REMEMBER, ALL OF YOU

THE HAM OF ’92

Dan is especially judicious in the first panel.

I like how Dan is always insufferably subtle but still loving to Amanda (panel 2).

Part of the joy of this strip, is always eagerly watching what Dan is doing with his hands… reading, stirring, writing, rosary-making, mug-holding. At least Dan doesn’t use his gavel at home. (How often do judges actually use one?)

Is Dan planning to grow back his beard? (I actually like Dan’s “circle” for the strip so we can see more of his face!)

I had to look up the name for this style.

I wish I could forget the FRUITCAKE of ’84 . . .

There’s always Heavenly Hash to top it all off! Yummy!

ham it up!

You’re hilarious, Dan! HA!! Also, insightful.

The CARLSONS’ “FUNERAL CHICKEN” OF ‘94!

(Really. I was actually telling someone about it the other day.)

“Sometimes out of tragedy, people can really pull out a win.”

Yeah, Dan — like the Red Sox in the 2004 A.L.C.S.! (What a glorious comeback THAT was!)

Times change. Went to Texas for Mom’s funeral. Although I cooked chop suey for everyone, they preferred to wait an hour and a half for a family size frozen lasagna to cook. Texans don’t appear to eat much in the way of vegetables. :)

Ah, yes… the ham of ’92! Good times…

Let us all remember the the Great Ham of ‘92. — Why do we remember every funeral we’ve been to by the food?! Is that a thing for everyone?
