Adam@Home by Rob Harrell for September 06, 2009
Transcript:
Adam: Well, the pool closes today. The portent of summer's pending demise, but I thank ye summer. We drank your lemonade. We bathed in your vitamin-D rich sunlight. We jarred your amiable lightning bugs. We perspired in your August dank. We laughed in your gentle wind. We danced in your cool showers. We fled your stinging pests. But alas, I have not come here to mourn the death of summer, I have come to praise its glory. Clayton: Bravo! But why can't we use it next week it it's hot? Adam: Hmm. Good point. Can I do my speech again? Clayton: Sure, pop. Go crazy. Adam: I'm already there, son. I'm already there.

Well, in some places he may have jumped the gun, but here in Montana, September usually brings fall weather and forest fires. We would want to keep the pool just to have the water handy.

He can forget using his speech here in south Florida. Like I said in a previous posting a few days ago, there is no end to summer here. And I’m much too big to snorkle in a little kid’s wading pool!

Does Brian Bassett even DO this strip anymore? The drawings are “slicker” and much less appealing and Adam is certainly a lot more pompous.

Yes, he does the writing; there is simply another artist doing the drawing.

Hey Jackknife, are you sure about that? The writing seems to have improved at the same time as the drawing changed.

Amen.

I was a fan of the old Adam, but I must begrudingly say I read the new one more regularly and appreciate the writing and look of it more.

Insanity is hereditary—you get it from your children.

@one8romeo, I agree with you wholeheartedly
