The Return of Stickman #1019

A special warm thanks to my friend Lisa Shaftel at Shaftel s2do for sending in this guest strip. Yes, I know a lot of you have been sending in your contributions. They are in "vacation" queue and will be posted every time my schedule heats up. Many thanks. Keep them coming.

Last I heard the two construction guys got fired from their job and were being charged with animal cruelty. I'm not sure if they've been charged with anything related to the endangered species act. But, those particular chipmunks were endangered, particularly from bozos with nail guns.

And here is the follow-up from yesterday.

I really do wonder what that Mountain Lion thought was so interesting in that guy's garage. Hmm. I think I have an inspiration for tomorrow's strip.

I came up with this saying back in college. I was sitting behind a cash register during the late shift at the university bookstore and it came to me like a light bulb over my head. I was so pleased with myself that I didn't realize the irony of the moment. I keep this little gag on the shelf and I take it down to dust it off every now and then.

This 'possible' version of events might be a little extreme. But, as a frequent business traveler, I can easily say that I would not want to be sitting next to, in front of, or behind, a little boy with a plastic sword. Of course, I'm also one of the crotchety people who don’t have kids and thinks that maybe children should be stored in barrels. And whether or not the bung in thrust into the hole is as well is a matter of debate. Maybe the youth in question is stellar in his behavior, but swords, especially pirate swords, are made for swashbuckling, and there really is no room on commercial airliners for swashbucklers. Niquil, yes, swords, no.
