Mother Goose and Grimm by Mike Peters for July 13, 2024

’’one of these days, Grimmy⠄⠄⠄one of these days⠄⠄⠄

POW! right in the kisser!"

It was a great little magazine in the old simpler days.

Wonder if folks under a certain age or in faraway lands like Canada know who Jackie Gleason’s character was

Who still subscribes to TV Guide these days? With all the cable channels and streaming services, that magazine can’t cover everything in their grids.

Another senior comic. The younger generation wouldn’t know what TV Guide is nor who Jackie Gleason is. Throw in encyclopedias, TV repairmen, Fuller Brush, Avon ladies, Burma Shave, etc. Face it, we’re old!

Are they going to start showing new episodes?

I loved Jackie Gleeson!

Yep, first class has been demoted to steerage.

Your mail is faster than mine, I just got one with Dave Garroway on the cover.

I received a mailing for a car dealer’s week long sale, four days after it was over.

I subscribed to “TV Guide” for many years. They lost me when they changed it from the small, thick booklet to a large, glossy magazine, which, for most of the Daytime Listings, just said “Various Programming”…

A whole new level of slow.

That’s why they call it “snail mail”!

T-rump appointed De-joy to run the post office, and like most T-rump operations, it now really sucks.

Take a look who’s destroying the postal service. Ugh

They still print the TV guide? Why?

I sent a friend a Birthday card one year and he lived less then 10 miles away …… never got an acknowledgement ….. so the next year didn’t send one …… he calls me and Thanked me for the card but I had dated for last year (I usually date the year upper corner) …… told him that I hadn’t sent one this year but did last year ……. he brought the envelope and it had cancellations for all over the world ……… it was only a year late ….. ;)

This is why I stopped subscribing to TV Guide decades ago.
