Shoe by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly for August 12, 2023

Give or take a month or two…..

i did 21 years in the US Navy. a drop in the bucket.

So went the McDonald’s 1/3 pound burger.

In case you’re wondering, the strip first ran 13 Sep ’77.

I saw a guy on the train holding a newspaper in front of his face.

He was behind The Times.

I asked my daughter if I could borrow a newspaper.

“This is the 21st century” she said. “We don’t waste money on newspapers. Here, use my iPad”.

I can tell you this… That fly never knew what hit him…

Newspaper warns of escaped psychic Dwarf

Headline reads…

“Small Medium at Large!”

Fifty of one … a half century of the other.

Six of one … a half dozen of the other.

7 or one a half dozen of the other.

Hmm. The Tattler and hip hop began together. Coincidence?

It does, Loon. Sometimes it seems longer.

Good ‘ol’ Loon makes another startling statement ! ! !

Guess they don’t have much of retirement plan at the Tattler.

Mathematics is not one of Loons strong points.

why does half-century sound longer than 50years?

According to Wikipedia, the strip launched September 13, 1977.

Duh.

I am studying methimedicks. Right now I’m learning how to spell it.

Hip hop turns 50 this year.

Classic Gilligan response. Or Lou Costello.

Launch date: September 13, 1977. 46 years of funny.
