Wife Croc: Larry! Someone hacked into our online Bank Account and transferred money out of it! Larry: Again? Wife Croc: Yes! Again, Larry! I told you to change the password to something more secure. Larry: Me did. It no longer my birfday. Wife Croc: What is it now? Larry: 'Larry.' Wife Croc: I think they can figure that out, Larry!! Larry: Grrr... Dey so clever.
Yesterday, Sunday, Sept. 27th, Stephan gave a presentation at the Palladium Theater in St. Petersburg, FL. I attended, and enjoyed about an hour and twenty minutes of great entertainment. We laughed! We clapped! (I was sitting up in the balcony with a couple of sixtyish folks who sat there like statues while the rest of us were carrying on. Don’t know why they bothered coming.) Anyhow, another guy sat across from Stephan and asked him questions. Different Pearls strips would be shown and Stephan would talk about them. He went into outrageous things he’d done that would upset the censors, elaborate schemes he’d work out with other cartoonists to run certain things on the same day, the thrill he’d had in working with Bill Watterson, the fallout from his (fake) breakup with Stacy, and other fun topics. Then he took questions from the audience, and brought down the house with some of his quips. Wish I had time to go into more specific detail, but it’s too late for me to think and this is long enough.To sum up, you done good, Steph!P. S.: Stephan, there were an unusual number of old folks (like me) in the crowd, because this was St. PETERSburg, FL! Until the Chamber of Commerce put the kibosh on it, people elsewhere used to call St. Pete “the City of the Newlywed and Nearly Dead.” We still kind of are.
