Prickly City by Scott Stantis for April 11, 2009

OK, who’s going to stay up and wait for Doctortoon to get in from his date?

I’ve plugged the coffee pot into the timer, and there is fresh OJ in the fridge. The gazebo is erected, and the lounge chairs are set out. Enjoy!

Looks almost like another Wile-E-Coyote Rip-off. :D

Since I have read that Winslow is an Obama supporter I am forced to tell him that like Obama’s policies, he will not fly, merely glide for a few feet, but destined to come crashing down to earth.

Marg I’m heading to bed. Been playing cards, polished off 2 bottles of rum & started on a third! Got 30 dozen assorted Krispy Kreme donuts for the gang! I have a feeling I’m gonna need that coffee!

Their names were Orville and Wilbur. The rest is history …

Winslow has always wanted to fly since Prickly City began. One of these days….. . The best thing about this toon is that since Winslow and Carmen met, they have been great friends. Each has been there for the other even during their political differences, Winslow is liberal and I think Carmen sways between Conservative and Libertarian. They each have vehemently expressed their views but it hasn’t come between their bond for each other. . Morning, everyone. I’m going to try to get in a little ‘toon grazing before commencing with todays chores. . Ad-Aware just caught a background presence and started a scan on my PC here. I think gocomics has some little critters in their system. I’ve always got a lot of cleaning to do although they have not been the malicious type.

Morning everyone! Marg, thanks for setting things up. Wow, JFri, have a good rest. DrToon, hope you had a good evening. Rad, I know what you mean about the critters here. I always have to clean up too.

Good morning everyone. I just had to check in here. HAPPY SATURDAY EVERYBODY. Here in the southeast sunshine is back after an evening of thunderstorms & tornadoes.

JF I am especially wishing you a nice day cause you must be suffering from a bad case of hangover. Recover well.

Morning all! Nozzi I have never been hung over…ever. I guess it’s a gift! Don’t know why but I never get headaches, either! I would make a good alcoholic except I have better sense than that. docT we want details!!

Oh Winslow! That idea is doomed to fail!

Morning all! doc beat me to Overboard. Left him a little message over there!

Thanks Marg! That was quick work with the gazebo! Looks like it might be a fine day for it too! At least here anyway!

JFri you’re a glutton for punishment, aren’t you?

JFrI no sign of Joy yet! Was she playin’ cards with you guys?

Dry no, she polished off her own keg of rum and crawled in to bed I think! I just figured out why I don’t get hung over or headaches….”if I only had a brain” That sound familiar to anyone else? Seems like I’ve heard that before…..

What we have is President Obama trying to convince the Republocrats to join in. Should things go south, then he can blame Bush.

carmy tabby’s back! See WTP

Dry tabby was on Calvin, too!

Dry, I went and saw her comments. Happy to hear all is well with her. WOO HOO! A very good time for the doctor ;) I invited tabby to the party. Joy is still MIA?

be back later, going to check the news, i saw a photo of my husband’s ship on msnbc. this is really nerve wracking.

carmy i’ve been following the news today!

Ok guys, we’ll have to clean up our act a little! Tabby is underage!

Doctoon DETAILS!!! (I’m kidding, but I know JFri isn’t! :-D

Where’s Joy?! It’s almost 1 PM.

hey Doc is that yoour ladyfriends legs?

Doc No wonder you always got a smile on your face! :-D

I have to leave for a bit. I suppose Joy wil show up while I’m gone. :-(

hello all, I must admit I like the spirit of adventure in Winslow. Makes me feel like going out and doing something stupid.

Thanks doc! Good night and have a happy Easter too.

Carmy out of respect for your husband and his situation I have abandoned my avitar and replaced it. My thoughts & prayers are with you and your entire family!

hop,hop, hippity-hop……hop,/hop…”What’s all the Hub-Bub, Bub?” chew,chew)……hop,hop…hop

commicaddict, aargh, thank you for that very nice gesture. It’s quite alright with me if you want to change your avatar back. Aye, I really did like it and all the piratey talk too.

commicaddict that was very thoughtful of you! What happened to everybody? Gee, I leave and the party’s over?

BTW, I have heard from my husband, via email, he is doing okay. So Joy is still missing huh? I hope she’s okay.

I don’t know, maybe it’s nap time.

G’day, Drystryha. It’s a great day out today 69° outside and partially clowdy but I’m still stuck inside trying to put together a couple web sites. . I think Commicaddict is very thoughtful for his change of avatar for Carmy until the present ruckus is over. But like one other likable pirate, Capt. Jack Sparrow, perhaps he’ll bring his Jolly Roger back eventually.

