More Shoes, Glorious Shoes!

Today is 12-13-14.  Not only does Friday the 13th fall on a Saturday this month, it's the last sequential day of the 21st century.  Next up is 01-02-03, in 2103. I have something planned, Bob

More shoes and a (repeat) bonus at the end.  Between Friends, In The Bleachers (surprise!), Rubes, Speed bump, Real Life Adventures, Sherman's Lagoon, and a repeat from Howland and Churchy.

Churchy's full name is Churchill LaFemme but everyone calls him Churchy, which is how you'd pronounce the French Cherchez.  Cherchez La Femme literally means "look for the woman" and comes from a French novel.  The reference is to the fact that when there is a crime, or irrational or out-of-character behaviour and one needs to find a reason, "look for the woman."

I just think it's cute that his last name is "the woman."

I WANT A PAIR!

The ex had a box of that.

I felt like Art.

That was taken from our ceremony.

The absolute best!

Sunday Funnies ~ Shark!

I know I did some Jim Toomey's Sherman's Lagoon last month, but I have saved up a LOT over the years and whenever I look at them again I still laugh.

I want to share with my friends.

Besides, I'm still on the beach theme.  AND while at the Outer Banks I saw a shark take a big bite out of another shark.  I didn't see the outcome so I don't know if the bitee survived.

Fillmore isn't handy with the ladies

And Hawthorne's just evil

LOVE the trashapult

I would do this.

Shermanesque

I've long been a fan of Sherman's Lagoon.  The only screensaver I've ever used was from SL and it was animated.  Fish would swim from right or left.  If a shark met a small fish there was a "gulp" sound and the fish was dinner.  If a puffer met a swordfish, the puffer popped (to an appropriate sound).

But sometimes Sherman goes over to the Saturday cartoon side.  Here are a half-dozen.  Please click to enlarge.

Panel 3 makes the joke work.

Many of us have thought about it :)

He says "HEY!"...

...but here he splits.

Me.  Too.

Experiment is good.

Sunday Funnies

I love a little metahumour

Say What?

I've enjoyed Sherman's Lagoon for a long time.  Sherman's been in here at least a half-dozen times.  Back when screen savers were somewhat new, I had a Sherman's Lagoon one that had various fish swimming across the screen.  If a swordfish swam into a pufferfish, the pufferfish popped.  If a shark met a certain small fish the shark would gulp the little guy down.  Other than that, it was just... fish and stuff.

Before the Washington Post picked up Sherman, I had another reason to enjoy it: the images were in a predictable place with predictable names, and they appeared a week ahead of the newspaper.  So once a week I would load a personal page that gave me next week's Sherman.  Alas, that no longer works, but I still love the strip.  Who would think a strip that involves sharks eating "hairless beach apes" would be funny?  Remember to click to enlarge.

What?  No Herman on stage? :(

I Think I'm Starting to Understand Shopping

It's FUN.  When I was growing up, I knew shopping at electronics stores and stationary stores was fun.  As Meg grew up, I learned that shopping for clothes, shoes, cosmetics, and jewelry was fun too.  And I learned the difference between buying and shopping.  It's pretty much the difference between catching and fishing.  Catching means Work Follows.  Fishing is fun and relaxing.  Sometimes, buying is Catching, and shopping is Fishing.

And since I'm on that fish analogy....

and sometimes, shoes are art ~ a thing of beauty

Something's Going On In Kapupu Lagoon

Kapupu is the geographical name of Sherman's Lagoon.  This is, the third t-reference in two months.

I wonder if Toomey is trying to tell us something ~ I'll know for sure if I see a tilde in his strip!
