Coming Soon š At the beginning of April, youāll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
These block party blockheads donāt realize that all their neighbors have to do is go out the front door and they are at the party. Although I think most of them will be keeping their doors locked and drapes closed that day.
The real block party happens every day while theyāre on their annual trip to Floridaā¦.No special plates, napkins, food, or invitations necessaryā¦.
The air seems lighterā¦ somehow easier to breathe. The sun seemsā¦ shinierā¦ even if itās rainingā¦.The flowers are brighter, and the birds sing prettier tunes.
Everybody comes outside, takes a deep breathā¦. and smiles at each otherā¦.
Every evening, a good time is had by all.
On the other handā¦.tourism in Florida is down that weekā¦thereās a cloud over Disney Worldā¦And the alligators are grumpy.
htownā¦. people are reporting various problems with the siteā¦apparently thereās an āupgradeā going on (which may or may not be for the better.)
It seems to affect different regions at different timesā¦ but it does (so far) resolve itself eventually.
I cannot concieve of any person who would willingly go up to the Pennys and introduce themselves. There might even be a separate page in the closing documents warning folks about them, sort of a neighborhood disclosure. And I certainly cannot concieve of the Pennys getting out of themselves enough to introduce themselves to anyoneātheyāre so entitled, you know.
You have to admit that hanging with the Pennys can be good for some laughs. .Plus, they are THE poster kids for the axiom: āNo one is completely useless; they can always be used as a ābad exampleā.ā
I just loaded emails received since I last checked and GC left a message:āThanks for your note. Are you still experiencing this issue? Are you visiting GoComics.com from a PC, a Mac, a tablet, or a mobile device? What browser are you using? Where are you located?There was a brief issue with the site last week that disrupted the normal formatting for a short time. Please clear your cache, exit your browser, and then attempt to visit the site again. You may need to consult your web-browserās help file for instructions on doing this. There is also a helpful website at http://www.wikihow.com/Clear-Your-Browser%27s-Cache on doing this. This will likely correct this problem. I will mark this ticket as solved for the moment, but simply reply if you are still having trouble.Please let us know if you have any additional questions.āBold is MINE; they claim no update, just an āissueā ā so your guess is good as mine.
And whern the party happens, the Pennyās wll sit like two lumps in front of their own house and wait for people to come to them. Which (I hope) wonāt happen. They will also eat their own food and not share. (not that anyone wants any)
The premise is that every year Ma pays for a trip to Florida, for herself, Joy and Burl, and sometimes Verl comes alongā¦. and sometimes Jerry too.
It allows Ma and Burl some zingers, as she often threatens not to take them this year.
Sometimes we see them drive thereā¦. sometimes they just appear in a motel.
Donāt expect to see it at the same time every year, or even for the days to be continuous, cos this is a āgag-a-dayā comic, which is only occasionally related to the previous or upcoming strip.
Well, I havenāt had any problems, so I can only guess my region is next.
IN THE MEANTIME I must mention, back in the day, when we first moved into our home, in 1978, a lot of our neighbors were in their 60ās to early 80ās. We were in our mid 20ās. Our neighbors WERE LOVELY SENIOR CITIZENS and we would have A COUPLE OF SUMMER BLOCK PARTIES EVERY YEAR, AND A CHRISTMAS TIME PARTY AS WELL rotating houses each year. GOD I MISS THOSE DAYS AND THOSE WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL PEOPLE!

Who put them in charge? Whoever it was should be pecked to death by ducks.