Doc: I’m glad that you had a good time. :-)

commicaddict: That was kind of you.

carmy I’m glad you heard from youf hubby and that he’s okay! :-)

I was just going to mention Joy. I hope she’s okay too!

commicaddict since carmy doesn’t mind, you should change your second identity back! It is pretty cool! Aargh!!

Marg, Are you from Chicago? That’s where my husband’s from. I lived there for about 8 years. I worked at an insurance company across the street from the Sears Tower on Wacker.

hey Rad wondered where yoou were! We still havewn’t heard from Joy and are hoping she is okay! Is that what you do for a living, design websites? Its about 55 here with the sun shining.

Actually I’m between jobs and using the time to put together a couple sites for my resume, genealogy and a personal site including cartoon links.

Rad wish I knew how to odo all that stuff on a computer!

I went and set up a coupla free sites on webs.com. It pretty well does the work and you just make a coupla aesthetic decisions. after the site’s created you go in ediit and make all the changes. . Occasionally it just gets aggravating when it won’t do what you want HOW you want.

Gee Rad just you and me tonight, huh? What is on your webs.com? Can anyone access it? Man I wonder where Joy is? She never misses at least a brief appearance.

I will be in and out as it my oldest sons’s last night at home, leaves tomr. after noon meal. :-(

Joy that’s IT! I’m comin’ to get you! And are you gonna get it!

JFri I’ll join your search party! Rad, Carmy, you in?

Drystryha - I’m working on several webs presently, www.DFFarris.webs.com, and www.Radical-Knight.webs.com. I’m presently reorganizing the second one. It’s not hard, just time consuming. I don’t mean to be avoiding anyone here.

Rad no worry! Not many showed up for the party today!

I wish I knew where the he** Joy was!

AAAAARRRRRRR by yer permission, Carmy and with encouragement from Dry I have reassumed me original identity! Shiver me timbers!! where be the troublesome Joy. She has me worried more than just a mite!

yea commicaddict Me Too! Joy where in the >hell> are you, our friend?

Wanna make Winslow history?

AAArrrr commicaddict, avast matey, go yonder and find that troublesome Joy.

Dry Got steaks on the grill, fresh asparagus & baked ‘tater with a nice cabernet. You in? And where is that Joy???

JFri, I’m in, smells delicious, make my steak medium well, please.

Carmy No problem! I like mine medium rare….it’s a little juicier to me! The wine is a local Oregon variety. Hey, what do yard & work have in common? They’re both 4 letter words!

Thanks JFri, I think I’ll have to trade in my wine for some iced tea. I’ll be using 4 letter words next week, starting with yard and work.

JFri count me in! Can’t think of a better meal! AND WEHRE THE HE;; IS THAT JOY OF OURS? SHES’S GOT SOME ‘SPLAINING TO DO!**

I went looking for Joy, couldn’t find her. I don’t think she’s been on here all day.

nO CARMY SHE HASN’T AND SHE AT LEASTS POPS IN THE SAY HI!

Carmy Iced tea it is! Bummer about next weekend/yard work. I’m going camping at the beach. Dry You got it….coming right up! No rum for me tonight! And you’re right about Joy!!! Boy the party sure is quiet tonight!

Glad to hear it doc! Thought you had to work tonight? Yea, we need more lerts in the world! :-)

I know Joy lives in my area and if I knew where I’d go check on her. She better have a good splanation!

carmy have you met Joy face to face?

No, Dry. I only know that she lives in my area.

Hi again folks, Dry, mind if I ask where your son is heading off too tomorrow?

johnnydoc5 not the military if that’s what you’re thinking, just back to the town he graduated college, to go back to his job.

OK, just wondering. I think the party started to pick up some when it turned into a search party.

Chocolate sodas on deck now! For you Carmy I have vanilla! And for Joy I have Chivas Regal on the rocks with a twist! (Baiting the Joy trap ladies/guys!)

G’nite docT Happy Easter to all before you all start leaving! PS Dry I’ve been doing this from the Blackberry again!

Thank you kindly for the vanilla soda. Sorry, I’m going to have to say good night. My girls are making some cookies and they want me to watch “The King and I” (Yul & Deborah) with them. Have a Blessed day tomorrow, ya’ll. I hope we hear from Joy tomorrow.

doc Happy Easter! I’m sure our time here will be limited tomr.

JFri Showoff!! :-D

carmy King & I great movie! Enjoy! Blessings to you & yours on Easter! And yes, I hope we hear from Joy as well!

Happy Easter everyone! Night all! Sweet dreams to all of you!

Good night all I’ll clean up & put things away.

okay. so i am now here. this is cute. i wanna be part of history.

Tabby let me introduce myself. I am known as JFri to Joy618, Carmy & Drystyha and have, I think, become their friend. We came up with this crazy idea to have an ongoing virtual party. I think most have gone for the night and tomorrow may be sporadic but check in here often. We always come by sooner or later!
