Close to Home by John McPherson for January 05, 2023

Leave them alone, they might come home, in a grocery delivery!

There goes Bleeb again lookin’ up ladies dresses.

Man I love a good warped and twisted sense of humor.

Won’t be long before the Karens and the “perpetually looking to be offended” crowd will take that away from us too.

Now all she needs is some mint jelly.

1923 ?

She needs to call Shari Lewis.

Little Bo-peep, she lost her sheep, and couldn’t tell where to find them.

Um, I’m guessing Arby’s. They always say: we have the meats.

(Green Plaid Alert! Everybody do a shot!)

The next customer is Mary; Mary had a little lamb.

This is right up there with that Far Side cartoon about Mary having a little lamb.

Hi, Bleeb!

That’s not hers. That belongs to Shari Lewis.

I often wondered what happened to Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop…not to mention the rest of the menagerie.

Ms. Peep has found a very low-priced butcher’s shop. Prices are MUCH higher in my area!

Wow. That’s cold dude. …on the bright side, she can move on now.

Bo Peep lost a whole herd….the Butcher got richer

Wish I could find lamb chops for $5.99

And they were very tasty.

Three comments about Shari Lewis – or does this one make 4?

Bleeb! Buddy! You are in Position A. Bravo, Sir. Bravo.

$5.99 for lamb chops? This strip must be very old.

Mary had a little lamb…

This must have been years ago. Look at the prices!

Mary had a little lamb / With fleece as white as snow

And everywhere that Mary went / the lamb was sure to go

It followed her to the grocery store / But the prices didn’t please her

So Mary had a little lamb

And the rest is in the freezer.

Suddenly faced with the grime reality of what normally happens to sheep.

It’s like finding Nemo in the sushi.

They were quite committed to fighting hunger though….

I counted 9 comments about Shari Lewis, but 11 about Bleeb.

That’s one baaaaad cartoon.

And Bleeb finds another up-skirt!

never make friends with your livestock..name your steer ‘steak’ mane your lamb ‘gyro’ name your pigd ‘porkchop’

I thought that was Mary, who had a little lamb.
