Free Range by Bill Whitehead for September 12, 2023

“Etched” in comedy.

Command performance

cartoon ideas or the 10 suggestions?

Cartoon ideas? Is that what it’s come down to?

I am definitely not a religious person but the 10 commandments do seem to be a good ideal to live by.

Always go with the classics, even if the precise language has to change. Like:

Q: “Did you get a haircut?”

A: “No, I got ’em all cut.”Q: “How’s your wife/husband?”

A: “Compared to whom?”Q:“Who was that lady I saw you with?”

A: “That was no lady. That was my wife.”

I’ve always got a chuckle about coveting my neighbor’s a$$.

What’s with all the “coveting”?

1) Thy desert isle shall have one palm tree

2) Thy desert shall have one cow skull

3) Thy psychiatrist’s office shall have a couch for the patient

4) …{OK, help me out here folks}

Ohh! This strip is from after the first tablet was dropped! https://www.youtube.coM/watch?v=nXeTsWGPT0w

HA!! llelujah.

Bill talking to his colorist…

Best to just laugh, Moses…

Standup Comedian: “Here’s one… And what’s deal with all the Manna recipes.?”

Problem with being God is you can’t be sure you’re getting an honest answer when eliciting someone’s opinion. (Come on, who’d want to risk offending God?) Oh, wait, if you’re God, you know everything, so you know if someone’s being honest with you, right? Wait — since you know everything, you also already know whether or not your cartoon ideas are funny, so why do you need to ask? You also have the power to make everyone think the ideas are funny, whether they really are or not . . .

God gives me a headache.
