Bliss by Harry Bliss for February 22, 2025

The Story of O would be a better choice.

I read “the Gashley Crumb Teenies” when I was eight. Same year I read Davey and the Goblin. My teachers did not approve of me sharing either book.

Next up, Caligula.

THIS IS HIS BEDTIME STORY???

foreseen modern day dystopian U.S.A.

Don’t forget to tape his eyelids open.

Seventh grade and the Nuns took my copy of “Brave New World” away.

This might not be an appropriate book for a child this age.

Is there “milk-plus” in that cup?

Hang on to your bear, Timmy, and shut your eyes… nah, that won’t work…

My Dad also read me a book with fighting and prison scenes. The Wind in the Willows.

“What’s it going to be then, eh?” There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs…..

It’s the only book he could find that wasn’t banned.

Me and me droogies…

Not the best choice for a child his age.

My wife used to read Stephen King before going to bed. But not to our children.

Guess that’s a glass of milk on the bedside table.

I predict a lot of “family time” spent with the therapist in their future.

Horrorshow.

This is what nightmares are made of……..

I enjoy my daily visit to GoComics immensely, it’s my first stop, but I rarely laugh out loud. This panel made me snort laugh so loudly that my husband was frightened!

NO! NO! NO! NO!

He shouldn’t be reading this modernistic stuff. Stick to the classics. How about The Castle of Otranto?

time for some IN-OUT with Billy Bob and the boys

My daughter and I used to watch horror movies when she was pretty young. It was her choice. I asked her not too long ago if she still watches them, and she does. She had no problem with realizing the fakeness and found them funny. Me too.

There I was…. Alex and my three droogs.

Time to learn about what the other shop has to offer.

The kid will probably need to use the glossary.

Tomorrow is my buddy’s daughter’s first birthday so I got her a book, uh for a 1 year old, a bit young for A clockwork Orange I think. Maybe when she’s 14…

If you read any of the original versions of traditional children’s stories like Little red riding hood, Cinderella, etc . I think you will understand what he is getting at. Do you know what happens to the step sisters in original story?

The British edition had a final chapter with a “Happy Ending” that was omitted from the first American editions. This may illustrate Alex reading about his early adventures to his son.

this is just bezoomny… ☺

I read Clockwork Orange as a preteen from the library. I couldn’t afford movies back then and was the only way to ‘see’ the movie. A very engaging book.

I also read Dr Strangelove and Fail Safe for the same reasons.

Uh-h-mm…..

He’s probably too young to understand what’s going on.
