Red and Rover by Brian Basset for May 26, 2012

Almost summer…time for Red and Rover’s lemonade, made in the shade, stirred with a frosty blade! Yay!

Good marketing strategy Red.

Hey Red, the state will be by any minute to check for your permit.

I just hope it’s not watered down.

Hey Red, the county will be by to bust you for violating the zoning law(sign too big, too close to the sidewalk, etc.). Good luck! :-)

gmforde & bbadenov remember that this is set in the 1960’s NOT today. So those stupid sign, and permit rules haven’t even been DREAMED of yet!

That’t WHY they’re the “GOOD Old Days”

That’s a great business plan, Red!

The late 1960s was the start of “highway beautification,” when kitchy signs like this were under fire and they were starting to make gas stations look like ranch homes.

So, Red, why haven’t you started taking it down? Do you hope he’ll raise the offer?

I get my lemonade from Alex’s Lemonade Stand
