When I’d bring cookies to family get-togethers I’d label mine as to chocolate chip or raisin. One of uncles (Mom’s brother) hated raisins ever since he was a kid and I wanted to let him know which they were. It stemmed from his childhood and them having to be on food commodities which gave their family lots of raisins. I don’t know if he just didn’t like them OR they had to eat so many they got to hate them. Mom didn’t like them, either. My Dad loved them and I do, too!
I enjoy reading Baldo every day and ‘get it’! Today was a bit over the line for me, which was why I mentioned it. I will still read the strip…it’s one I look forward to!
Personally, I do not appreciate ‘political’ stuff in my comics on the comic page of my paper. We have enough of that in the rest of the paper. Too many are stooping to add this type of subject to their comic creations.
I have a problem with this comic and it being on the comic page of our newspaper. It fits on an opinion page, not on the comic page. It doesn’t take into consideration the reasons why many, including me, object to the ‘throw open the doors’ (if we have any) and ‘come on in’ policy.
I consider this comic a snide and out of place ‘comment’ by the creator; it’s a slam at Christians all over this World.
I love Pickles and have to read it every day. I always find it funny, but today, I believe, is the first time I laughed out loud at one…lol…this one caught me off guard and is totally funny… :)
