Shoe by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly for February 17, 2010

Bad, bad pun.

Worse than Frank & Ernst.

“Whenever you take vaccine, take it aurally [sic]

For you know the other way is more painfully”

Allan Sherman

Isn’t this a form of identity theft? And you pay for it?

Wow, JP Steve, somebody else who’s old enough to remember that one! :-)

Embrace the colors…

susan, please finish the line…….so well. a boo to the play on words. well, not really a boo. i’m just sorry i read the last panel. should have been a warning sign or flashing light, something.

Etherial colors. In otherwords, she’ll charge you lots of green for a bunch of brown.

The all powerful OZ has spoken. Plese pay in pounds on the out of my tree.

Madame Zoo Doo, what kind of Voodoo do you do?

You remind me of a man…..

A hand-reading is $5, and a crystal ball is $20. But if you want aural, it’s gonna cost extra.

We’re quoting Allen Sherman now (RIP)? Weird Al’s secret creator. Now I got to get out my Tom Leary discs and try to counter. Then someone escalates to Johnathan Winters…

I’ll see your Johnathan Winters and raise you an Arthur Godfry!

BTW, it’s Tom Lehrer.

Hello muddah…Hello faddah… I’m still here…at Camp Granada….

I don’t know if anyone else noticed this or not and whether or not this just refers to those of us who receive E mails with our favorite comic strips - but it appears that Go comics is offering EVERYONE FOURTEEN days of FREE access to the comic archives as a Valentine’s Day present! At any rate, when I clicked on the link in my E mail - I ended up on a page with the following message:

The link in my E mail from Go Comics:

http://blogs.gocomics.com/

“We at GoComics want to wish you a Happy Valentine’s Day! Since it would be impractical to send each and every one of our users a big box of gamble chocolate or a even a little candy heart stamped “U R COOL”, we’re offering all users 14 days of FREE unlimited access to our archives!

For the next two weeks, feel free to browse our entire collection of comics! This is your chance to go back and enjoy modern classics like Calvin and Hobbes, Doonesbury, Garfield, FoxTrot and The Boondocks, or newer hits like Lio, Cul de Sac and Pooch Cafe, from the very beginning! (Click on any of the preceding links to be taken directly to those comics’ first strips.)

To read your favorite comic from the beginning of our archives, click the double-back-arrow button above the comic (circled in the image below), and start reading.”

Since Shoe is one of the few strips with the kind of past history which makes being able to access the archives worth the time - I thought I would mention it to everyone here and you all can see if it works for everyone or just those of us who receive our favorite strips via E mail.

Best to you all - Happy belated Valentine’s Day!
