Back to B.C. by Johnny Hart for August 12, 2024

Good analogy

Then the cone must be related to the square.

Cones usually symbolize road work.

Mainly used for “Hatting” Statues these days….

“orange barrels orange barrels every where i see, orange barrels orange barrels looking back at me, look at larry, darryl, and darryl standing next to the orange barrel, looking back at me.

Yep same as the cone.

Wiley’s poems were some of my favorites in the old B.C. strip.

Some people think of cones as hats sitting with the circle end down. Others think of cones full of ice cream, circle end up. There is no STANDARD position for a cone.

I think he means those paper cones that were always by water coolers way back when. Gotta drink it all at once!

If you want the cone to stand up and set it on its point it isn’t the cones fault when it tips over. Set properly on its base the cone has a solid, dependable quality.

I remember in grade school doing milk duty, it was a 2 person job. One person put the cone shaped paper cup in a rubber base and the other filled the assembled cup. It was about the time this strip first came out.

Cone cups at the drink coolers at work. Take your sip and get back after it.
