Prior to today’s strip I had not pondered menstruating bats—now all I can think of is how to market Absorbent Vampire Pads…stay prepared, America!

I wanna send some money to Uncle Cap’n so he can buy some of that swell stuff. (Just as I used to do as a dumb little kid seeing those wondrous ads in the comic books.)

“People will always need milk!”
That’s sound philosophy. It might be my new motto.
People will ALWAYS need MILK!

Okay, I don’t get it. Is Chaos Butterfly psychic? Vengeful? Are these traits shared by all butterflies? Is C.B.(Chaos Butterfly) responsible for Irene? Why are they called butterflies, anyway, and not flutter-by’s, which is about all they do, anyway. Seem pretty useless to me. I agree completely with the old codger about milk. Maybe sixty years ago! Jeez. But I digress. I just wanted to say -Uncle Cap’n is my freakin’ HERO, man! Money, dames, guns. Dude got it all.

James Caan??!!! One of the best movies ever made was “Bottlerocket”. James has a smallish part in it but it is a GREAT movie. Stars Owen & Luke Wilson. That one’s a keeper. James is great in it! Google it! You can thank me later!

donaldo, there are a number of posters on this site (naming no names) who probably see that as the only SENSIBLE comic Bolling has ever drawn…

I never see any milkmen in my neighborhood, so there must be a lot of job openings.(I’m thinking about putting in an application.)

Do vampire bats drink each other’s (or their own) menstrual blood?
