   The last ‘bottle’ of shampoo I bought, was at least a decade ago. And it’s still at least 2/3rds full. A “lifetime supply”, I think : )

   Oh, good grief.

   (I feel I’ve been around for a couple of cycles at least, but I don’t recall seeing a soccer story?)

   I liked it better when the writer turned out to be the Dowager Countess’ butler.

   He’s certainly a spot now.

   You’re the artist Bill… if you can’t get your own mug right?

   I just hope that Gertie has a baseball bat next to the front door, so she can disabuse these pests that she and Walt have any interest in listening to their petty grievances.

   It’s a full classics update for the 20th:

   I believe Walt has reached his limit as to how much he’s willing to prepare for this London trip, he’s getting positively loopy.

   It’s the showdown between Rick and Obit… and the revenge-seeking rustler lurking back in the alley (not OUR Alley).

   Maryjane is bidding farewell to so many classmates, whose upper-class parents are pulling their kids out of a college run by a dirty, low-down son-of-a-gangster. She’s stuck playing out the hand her alumnus aunt dealt her.

   And Doc is headed out on a hunting trip.. possibly a solo trip? And the garage crew are looking to get in some ribbing after checking out his all-terrain camping jeep. Maybe someone can explain this one better, but I feel the punchline was a glancing blow, at best.

   I forgot to mention somewhere, it sure looks to me like the lady forgot the ice cream to go with her cakes (and that’s AWFUL)… so she’s having Skeezix hand-crank some for her. At least it looks like an ax and chewed up hunk of ice on the ground, near what at first glance looked like a very primitive clothes washer.

   Thank goodness, I’m drawing a blank on what to say about this revoltin’ development.

   Good morning, Shika… and crew!

    Slim probably set Gretchen’s old “See and Say” for 7am. It’s a wonder he ever makes it to the church on time.

    It’s a catch up day on the Classics Cannonball, updates for the 18th and 19th:

    Though just the one Depression era Alley – Skeezix has a job to do. Did Phyllis ‘volunteer’ Rachel to make the refreshments for a ladies group gathering? Is anyone going to pay her for the ingredients, much less some cash for going above and beyond the job description?

    Rick and Johnny Obit face each other out on the street… but if you think Hipshot’s going to save the day? He can’t even bear to put his hands back on a gun. (Unless he’s out on a hunting trip, then he’s supremely confident in his abilities.)

    There is a bride more than happy to see if Brenda’s old gown can deliver a husband or not. Tornado is having a ruff time making out what all the fuss has been around the apartment.

    Eve is annoyed by her first meeting with the school’s hoops captain, but he has that certain something which makes an underclassman look up to him.
