Delete1. It took me a second to think about it, and yes, it is funny.
ReplyDelete2. I don't know if you will know him, but Ross Noble.
3. Definitely Donald Duck, and Spiderman in his tight outfit had an appeal.
4. What local newspaper.
5. I had a good laugh at someone's blog post yesterday. But I can't remember who it was.
And Donald Duck never wore pants.
Delete1. It's ok. It wasn't my "So Many Gerbils; So Little Time" t-shirt.
ReplyDelete2. Of all time???? I don't know. I really don't.
3. Far Side or Calvin & Hobbes. Bill Watterson who drew the latter lives next door to my friend Bob - which is only a mile from us. My cousin bought Watterson's last home.
4. I'm told they do. I haven't picked up the paper since May 2024. Too angsty for me.
5. Yikes. I don't know. I'm guessing something my friend Morty said.
If you can't remember the last time you laughed, it has been too long.
Delete1: I have a t-shirt that says, "I'd agree with you, but then we would both be wrong." Is it funny? - No it is not.
ReplyDelete2: Who was your favorite comedian of all time and why? Billy Connelly because he could breathe humour into any story and his swearing was judicious and he came from a working class family on Clydeside.
3: I was really disappointed as a child, to learn that most "comic books" where not funny. What is or was your favorite comic or cartoon strip and why? I loved most strips in the British comics - "The Dandy" and "The Beano" but especially "The Bash Street Kids". I cannot say why.
4: Does your local newspaper still print cartoons or comics? No. It never did.
5: When was the last time you really laughed? Yesterday afternoon on the lawn of the old vicarage in Amcotts, North Lincolnshire - playing with small kids.
My father had an English sense of sarcasm.
Delete1: I have a t-shirt that says, "I'd agree with you, but then we would both be wrong." Is it funny? It's funny, cuz it's true.
ReplyDelete2: Who was your favorite comedian of all time and why? I can think of many but I'll settle on two ... Joan Rivers for her bady no holds barred brash style, and Steven Wright for his thoughtful, pensive, quiet humor.
3: I was really disappointed as a child, to learn that most "comic books" where not funny. What is or was your favorite comic or cartoon strip and why? I don't think I ever had any comic books; they weren't my thing.
4: Does your local newspaper still print cartoons or comics? Not any longer.
5: When was the last time you really laughed? I laugh all the time; it was probably during a conversation with Carlos. I laughed this morning as I heard a herd of cats circling him in the kitchen demanding to be fed, and the herd was only two cats!
I have this vision of the cats, trampling around his ankles like Indians on horseback circling the covered wagons.
DeleteAnd there's only two, but they make it sould, and seem, like a herd!
Delete1: I have a t-shirt that says, "I'd agree with you, but then we would both be wrong." Is it funny? Yes, I think it is funny.
ReplyDelete2: Who was your favorite comedian of all time and why? Not sure I have one of all time but right now it's Stephen Colbert
3: I was really disappointed as a child, to learn that most "comic books" where not funny. What is or was your favorite comic or cartoon strip and why? As a kid, I looked forward to Alley Oop and Snoopy and I'm not sure why.
4: Does your local newspaper still print cartoons or comics? I don't think so but I don't ever see a print copy.
5: When was the last time you really laughed? Just last night at dinner with friends.
Laughing with friends is special.
Delete1. Yes, that t-shirt is funny! I'd wear it!
ReplyDelete2. Favourite comedian of all time? So, SO many to choose from. I'd have to say the Monty Python gang and George Carlin. And in today's world, Stephen Colbert.
3. Favourite comic or cartoon strip? Again, so, SO many have been faves of mine over the years.In today's world, I think the best internet memes have democratized such humour.
4. Still cartoons/comics in my local newspaper? I have no idea. I haven't bought a print newspaper in 15 years.
5. The last time I really laughed? This morning, doing my blog rounds. Humour is the best medicine and antidote in today's world and I hunt a good humour fix like an addict.
I try to find something to laugh about everyday.
Delete1: I have a t-shirt that says, "I'd agree with you, but then we would both be wrong." Is it funny? Yes! It requires some thought and it is funny.
ReplyDelete2: Who was your favorite comedian of all time and why? I like Bob Hope, too. His timing, the one-liners, and he entertained our military troops around the world for 50 years.
3: I was really disappointed as a child, to learn that most "comic books" where not funny. What is or was your favorite comic or cartoon strip and why? So many good ones...Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes, Family Circus.
4: Does your local newspaper still print cartoons or comics? No comics.
5: When was the last time you really laughed? Last night at my 50th reunion, reminiscing with my former neighbors about 4th of July 1976, the Bicentennial, and Bob's brilliant idea to have a bunch of friends come over and drink 200 beers. Ahhh, the young and stupid days that give good stories to tell 50 years later!
Oh, and he brought pictures!
DeleteJust imagine next year's bash.
Delete1. It's meh.
ReplyDelete2. Robin Williams
3. Peanuts
4. I don't know.

Robin Williams was brilliant.

ReplyDelete2: Who was your favorite comedian of all time and why? Rodney Dangerfield!!! He could stand there and just make me laugh. And I love the one line zingers.
3: I was really disappointed as a child, to learn that most "comic books" were not funny. What is or was your favorite comic or cartoon strip and why? Not when too young, but I always loved the Lockhorns! The sarcasm again you see.
4: Does your local newspaper still print cartoons or comics? Im not even sure the local paper is printed anymore daily, but in the Sunday edition ...yes.
5: When was the last time you really laughed? Last week. I thought Id might spray my coffee.
We should find more ways to laugh. The Lockhorns were wonderful.
Delete1. Yes, it is ironically funny.
ReplyDelete2. Oh, so many. But some of my all-time favorites were Mort Sahl, Bob Newhart, George Carlin, and all of the Monty Python group.
3. Probably The Far Side. Because it's weird.
4. Yes, political cartoons.
5. Maybe this morning. (BTW, thanks for the adoration of my modest efforts.)
The far side is on my daily blog list.
Delete1: yes is it funny as how queer/curious not ho ho ho.
ReplyDelete2: Groucho Marx. He was the best. Do not dare to question this.
3: Thank you for the blog post inspiration!
4: Alas I have not read the local paper in years.
5: It has been so long I don't remember.
Time to laugh .
