Good morning, Everyone……..

Lil’ Sis…..I would love to have some POTATO SALAD with a little bit of barbequed steak…………………mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…..my favorite meal!!!! So, top it off with one more glass of Merlot, please.

See y’all in the afternoon. (another busy day)

Well I am turning in before the out of order comments drive me nuts.

Good night everyone. Virtual servers are on duty now.

Let’s see hot cocoa with whipped cream sounds good. Thank you virtual server & Little Sister.

Morning TRIBE! I think Morticia Adams is ready to pitch at the BIG TOP.

Morning LITTLE SISTER (or the faceless goddess as she is affectionately known at BT). ML’s choice of potato salad is intriguing, but I have half a chocolate cake I ought to eat our of respect for SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED. I guess the only diplomatic path is to eat both, but I’m gonna need a lot of DTWFNC to wash them down.

Good morning, Montana Lady, ♥Little Sister♠, Ooops! & Lewreader.

Potato salad sounds good. I;ll have that & the steak and a PEPSI, please.

Pop

good morning tribeandall

and

Grog!

I’ll have what Grog’s having - but make the steak black and blue tooncomment: EEK! toontour Pooph

Good Morning, Grew-uh, Crew (sorry). What, Really? There’s someone named Mighty Mouse in our group?

Good Morning. I don’t come to this area often.

Good Morning. When I’m not helping the in meadow with a problem, I’m here. So good morning Joshy-Poo, Cindy Knight, Montana Lady, Grog, Little Sister, Ladycheetah, and others.

Good Morning, Tribe

I see you brought all of you this morning, Josh.

Good Morning, Doc, Grog, Sir Lew, LuvH8, Montana Lady, Li’l Sister, Josh/Tink/Cindy/Dora and……………………………………

Plods w!!

Good morning all Dora D,Doctor Toon,Ladycheetah, ♥Little Sister♥, Big Sister, Only Tink, Lewreader,Plods D, Grog,Josh, welcome Cindy Knight,Montana Lady, ♠Lonewolf♠,The Sojourner,Serenekity, and whoever else comes on I miss

Doctor Toon I’m glad Mighty Mouse has a great time. I also remember when you said she went to a prom. In my mind of never meeting her I could picture how beautiful she was then.

I finally Sunday did get my rough draft essay. I did a little better then I thought. I will never be a formal writer. I have to change a couple writings. Sadly I only have a few days left to complete and turn in.

Doc, say “hi” to Mightymouse & Ladycheetah for me.

Good Morning, ♥Kab♥.

Hopefully next year commentor’s can change their icons. For technology that keeps moving this is sure slow on changing.

Good morning, Peeps!

Watch out for flying knives!!

Just running thru wondering where the party is. Lots of long-lost names showing up today. (Were they just waiting until I left?) ;-)

Good Morning, Bmonk.

Good morning, Everyone!

Well, if everything goes as planned, TOMORROW and THURSDAY will be spent in Yellowstone!!!! Woo Hoo!

Only part of the road is open, so we are limited to where we can drive. But, Old Faithful will be available. I’ll try to let y’all know sometime tomorrow at approximately what time we’ll be at the web cam.

Can’t wait to see all those Bison Babies!

Hi, ♠Lonewolf♠ , DocT, & ♥Kab♥.

♥Kab♥, good luck on the writing!

DocT, sleep well!

♠Lonewolf♠, how did the pool go?

≡≡ P O P ! ≡≡ ♪ Good Morning TRIBE! ♪

Hello to all those here!

I’ll have the turkey, vegetables, cranberry sauce and DWFNC, thank you ♥Little Sister♥.

Good Morning, Sojo.

Bmonk, we smoked em 5-0. And I won my match fairly easily.

Sounds good, Montana Lady. What’s the weather supposed to be like?

Hi, MT Lady and Sojourner!

Have a good trip, MTLady. I hope the bison and other wildlife are still not too skittish.

Good Morning ♠Lonewolf♠ - Congrats on pool!

Good Morning bmonk - Hope you get a lot out of your workshop!

Thanks, Sojo.

 Good Morning Peoples!

Hey Tribe-

I just wanted to point out why these strips are by guest artists. Back in ‘06 when I had surgery for eye cancer, a group of insanely nice and talented cartoonists filled in for me for two weeks while I had surgery for (eye) cancer. Yesterday’s was by Mark Pett, today’s is by Glenn McCoy. If you have any questions about who the strips are by in the coming couple of weeks, I’ll try to stop by and answer questions. It’s an insanely cool list of cartoonists…

I can’t thank this group enough. With their help, I think we got through the whole ordeal with only a week of reruns. In February, I reached my five year anniversary of the surgery and I’m still here - and I couldn’t be happier about that. Endless thanks to my colleagues, friends, family and my amazing wife for getting me through a horrible time.

And thanks to you all in ‘the tribe’ for showing up and making this a lively place every day. And for the breakfasts!

 Congratulations Rob!

Good Morning Ooops! - ???

Thank you for stopping by to comment Rob Harrel! - Thanks for the insite and glad to hear things are going fine for you! :-)

Hi Sojo

And thanks for the strip Rob, I enjoy it. I did not get to see it when it came out so every day is new to me!

