    When I was young and innocent, I thought clowns were funny, silly….But I can understand why they would creep somebody out. I dedicate this next line to those people…Here’s one! Zombie Clowns Bwahahahahaha….sorry no vampires or werewolves, need apply….Vampires suck, and werewolves are just irritating dogs…

    Clowns are definite proof that unintelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe.

    Don’t cry on the inside, Clarabelle….cry in your beer! (Do I hear country music on the jukebox?) Anyone want to guess why the curtains are so short?

    As a small child I saw a movie (drama) about a sad clown, and never appreciated clowns as being part of fun again. :(

    Clarabelle? Good grief, a refugee from the days before color TV. If the clown in the strip is Clarabelle, any further attempts to induce a a guilt trip will produce a steady stream from Clarabelle’s seltzer bottle.

    Am stumped as to the short curtains. You’re going to have me wondering about this for the rest of the day if you don’t give us your take on this matter. This is an urgent request.Please respond, soon .Have other things to think about.

    No. Next up is a spiel on job creation from the guy in the suit! That bit of dark humor is certain to cheer up the clown. Job creation via tax cuts for the 1% Now, there’s a real laugher. We’re still waiting breathlessly for the trickle from up above. Ronald Reagan (Sr.)-oh hear our plea-send us that trickle.Ronald Reagan (Jr.) is a lefty and a pretty great guy.Am constantly amazed Ron Sr. let him live.

    Love your sense of humor and username.Still thinking about the August 8th Off The Mark strip which is associated with your username. It was great fun.By the way, definitely love dogs, but cannot deny the truth about this trait possessed by all dogs.Read that it has to do with scent glands by the derriere.Also noted from my 365 Dogs calendar that dogs have 250 million olfactory scent receptors in their noses as opposed to 5 million in humans.Am astounded that dogs choose to punish themselves in this manner. Masochists?

    Enjoy your posts. Thanks for these 2. Sounds as though you had a few bad trips, but seriously, have heard of some positive ones with greatly expanded consciousness,and great spiritual illumination.Guess the Beatles did O.K.with it, as they wrote a song with LSD in the title.

    Wow. All kinds of trips (including drug-induced ones) down Memory Lane here this A.M.Thanks for this reminder of Bob Keeshan-he was great for the kids to grow up with.And , for sure, Clarabelle’s alter ego. Thanks.

    Encountering a real person will sometimes destroy our fantasies. Now take for instance those two wanna be sillies who are running for president and vice president……about as unreal as a billion dollars can buy.

    The really scary clowns are the ones who try to play it straight, and don’t wear face paint—but are still clowns.

    Am mad as hell at you for not answering the riddle of the curtains and had to be bailed out by pcolli and Dogsniff.This has resulted in my late viewing of other strips’ topics of conversation and getting entangled in various other comments sections.Aforementioned other weighty matters needing my consideration never got tended to and have you to blame for my typing fingers sprouting blisters and my keyboard’s life being greatly shortened with all the typing.Oh well, guess there’s always always tomorrow. All is forgiven.

    Am glad you haven’t sworn off fast food altogether.That would cripple the economic recovery and we’d have to give Ronald hell for wrecking the economy, resulting in a lot of kids crying into their Happy Meals and angry mothers giving us hell for giving Ronald hell all the while wrecking the kids’ cherished childhood images of Ronald. We don’t need that kind of guilt trip. Not to mention Wall Street would want our heads for this.Perhaps a boycott would be the best way around pandemonium at your local McDonald"s what with all the yelling and screaming at each other ,giving each other hell,crying kids, and other unimaginable mayhem too terrible to contemplateAm all for the more peaceful option of a boycott. Boycott it is.

    ….became maimed and didn’t do the dishes…The dishes aren’t a problem, as there’s only me here,can’t cook and eat out of cans, though being maimed would be living hell if my typing fingers were disabled and couldn’t make any posts, though suspect there are many who would find that a good thing after today’s rants.Hope you may edit the dream and leave out the maiming part and my having to shell out for doctors and Geek Squad service. Can’t afford this, as am living on canned Campbell’s pork and beans as it is..Editing would also serve to promote a good night’s sleep for you, except for dealing with the guilt trip laid on you over the curtains. You have ruined my day. Have to keep looking to tomorrow. You had the guilt trip coming for deserting me in my time of need.

    Must say that have enjoyed your posting exchanges with Sharuniboy of the last few days,and your respectful discussions with him after he revealed his age.Those exchanges have been lengthy , and with deep thoughts expressed. Respect this greatly.Actually engaged in a couple of serious discussions on other strips myself today,and it was great.We all need to express our true feelings with others if the time is right.My posts here are often silly and meant to be a playful exchange with someone, but respect seriousness here,too sometimes quite serious.Sometimes hard to distinguish the difference.Just last week, a woman that had joked with on another strip took offense with some playful banter thrown at her, and says she called GoComics management on me to report me as a troll, so am a bit edgy. So far, so good.Was joking on my part, but she took me seriously. Hate misunderstandings.Thanks for your good words to me. Peace.
