Scary Gary by Mark Buford for October 27, 2024

Leopold’s parents are adorable… in a June and Ward Cleaver sort of way.

Mama sang bass, Daddy sang tenor…♪♫

Leopold is in a good mood tonight!!!

Leopold is SO cool! Ha! If only he could dance like The Temptations!

…and when he died, all he left us was alone.

I wonder if Leopold was an adorable little demon when he was hatched.

This is the second cartoon today based on song lyrics I had to Google. But I still don’t regret deciding in 1964 not to listen to pop music.

I was raised by a toothless bearded hag.

Your mama don’t dance and your daddy don’t rock ’n roll.

come on and squeeze me like you do

He couldn’t resist the temptation to tell them who they were.

“Where did your family live, Leo?”

♪♫ “There is a house in New Orleans…” ♪♫

“and when he died, all he left them was alone.”

Great, now that song will be in my head all day.

Leopold knows his music from the 20th century though!

Ear worm planted. Thanks Mark!

Of course, things got a bit awkward when the back door man came around while Dad was out strokin’.

Who did he say his parents were again?

Many Leave it to Beaver kids eventually turned into Adams Family adults or hellians.

So…Leopold, is your dental work still picking up that oldies station?

…all he left us was alone…

and when he died all he left us was alone