Good Morning, LuvH8!

Thank you, Rob Harrel. It’s nice of you to stop by once in a while. Good to hear that everything is going well and that you had so many willing to help out in a time of need. We do miss not having new strips for Big Top! :^)

Hello Lonewolf!

I am trying to be good from now on, though it may be easier to cut out my tongue. I wonder where you can get that done?

Grats to you and your team. How are you doing in the standings?

Our Tuesday team is in the playoffs. We have one more week to get ready for the playoffs. Thursday team still has 3 more weeks left and we are teetering on the final confirmed playoff spot.

Big Sister don’t change your ways for us. Harder to live the life of a good person. I hope you can still have fun. Time for my lunch, change and go. For Mr. Harrel I hope all goes well with you. I haven’t been on BT as much as others.

Playoffs start next week. The only way we will make it this session is if we win the draw for the last spot.

MeBeGood?

bwahahahahahaha!!

heeheeeheeehee SNERK

Um WHY?

Ahem….

ahahahahahaha!!!

ROFLMAOPIMP

Congratulations & Good Luck Lonewolf!

Thank you Kab Sister & Plods, but not everyone in my family appreciates my humor and they really like me to keep my opinions to myself.

Good Morning Plods and ♥Kab♥!

Thank you, Plods w and LuvH8.

Additional tooncomment: I wonder how many bullpen catchers they go through in a year?

Terry shoot me a line when you have the schedule. I’ll see if I can get out to one of your matches…

Sounds like a plan, Plods w.

How’s work going today, Grog?

Hi, tribe! Gocomics is taking long to refresh today, anyone else having that problem? Rest of the websites I’m visiting are working fine. Rob Harrell - Thanks for stopping by and explaining the reason for the guest cartoonists. I’m glad you’ve done well after going through that experience. MeBeGood - My family doesn’t always get my sense of humor either, but that’s why we come here, isn’t it? I’m going to head outside to get some work done while it is warm, sunny, and not too windy.

Hi, Rmom!

Hello Rmom - Enjoy the day!

Hello, Tribe,

I thought I’d check in before going for my walk today. It’s windy, and cold.

Lonewolf……..weather will be “iffy” tomorrow……and in the 40’s……….but Thursday should be sunny and high 40’s. We’ll be in the park both days.

Doc Toon….thanks for sharing about Mighty Mouse….I’m still relatively new to the Big Top and the family, so it’s wonderful to hear about OUR families!

Rob Harrell…..thanks for sharing your story as well. I enjoy the Big Top, and was surprised at the “guest artist”……not sure if these were just “retro” strips. Good luck with your eye! Thank God for “Friends”!!!!

At that, thanks to all this crazy family for making me feel right at home!

Hello Montana Lady - Hope you have a good trip and i am able to spot you!

Greetings TRIBE

I hope everyone is having a great day.

Montana Lady are we crazy? [of course we are but don’t tell anyone]

MeBeGood if your family wants you to keep your opinions to yourself, bring them to us.

Hello serena - My day is great, I hope your day is also!

Hi, Wolfie, Sojo, M’Lady & Serena! Just finished mowing our five acres for the first time this year. Whew! Also burned our trash while the weather was accommodating. I don’t think I have any energy left for more outside work today.

M’Lady - Our weather is just about perfect here today. Sunny, with some white, puffy, cumulus clouds. 70° F, and wind at only about 8 mph. You can keep your cold weather, I’m not interested. :^)

Rmom - Sounds like you got a lot done today.

Things to do.

♪ P&L ♪ ≡≡ POOF! ≡≡

Good Evening, Tribe

Montana Lady, I will be watching the webcam to see you there.

Heading out to pool league now. Should be back before turnover. Have a great evening, everyone!

P&L

Sojo - Yes I did. But I’ve decided for the rest of the summer, the boys will help. (I just wanted to mow the first time to pick up stuff before it got mowed over.) I think if we each take a zone of the acreage, and mow about every other week, we should be able to keep the weeds down, which will help reduce the critter & bug populations. I hope you enjoy BSF tonight! Wolfie - Good luck with your pool!

Good evening, Tribe.

It was another hectic day at the zoo.

Rob, hope everything all goes well for you. I’ve also heard of other helping hands helping out in similar circumstances so it comes as as no surprise that others would step up to help you out.

♠Lonewolf♠, sorry I missed you, but good luck tonight. I’ll likely be in bed before there results come in, too.

Plods w & MeBeGood, if you can’t be good, at least be careful. And it’s good to see you’ll eventually be Plodding with something sometime in the distant future.

I’ve never had this problem at the DMV, but going to the emergency room or Doctor’s appointment can sometime be as bad or worse. At any rate, check out Reality Check

Hi & Bye, Doc

Time to call it a night on this quiet evening.

Gunite, Tribeandall

91 °F was the temperature today where I worked, but that was nothing compared to the fire that broke out today on my way home.

Hello all almost bed time for me. Welcome back ♥Little Sister♥. I seen your facebook.

Greetings, Tribelings!

And Rob, thanks for telling us what’s going on. I came in very late today, but I came in time to see your comments and the reactions of the Tribe to them. Feel free to stop by and enjoy our breakfasts, including my Alternate Breakfasts, any time.
