Mmm. Lots of guys have ties that are at least 40, that they never bothered to get rid ofâŠ..âmy lucky tieâ, e.g. Now, if one is often seen WEARING the ties to his job, thenâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠ

I like the reruns!! Could be that they still strike me as âbeing funnyâ. I grew up under constant exposure to reruns on TVâŠâŠthis sort of programming (cue in âoh, here comes Darth Vader right nowâŠSHUDDER!!â music here) was considered âpart of the planâ while the media folks got R &R, negotiated with sponsors, planned new episodes of a series that looked like it could flourish for another season, negotiated with the often ever-swelling heads of âthe playersâ (oh, itâs TO LAUGH!!) and monitored the rises and fall of their competition on other networksâŠâŠ.and stuff-like-that-there, as âol Huck Hound used to say!Nice that so much of the stuff remained funny even after ummm, eleventy-seven or so viewingsâŠ.often over the course of many years! Haw! Snicker! Laugh! Chortle! Glee, mirth aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand MERRIMMENT!!!!!

Poor Chad. Heâs just too clueless.

Mr. Lincoln Peirce, if Nateâs personality is kind of autobiographical, then how did you come up with the idea of Teddy and Francis?

Chad,Chad,Chad. Hes probably a million years old. Then again, he was born during the hochline epoch, whatever THAT means. Thatâs next strip. Calling it.

Why do some complain about comic reruns? Everyone needs a break now and then.
bignate creator almost 12 years ago
Yes, this week will feature reruns of earlier strips. But it has nothing to do with me not feeling 100%. I get two weeks of vacation each year. I used the first one back in January, when I was doing the strips for April â thatâs why this is a rerun week. I will probably take the other week in July, which means that there will be a week of reruns in October.

I get it but remember everyone needs vacation. Weâll survive the week Iâm sure. :)

Back in the late â50s, Dallas had a school superintendent who was Jim Crowâs best friend â all deliberate and no speed. Someone suggested he should be well past retirement age and that might bring the system into the 20th century. A friend said, âThat wonât work; back when he was born, they didnât have birth certificates, but just wrote the details in the family Bible â and Sherman burned it.â

Youâll have to settle for happy birthday wishes from your friends and family, Iâm afraid. I never respond to appeals like this to include personal greetings in strips, because there are too many of them.
