    They call it “space”. You mean I can’t park in it?

    Yless — my goodness, thank you. That’s very kind — though, y’know, it’s the humor in the strips that brings us all here.

    Ah, but you see, that’s right — it’s a response.To me, it seems much harder to come up with a funny premise out of thin air, illustrate it, and get it published, than to make wiseass comments about it later.That’s why they’re cartoonists and I just comment on a comics site.

    Susan, take the compliment. You’re funny, you’re going to have to learn to live with it.

    “Look. I don’t care if you call your vehicle a moon or a space station, you can’t park it here between 8pm and 8am! And yes, my lack of faith is quite disturbing… pay the fine!”

    It’s not a parking space, it’s an outer space…

    Thanks, Baslim. I remember reading the Burma Shave signs along Rte. 66 as a kid. Mom and I would try to see which of us could spot them first.

    @Dogsniff.. aw, thanks. Your stuff that I’ve read is witty too.

    If only I could ever make a nickel with it, or if even one of the guys who loves me online really did after meeting me, I’d have more faith in the power or usefulness of being funny. LOL

    And thanks Baslim, too. As kids traveling across the country in the back seat of my Dad’s Buick (my Mom never learned to drive) we fought to be the first to read Burma Shave signs.

    I can still think in their simplistic meter, and even wrote a couple of fake ones to go with Brevity cartoons on the old site, which have, of course, now faded into the no parking zone of deep internet space.
