Exciting developments this past week on my humor blog. I've finished one MiSTing and am starting in on another, almost the oldest one in my repertoire. I get an odd feeling of inferiority from an unlikely comic strip and see the end of Australia's oldest newspaper comic so far as I know. All this plus a rambling piece about me getting a bill for the Pennsylvania Turnpike (only the part I used, don't worry) and more, as linked below:
- MiSTed: The Rangers of NIMH II, Part 12
- In Which _Hi and Lois_ Teaches Me Something
- Statistics Saturday: Letters Not In The Name Of Any US State
- Terry Beatty Messes With My Head by Not Upstaging Me
- The Official End of Summer Is Here
- What's Going On In Rex Morgan, M.D.? Who's Kelly and her friends? May - August 2023
- Ginger Meggs, Only Australian Comic Strip I Could Name, Ended
- MiSTed: Altered Destiny, Part 1
You know what? Let's do some more rabbit pictures.
Rabbit, rabbit! ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
bunnyhugger enjoys a bit with Roger sitting in her lap. Note her World's Largest Bunny Hop 5K t-shirt.
This is not to say Roger will stay there forever even though he hops into her lap often enough.
``Um ... Roger, why are you licking the armrest?'' He's a licker, that's all there is to say.
Bye! Roger takes a moment to back and check on his hay. Also to eat hay.
Roger wants to drink Dr Pepper, the little freak. It's probably the smell, although curiously he doesn't seem so interested in Pepsi Zero Mango. Maybe if he ever had a bit of mango he'd change his mind.
Roger demanding to know why he's been locked up just for grabbing a Dr Pepper.
Trivia: In 1921 when the Garment Centre Capitol complex opened in Manhattan (at west 7th Avenue and 37th street) the 22-and-17-storey buildings housed seventy needlework companies employing around twenty thousand workers. It was the largest single center for manufacturing garments in the world. Source: Greater Gotham: A History of New York City from 1898 to 1919, Mike Wallace.
