And the mourners stared at the coffin with horrid fascination…

Does Cosmo have to do all that work to get to his pizza?

Cute but I double dog dare anybody to do it.

My wife want “Grazing in the Grass” to be played at the cemetery.

oh i’m so stealing that idea…i’ll be having ‘staying alive’ playing too

So, is this a eulogy for an actual Bill Linden, or just a joke? There are quite a number of real Bill Linden’s but I didn’t find one that might be the one in today’s strip.

Nothing beats a good joke at a funeral.

“Pop Goes The Weasel” variations.

Keep watching…it gets even funnier!

I told my wife and children that when I die the only thing my obituary will say is “My First Name Died.”

Now there you go, giving me ideas!

Gary, You are very good at “tickling my fancy”. One of my favorites from your strip is the professor sitting at the counter and ordering French Toast. The drunk at the end of the counter immediately replies “Viva la France”. Simple, but great. I think of it every time I make or order “French Toast”. This is another one I will think of often.

I think of a Ray Steven’s song which is humorous, but also a reminder of days past. I recall listening to relatives and others tell of experiences. While I don’t accept superstition I am aware of pranksters and unexpected unusual events.
