Skyler! Jazz up that answer.

You got me singin’ the blues ’cause the thrill is gone.

You could be Riding with the King with a correct answer Skyler.

Sad. He should have known the better answer.

“I was going to fill in the extra credit question, but the thrill is gone.”

And Freddy Mercury invented the thermometer…

And Lucille was a red-headed comedienne.

BB was a gun guitarist.

“You’ll shoot your eye out, kid.” “Santa” to Ralphie, A Christmas Story. MGM and Christmas Tree Productions (1983).

Next question: Who was CC “Red” Ryder?

Was his air gun named Lucille?

When I was a kid, every boy’s dream was getting a Red Rider B.B. Gun for Christmas.

Extra credit for those who remember the name of Red Rider’s sidekick and what was the name of the actor who portrayed him?

No Googling the answer!!

Too soon, Gary. Too soon.

No wonder his teacher has the blues.

I love my BB guns.

Riley “Blues Boy” King truly was the King of the Blues. RIP

All mine only had spring accelerators, but later I was promoted to air-guns. And later to the real thing. However Lewis & Clark had a very nasty air-gun, and when I read their journal about it, I visualize a bagpipe sized compression tank.

skyler brings new meaning to “half cocked”…

I used to like his TV show — the one about the cowboy with the airplane..

I’m pretty sure everyone reading this comic is old enough to know who BB King was.

This is how the shape of our country thanks to the NRA. Yes, I understand that there will be comments about what people will say about the 2nd. Amendment. I’m also familiar with the 1st. Amendment which allows me the freedom of speech!

Good grief
