   Don Williams sings “Lord, I Hope This Day is Good”.

   As the ‘Church Lady’ would have said… isn’t that CONVENIENT … heh.

   But while Lynde took the strip back into 1869, maybe he doesn’t intend to go all ‘Gunsmoke’ on us, and turn this into an “adult” western series. This is still the funny pages, so fair go.

   Of course (and we’ll eventually see this in the Sundays), the strip goes on to be known as “Rick O’Shay and Hipshot”, so there’s also a need to ‘redeem’ the anti-hero to the audience.

   Chalk it up as a red herring plot, much as Dick Moores and Jim Scancarelli would do from time to time with teasing potential Uncle Walt death scenarios.

   No, I wear the crown, and an ever-more embarrassing combover : )

   Made it up? No.

   Look it up? I’m totally “that guy”, lol.

   Scratch getting the crew all excited to see nekkid wimmen before sending them into some disaster… that checks.

   Not a fan… and not just because even auto-tune can’t make my singing sound good!

   Good morning, crew – and keep your distance when I hit the showers!

   (That’s fair warning.)

   From the soundtrack of “Slap Shot”, too.

   er… “current” being a relative term in this case.

   Did Arty make it back from Mars to write dialogue for the Three Wisenheimers from Help Our Appalachians?

   Continuing to produce annoying characters to torment the regular cast with… is more annoying than funny.

   It’s a full classics update for the 21st:

   That cruise must be coming up any day now, Walt is closing out all his domestic business for the duration.

   Hipshot’s unerring aim errs, but only just a bit. And man, does that turn out to be a lucky break, as dead men tell no tales. This one lives to fill in some rather important details.

   It’s too bad Brenda didn’t hire Everett True to the cast of her strip, they seem to have a pretty large budget.. Lance and Gracie are still employed, and that’s not doing any favors for our Starr’s reputation.

   What does Julius Erving have to do with the Alley’s current basketball storyline? Probably nothing, unless Eve wants to really impress Terry Best, and she breaks out her patented windmill jam, posterizing dunk.

    The last ‘bottle’ of shampoo I bought, was at least a decade ago. And it’s still at least 2/3rds full. A “lifetime supply”, I think : )
