Looks Good on Paper by Dan Collins for May 18, 2022

What’s the seedy underside like?

Doesn’t sound very exciting!!

Is that from before the GOP took over?

That sounds like my typical day in upstate New York.

I seem to recall this being on an episode of The Andy Griffith Show. Andy and Barney are sitting on the porch after church, in the heat of the day, and Barney is telling Andy what his plans were for the rest of the day. Wow, I can remember that but I couldn’t remember to take my lunch out of the fridge this morning.

For excitement later you can go down to the John Deere store and see the new threshers.

Have a nap after the special at The Snappy Lunch.

Sounds like a nice relaxing day.

And to vote for JD Vance, because Trump told his far-right conservative cult to do so

Am I right that referring to pop as “pop,” with the implication that only small-towners hanging on from a long-gone simpler era call pop “pop,” is a crucial part of the joke?

We’ve got trouble, right here, with a capital t that rhymes with p and that stands for pool.

But I like to go swimming in the summer.

Nah. Thelma Lou don’t put out.

Are we sure this isn’t Mayberry?

Should also say…no crime…shootings…murder….or stuff like that!!

Does Yellow Springs still knit sweaters for their telephone poles and/or trees?

More like Every Town, USA.

Like that town in Texas in “The Last Picture Show”
