In sixth grade, the LIFE Magazine story of the bad-tripping hippie who was afraid he’d turn to orange juice if anybody touched him prompted me to write a limerick (“There was a poor man on the loose / Who thought he would turn into juice / So I said ’Don’t be dumb’ / And I touched the poor bum. / Nevermore will I drink orange juice!”) and illustrate it with empty clothes in a pool of orange juice. I used the ‘crayon resist’ technique, which I’d seen in some book, so the clothes were crayon and the pool was water colors.

I can sympathize with Sluggo. High today in my neck of the woods, 88°. Fry coronaviruses, fry you all to heck!

Like all humans, Sluggo’s body was 70% water. That is, until he regrettably took that last sip from the garden hose.

How appropriate. 103 for the forecast high here in the California Mojave Desert today!

You’d think Sluggo would have skipped the sweater before he resorted to the hose.

Sometimes it seems lie it could.
