety about this and the future has kept me up at night. The TV is pretty great though.” — Get it?

Always good to see TCSTHAFED in the original B&W. Vintage 2000. Four years before color was invented.

Actually, the big finale chase and car pile-up scene in the Blues Brothers was filmed n. Milwaukee.

The Sears Tower has been renamed, but true Chicagoans still insist on calling it “The Sears Tower”— so much so that I never remember what the new name is.

It’s “Invited my wife and ME…” My whole day is ruined now. I shall return to my sleeping quarters until this feeling of total lingual apocalypse passes.

The amphibian community approves of the first strip. We like beer.

Yuks: verbosity diarrhea

Hey! The Chicago guy didn’t mention that it is the home of the mighty Chicago White Sox and the lovable losers, the hapless Scrubs

If that “finale every day” were really the “last strip”, I’d throw a party. I never knew that inanity could be fatal (though I suspected it).

A more appropriate name for “The Comic Strip That Has a Finale Every Day” should be “The Feature That The Syndicate Keeps Running Because Years Ago They Stripped the Rights From the Talent and Now Perpetuate the Strip Ad Nauseum Because it is Cash Cow for Merchandising and Licensing.”
