Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for December 17, 2020

Looks, sounds like, and acts like most male hominids in my neck of the woods. Except for hanging up in monster pick up trucks instead of trees, and being distracted by beer instead of squirrels.

Alley Oop reboot looking good.

Canine teeth, small cranial capacity, obsession with grape Nehi …. sounds like a Trump voter, especially if you add an assault rifle.

Here’s a closet? Sounds normal.

I seem to recall being australopithecine for about four years starting around age 12. Unfortunately, without Charlie’s success.

Love the “Dynomite” T-shirt.

I think trust should be higher on her list than understanding. The even larger issue is that her list of concerns is bound to be quite, quite long, regardless of ranking those concerns in order of importance.

What’s grape soda have to do with anything? I like grape soda.

Well, I can’t find any other place to do this… so I’ll do it here.

Ode to Melania (thanks, John Lennon and Paul McCartney!)

She’s got a good reason / For taking the easy way out / Got a good reason / For taking the easy way out now

She was an ex-stripper / Golden ticket, yeah / Don’t take Trump long to find out / And he found out

She’s got big pleasers / She knew she had golden box there. / She married a geezer! he took what the market would bear. / Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Couldn’t please her / Trump was a tool in her hands. / Poor old wheezer / Stormy knows just how “it” stands!

She was an ex stripper / Lil muff-diver, yeah / Proved when the photos came out! / And we found out

Ex-stripper! Ex-stripper yeah! / Ex Stripper! Ex Stripper, yeah! / Ex Stripper! Ex Stripper!

I think the publishing industry missed a bet the first time around (2010), but the nice thing is that the concept didn’t get any worse with age!

Transcending species and cultural boundaries true love has its way.

I remember in high school the girls were attracted to Neanderthal types.

We’ve come a long way.

Still an better love story than Twilight.
