Unlike politics where I am likely to choose Democrats 80-85 percent of the time, for sports it’s football 100 percent but if I have the option it would really be neither.
Bowling is just a step up from golf in the comic strip world. It’s boring to talk about, it’s boring to watch and it’s clearly boring to draw. I would enjoy a John Goodman-voiced Veeblefester saying “Shut the fuck up, Brutus!” though.
Growing up, my Grandpa was an odd sort. I distinctly remember, when he got up from his place at the dining room table to go take a nap, as he went down the hallway he muttered “I don’t smell.” I was apparently the only one who heard him say it and I couldn’t figure out what he was referring to. No one said he smelled, as far as I knew, he just said it.
He also muttered “fruit man” a couple of times. Anyway, what I am getting at is that my Grandpa’s spirit lives on in Brutus.
