You can say that again!

I bet his IQ is smaller than his hat size!

Awwww Slim. It’s not that bad……you’re just drawn that way ;-)

He needs to go to Joel & Rufus’ School of Self-Esteem.

Sounds like Slim wants to end it all. He’ll mess that up too by throwing himself behind the train.

Slim, you a cartoon character! You can do anythingyou want or at least anything you can talk Jim S into.

Once you admit you have a problem, then the healing process can begin.

Frank King I am sure would be pleased to know his comic strip creation still exists. However he would also be perplexed that the strip has been reduced to just “talking” heads. Each panel barely has room for text and art. Back in King’s day Slim would be seen “thinking” aloud in some space with an elaborate drawn background. To save paper and ink the publishers and editors determined comic strips would be the ones effected. Granted many modern gag strips have minimal art anyway so it doesn’t effect them. However older and classic strips especially adventure strips with continuity have suffered. I’ve come to rely on reprint books and old comic websites like ilovecomix.com

Ya think?

He’s not that bad!

How the @#%&! does a 64-year-old man not know the difference between a dishwasher and a clothes washer?!

I would like to see what Clovia is up to in Hawaii.

The Sundays, with the extra elbow room, are especially well-drawn!

How on earth does he earn a living as the mechanic at the GA garage?
