After Dinner (Argue)Mint

 

Flapper Fanny, September 15, 1935
I've talked about how I'm a fan of Gladys Parker and her comic strip Mopsy. But she also did Flapper Fanny for a short period. This is a good Flapper Fanny comic. Her annoyance in the second panel is great as are the Xs in her eyes when Fanny realizes she's going to prison for at least six months 30 days.

September 4, 1988

We just saw a guy nearly get killed trying to cross a busy street. I don't understand why people just can't wait for the light to change. Some people can't even seem to be bothered to walk the 50 to 100 steps to the corner with the light. No, cross in the middle of the street and do it diagonally and force 2 to 20 2-ton vehicles to cater to your needs.

It'd be nice if we could see the sign and see how many miles that officer is forcing Brutus to walk.

"Hey, everybody! Look at this! It's that man who crosses the street
without the right of way! Wave to the people! Blow them kisses!" 


"Here we are, by ourselves." Yeah, I been meaning to talk to you about that...

What are Brutus and Gladys doing after dinner? I'm not saying my wife and I are paragons of marital bliss, but we are in the same room together and we're on our laptops and watching TV. We are constantly talking to each other. Whether or not the other person wants to hear it!
