Stickman Not Looking Good

The stickman depends on a higher power.

 

Old Superstition Comes True

 Not sure how many will remember, or even know, what this is about. As kids, we would walk on a sidewalk and say, "Step on a crack, break your mothers back."

Apparently, this superstition dates back to 1905. I had no idea. 

By the way, that was before my time. 😅

Fritzi Ritz

 

A look back to the old days of comics. You might recognize Fritzi Ritz as Nancy's aunt. She started as her own comic in 1922 and was known as what was called a flapper in the beginning. 

She was beautiful, wore short skirts and was a little prone to ignoring rules. She met Sluggo and hated him at first, but they later became good friends. I always thought they were dating but I'm not sure. I mean he was definitely not in her league (uh oh, am I in trouble?) C'mon, don't tell me you're not thinking the same thing.

She became a secondary character soon after her niece, Nancy, was introduced in 1933. Nancy was introduced to the comic and was just supposed to be there a short time, but her character caught on. Nancy would definitely be considered a brat, but she was funny, and I can remember reading and enjoying her comics.

Stickman Fire Dilemma

The stickman is facing quite a dilemma. It doesn't seem to be bothering the kids, though.  

The question is will he or won't he succumb to the temptation of a roasted hotdog? 

 

Stickman Falls Out of a Tree

 I don't know why but I would have thought a stickman would have no problem climbing a tree.

Then again, he is made of sticks which, at one time or another, fell from a tree.

Dinosaurs Discussing Earth's Wipe Out Theories

 Two dinosaurs were enjoying their coffee and discussing the recent news headlines.

"What do you think about the report that a meteor is about to destroy life on earth?"

"Well, another reporter said an ice age would wipe us out, so I tend to think they are just trying to get more of us to read their articles. Trust me, nothing is gonna happen."

Fred Flintstone Enjoys His Coffee

There's a lot of controversy as to when coffee was first discovered. According to historians, coffee was first invented in modern-day Yemen in the middle of the 15th century. 

This picture of Fred seems to contradict that fact. Now I understand the first photograph wasn't taken until 1826, but maybe this is a drawing found on a cave wall? 😜

Are you enjoying your coffee break?
