The Doozies by Tom Gammill for October 02, 2016

Will Dean do the football next week ?

That looked lik a nice dream, well, except for the flour part. That is flour, isn’t it?

Funny.

My father told this story… He was flying P-39’s from Guadalcanal when his unit commander got the bright idea of practicing bombing by having the pilots roll down their window (P-39 had doors like a car) and throw a paper sack of flour at targets painted on top base buildings. Each pilot had their own color.

Dad chucked one at the target on top the infirmary. It sailed through the door just as someone opened it coming out.

End of bombing practice.

“Couldn´t hit Godzilla in a fat suit”, love that comment.

Oh. That must be where they keep that Lucy skeleton,

I had an invite to their opening because they were using some of my PM scans to illustrate the Disney studio strike, but I couldn’t travel a couple of thousand miles to get to it. Some day, I expect I’ll pay to get in. Maybe the stuff will still be up.

Charlie Brown is a month older than I am.

But if they built an onager….

Such beautiful artwork, encapsulating the poignant wonder of childhood so sweetly. R.I.P. Richard Thompson.

How good is that trebuchet? Maybe they should enter it into the “Punkin’ Chunkin” contest this year.

How dare Alice decry the marksmanship of Dill’s brothers’ trebuchets! What does she know about medieval weaponry loaded with sacks of flour?!—Just kidding. Nice dream, Dill; too bad it got shot down….

Maybe E.T. was nearby!
