The Big Picture by Lennie Peterson for January 14, 2023

‘The Big Picture’, is catch phrase enough.

“You’re stoopid” really should have caught on

How about T-shirts with Lennie and Ginger? Lennie would be wearing a T-shirt that says “Cartoon Boy” and Ginger’s thought-balloon says something like, “So Stoopid”.

Deep thoughts from my spit valve? (With an eye on that obnoxious guy at the front table.)

It’s what moms are for…good, sound advice.

“Feed me, Cartoon Boy!”

“Yes, it’s E-Mail Monday!”

“Who’s Jim Davis?”

“Gingerrrr!”

“I’ll be back!” (No, that’s too scary! ☺)

Wow Mom shows uncharacteristic snark. Like mother, like son I guess

Is that a kitten in the cloud in the last panel?

I suppose “A Boy and His Cat” wouldn’t have the effect you’re looking for. But by the way, do you—I mean did you—actually take Ginger to the beach with you?? And/or Homeslice? I can’t imagine. . . .

Can always count on Mom!

Old expressions he can use:

“Well, here’s another nice mess you got me into”. (Laurel and Hardy)

“How SWEET it is !” (Jackie Gleason)

“The devil made me do it” (Flip Wilson)

“God’ll getcha for that one”. (Bea Arthur as Maude)

“To the MOON, Alice” (Jackie Gleason as Ralph Cramden)

“Wunna dose days—WUNNA DESE DAYS—POW !! RIGHT INNA KISSER !! (Jackie Gleason as Ralph Cramden)
