I’ve got to stop delaying the post with the idea of adding another segment. So it turned into a double post of sorts a bit before midnight today – a classic comics update for the 18th and 19th:
I’m not sure if the new dog, with the stubby tail is a particular breed, but now he has to meet the Pal of the house.
This town ain’t big enough for the co-founders of a town near Conniption.
A double update of Brenda has the readers finding out the fate of Maryjane Jones…
and a double update shows the rest of the night Rufus and Melba spent the night together.
Partially to let whoever was in the car know they didn’t need to call anyone, and I had my flip phone in case I started feeling it before I made it home ; )
It’s a shame, I enjoyed their antics in the comments here.. but I’m sure that would be ALOT of effort, time and expense to raise the whole lot yourself. I hope all the pups find good forever homes soon, and Momma’s okay too.
Goober was Gomer’s cousin who could “fix ’em”, and thought it was an honor just to be allowed to work on such a high-class car like the businessman had. I think they were both introduced in that episode.

Well, the conductor needs to apologize for running the classics train right off the rails.. I took a minor fall, and while the toll was a few scrapes and a couple of scabs – there’s also (what I believe is just) a bruised rib where I hit hardest against the cart that upturned and brought me down. It broke my fall to the pavement though, so a pretty good result I’d say, considering.
But I needed a bit of time there. Here’s the classics updates for the 16th and 17th, all which just posted to the usual place:
Walt and Skeezix drive to the Express office (No FedEx or UPS in 1931, much less Amazon .. unless you’re counting inherited logging interests .. but they pick up the new watchdog, which needs a name.
As Jessie Bell agrees to comply with the court order and release water to the valley again, Curly and his surviving co-horts start to carry out his revenge plan against the boss who fired them.
It’s a pity the Tobacco Wars are over after just a few months. I mean, World War II lasted 4½ years, and kept reporters in copy constantly. Now Hank and Brenda need to find the next interesting story. But as Abretha starts to make her way into town, Maryjane gets the idea that she’s gonna be the odd-girl-out.
Sarge gets back from vacation, but he goes right on fishing… for compliments of how indispensable he is at the Garage. Slim and Skeezix are there to suggest that it’s an uneasy head that wears the crown in the repair shop. Rufus finds an excuse to sneak in on Melba while she’s sleeping. What could possibly go wrong?
Would it be easier/make more sense if on those occasions I’m posting two Brendas and two GA 73’s at one time… I did a double post just as one twit?
Potential bonus: less narration per strip!
