Goodbye, My Darling Little Cat

Image
  Jinjur awaiting treats, and why am I taking my time about it? T his is Jango and Jinjur, respectively.  Jinjur showed up at the trailer park I lived at in 2001.  She was just a kitten.  At the time I had a no pets policy that had been in place since I was divorced.  I fed her, and a couple of days later I looked across the street and she was staring at me.  I walked over and got her and I love her more every day.  She has very little use for me except for the treat thing.

Mice - A Small Story

Image
Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it. It began with the forging of the Great Tabs.  For within these tabs was bound the strength and the will to govern each race. But they were all of them,.. deceived.    For another tab was made. In secret the Dark Lord forged a master pop top, and into this tab he poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life.    This is the one pop top tab. One Tab To Rule Them All. https://youtu.be/wOsb02uPOyw       The time will soon come when mice will shape the fortunes of all. https://discover.therookies.co/schools/isart-digital/

Jingle Jangle Tales Part The Second

Image
Jingle Jangle Tales # 11, December 1944.  George Carlson. Everything in a Carlson strip is anthropomorphic.  I usually disapprove of talking birds as I don't think they are realistic! https://www.scottedelman.com/2015/01/09/1952-comic-book-ad-promised-to-land-you-a-movie-contract/ Brownwood Bulletin, September 19, 1966   Jingle Jangle Tales # 15, June 1945.  Dave Tendlar.  I assume that every other gag writer in the entire U. S. A. was pinned down by hostile fire on Okinawa.   Blanche Seal Hunt (1912–1973) was the creator of the Little Brown Koko series of children stories, which initially appeared monthly in HOUSEHOLD Magazine for more than a decade. In full-length book form, Little Brown Koko titles sold more than 600,000 copies.   ...are white .  The only saving grace to this illustration is that it shows a (Semetic) white father about to stab his blond son to death because God told him to do so...
