    Hopefully, June 2021 is more like June 2019 than June 2020.

    When an airplane I’m on is landing, I try to see people out the window, but usually I don’t.

    For me, the years have been very similar — except now I get to wear a mask in public and nobody can tell me not to! It’s awesome. The bank tellers look so nervous….

    Wow, Pastis really let his “lettuce” get loose. Nowadays a lot of us are looking like extras from “Breaking Bad” or we just jumped out of a time machine from Woodstock….. My response to my college aged daughter when she mentions how long her Pop’s hair has gotten: “I’m simply happy I still got hair as a lot of my friends said bon voyage to it already and the haircut can wait a while until things settle down…..”

    No, no more cocktails. Hopefully June 2020 will be “Take off the masks and Get Real”.

    Having watched “Downton Abbey,” I consider myself an expert on the Spanish Flu pandemic and I can tell you that Trump has done a MUCH better job of handling this pandemic, totally justifying the 12 times the busloads of us from the institute voted for him.

    As an introvert, this hasn’t been much different than a regular day. Except for the masks.

    Your songs can really comfort thee unlucky.

    Sing me a song. Sing it sad and low.

    I wish i didn’t have to feel so yukky.

    I wish i didn’t have to feel… so yukky!

    Happy Birthday Barry

    I have ventured out to have my hair done, but my husband has not had a haircut since February. He is looking strikingly like Pastis. Only blonde. And bald on top.

    Well, maybe 5’ is OK if you are downwind. Or unless you’re a deer which can smell our stench from 100 yards or further if you walk through the woods like a steamroller.

    Trump has a plan to make sure June 2020 looks like June 2019. This is what Trump has to say.

    “Our testing is so much bigger and more advanced than any other country (we have done a great job on this!) that it shows more cases. Without testing, or weak testing, we would be showing almost no cases. Testing is a double edged sword – Makes us look bad, but good to have!!!”

    “If we stop testing right now, we’d have very few cases, if any,”

    That’s like saying if we stop giving mammograms we won’t have breast cancer, or if doctors stop giving DRE’s we won’t have prostrate cancer. And as far as the testing rate in the USA is concerned.

    Pardon my pessimism, but I’m afraid those halcyon days of 2019 are gone … never to return.

    The world is teetering on the brink of international wars, civil wars, and another round of this pandemic while egomaniacs like BoJo the Clown, and the Orange Maroon play ostrich and pretend nothing bad is happening in their circuses.

    Well, at least he’s wearing a shirt in the last panel. Honestly, 2020 isn’t much different than 2019 for me. That’s the benefits of being a friendless loser. I mean, Asocial. I definitely meant Asocial.

    That guy has his mask on while walking outside? Does he bike with one on, too? Howabout driving in a car by himself? Some people are idiotically over cautious.

    in 2021 there will be armed guards out front, not to keep the looters out – but to keep you in. And if you sneak out the back a neighbor or your kid will turn you in – shades of Nazi Germany. Of course this will only happen if sleepy Joe is elected. Had to get political.
