Transcript:
richard's poor almanac - by richard thompson the coming year in comic strips cathy will be jilted at the altar & turn into miss havisham, the demented jilted bride from "great expectations." the strip immediately improves. howard huger will soar in popularity thanks to martin scorsese's "the aviator," a film about the real, histor-ical howard huge.r have you seen me? "puddikins" mutts will slowly cease to exist as a comic strip & become merely a string of "lost cat" notices. oop: hi, mark! mark: not so loud. mark trail will clean out 58-year-old wads of earwax. this'll restore his hearing, making all those exclamation marks unnecessary. non sequitur will give up on text entirely & feature only drawings of people with bubbles rising from their heads to indicate ironic dismay. lady: hello, dear. opus: nice hat. opus will continue to resurrect beloved old 1980's characters. unfortunately, many of them will be from doonesbury.

I wonder if comic beefs are anything like rap beefs. Will Richard Thompson next accuse Gary Trudeau of having too many wild parties?

Howard Huge was instrumental in igniting my love of bigger dogs. We have had Labradors, German Shepherds and Newfie Labs over the course of the last 30 years or so. We were given a pair of German Shepherds when our daughters were born. They say that GSDs are a great family dog and will protect the pack. But they are also a one person dog. And those puppies bonded with the girls forever. Many times we would go for walks and they would not want to go out unless one of the girls went with us.
