Solstice*1947 Free

Born on the shortest day of '47 in southern CA. At six I moved east to B’klyn. Grew up reading comics in NY papers (Journal American/World Journal Tribune; Daily News & Mirror on Sundays). In my 20's I created and drew a comic strip to submit to several syndicates. It was (perhaps wisely) rejected by all the reputable ones. Unique back then, now it would be described as similar to “Eek!” Worked as a High School teacher of Speech & Theater until "excessed" after a few years. Then joined a multinational accounting/consulting firm and eventually created their first in-house Graphics Department. After 32 years I was offered a retirement package I couldn't refuse. My wife retired at about the same time and we happily spent our free time with friends and family, going to a lot of plays and musicals, visiting museums, and traveling around the country and the world. And then came COVID-19. And I discovered GoComics (and a love of limericks).

    What do you expect? He has thirteen siblings.

  2. about 5 hours ago on That is Priceless

    /// After much too long, Danton got wet,

    though he wasn’t quite ready just yet.

    Babette gave him a push

    on his (not that fat) tush,

    and the splash hit her face like a jet.

  3. about 5 hours ago on That is Priceless

    /// Peering down at his face’s reflection,

    Dan was lost in a deep introspection.

    “If I don’t dive in soon,

    I’ll appear a buffoon.”

    Either way he feared Babette’s rejection.

  4. about 5 hours ago on That is Priceless

    /// To look good for the lady he’d tried;

    he maintained his slim limbs with some pride.

    Thinks his hips are too wide,

    (all his meals are deep-fried),

    and his butt bulges out side-to-side.

  5. about 6 hours ago on That is Priceless

    /// He had planned for some leisurely swimming,

    but he froze. With fear Danton is brimming.

    Will Babette be unkind,

    gazing at his behind?

    Horizontal stripes never look slimming.

  6. about 6 hours ago on That is Priceless

    /// Danton’s out for some fresh air and sun,

    and he hopes with Babette to have fun.

    Stood there bent— hadn’t jumped,

    while his heart wildly thumped.

    Just a Bather, or Diver, which one?

    /// Any woman who makes love to trees

    must contend with rain blown on the breeze.

    In the winter she freezes;

    spring brings pollen and sneezes;

    and in summer she fights swarms of bees.

  10. about 18 hours ago on That is Priceless

    /// All her lovers were hard, rough, and tall,

    and his wood was the hardest of all.

    Getting cut to the quick

    by a splintery stick

    didn’t faze her. The woman’s in thrall.

    /// When she fondles his acorns each nut

    gives her pleasures she feels in her gut.

    If she could, she would strut,

    but her limbs have been cut

    and she’s got a long stick up her butt.
