    For the sake of mankind……….let it not be a plastic whistle.

    Welcome back, Richard! Nice to see your signature in the corner of a new comic.

    And a big thanks to those sweethearts who filled in these past weeks. :)

    So no Stephan Pastis?? I think I’m gonna go cry now…I’d been looking forward to his week since I found out about the guest artists :’(

    I think that Stephan was being attacked by East Coasters at the time, and he never got those strips drawn…

    I am very glad to see RT back, Alice and the gang (especially Dill) never looked right drawn by anyone else

    Alice, keep it up and mom will take the quarter back.

    I’m not sure I would have liked to see Pastis’ take on CdS.

    Again, welcome back, Richard

    Welcome back, Richard! Long live the king! And welcome also to Stacy!Alice! Be nice to your new plastic whistle!

    ………………………………………………………………………………………………I think there may still be a Pastis Sunday strip queued up; that was supposed to be his contribution (rather than a week of dailies), as I understand it.

    Taking inanimate objects to task is one of my favorite past times also.

    Richard and Stacy do make a great team. I did sense that something was a bit different – heavier lines, or something – but it’s still great.Re: The content, when dragging up to four grandkids around to grocery stores, etc.,I get tons of requests for quarters to get tschotskes or rides. My reply: “Grandma doesn’t do machines.”

    Thanks to you all for the kind words. It’s good to be back. Enormous thanks to those 6 talented cartoonists who kept the strip rolling along. And yes, Stephan Pastis did a Sunday strip to run in a few weeks

    It was such a nice surprise to see Richard back today! The strip does look a bit different, but I like it. Besides, a little change is a small price to pay to have the creator back!

    I don’t see comics until late in the day but I reiterate the welcomes for your return, Richard. I HAVE enjoyed the take on your strip by your guest artists and they’ve been wonderful in their own right. Welcome to Stacy also. May health be your blessing!

    I remember as a kid asking my mom for the same thing. However I had a dino dinosaur one that bawked and turned in circles before it laid a plastic egg with a toy inside.
