Shoe by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly for November 12, 2009

Now Shoe is moonlighting on “Mother Goose and Grimm” today. Maybe Gocomics will get the drift and put Grimmy on here.

There should be a button on the TV that makes the remote beep so you ca find it.

My phone has one of those and I still can’t find it!

If we could get the remote to work on our women. Shades of Benny Hill.

The bird should check inside his head. His brain seems to be pretty remote.

RICHARD, cook, clean, #&%@!$, mute & off would be on that remote

I would say the chance of the officer finding it are pretty remote - especially if they’re in the Houston area.

Another one who got a better offer from MG&G!

I’m still looking for the remote, that mutes Boom Thump mobile mega decible noise terrorism, it’s worth more than the national debt.

@ FishStix: naturally the bird doesn’t understand the concept. he’s a loon.

I remember an old strip where Loon flies off to deliver his papers and accidentally tips his delivery bag, dumping all contents. In the last panel Shoe and Perfessor flee the falling ordnance: “Oh no, he’s MIRVed his route!”

I can remember telling my young son about the days when we had to get up to change the channel or volume - he thought that was the funniest thing he’d ever heard. His world has always been a digital world - he has always had remotes and computers and Nintendos and CGI movies. He’s heard of the “Olden Days”, of course, but they’re as real to him as the Dark Ages are to us.

It isn’t called a guaranteed-to-find-it warrant, just a search warrant. Don’t get your hopes up.
