The Era -- Day By Day

[Fading Fast]

Aw, this isn't one of those dumb radio shows, is it? Is this "People Are Funny?" Where's Art Linkletter??

I really don't get the point of this strip. Half the time I don't even know what is going on and even when I do, I don't know why I should care about Ella Cinders. Having her married takes a lot of the spice out of the story.

You, in that dopey string tie? You think you have a chance?

Good for her; I hate the "I love you" declaration when they hardly know each other. Movies do it all the time, too, and it's equally stupid there.

*********************************************************

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

"Hey, don't do that."

"Drop dead, you've been trying to kill me and I hate my nickname."

********************************************************

Coming events...

I'm sure at some point I knew otherwise, but I just assumed Rankin and the entire committee were Republicans.

There's a New World Coming...

The way this is going, Miami U needs to reach out to another team like itself, otherwise it's just teeing these dope-slappings of itself up.

The "Southern Democrats" such as Rep. Rankin are a world unto themselves. The world of "Red versus Blue" doesn't really exist in the 1940s, just a series of regional factions squabbling among themselves to form coalitions based on the exigencies of the moment. It's the same world where LaGuardia could run for mayor on both the Republican and ALP tickets.

Thank you. We might be returning to some iteration of that world with the "horseshoe" political theory.

Also, supposedly the "red versus blue" thing that assigned the Rs red and Ds blue was all innocent, but I still think, innocent or not (I'm clearly suspicious), it was the greatest move the democrats could have made to distance themselves from the commie-pinko label, but then DSA came along and they happily scream it from the rooftops, so whatever.

Having been punched in the gut by a starlight Springfield .30-06, I know the guy abed
ain't what's-name that Dude Hennick smoked, but cannot place 'em. Talks like an old salt,
so the yap's all I've got to go on. Lost sea is me.

Milt really should at least bring Pat Ryan back for this rodeo's roundup.

I agree...
I always have to mentally "flip" the colors to make the elections make sense.
