Lucky Little Red Riding Hood

 Things could have gone very badly for Little Red Riding Hood. She was in a particularly nasty mood when she stumbled upon the big bad wolf. 

She said some things to the wolf no one should ever say to a wild animal.

It turned out to be her lucky day.

Pig-Pen vs Mr. Clean. Who Would Win?

  I saw this and there was no way I couldn't share it with you.

Everybody knows the Peanuts gang. 


Mr. Clean? Of course.

Scrubbing Bubble? Maybe not so much.

Pig-Pen would offer them one heck of a challenge. Who do you think would win?

I'm putting my money on Pig-Pen. This little guy is pretty feisty. And you just know Snoopy is close by just in case.

How The Three Blind Mice Went Blind

 It's not well known how the 3 blind mice went blind.

Seems one day Timmy, one of the mice, ran bursting into the hole in the wall and told the mice about the solar eclipse that was coming. He said you needed special glasses to watch it.

What is well known is that mice are not very good at making things.

Weird Solar Eclipse Crowd

 Everyone is talking about the solar eclipse. If you're in a crowd watching, you might want to look around and see what crazies crept into the crowd.

Be careful also. Remember the Three Blind Mice?

7-Up in the Comics

 I thought you might get a kick out of seeing a 7-Up ad from a 1958 Comic Book. The comic is Fritzi Ritz.

I'm sure this ad has appeared in other comics, but when I came across it, I decided to add it. 

This ad is sponsored by Disney and promotes "Zorro", a weekly TV series. 


Fun Fact: 7-Up has been a popular soft drink since the 1920's. The original name the company came up with was ‘Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Carbonated Soda’?” 


Just rolls off your tongue. I'm betting the soda clerk would shake his head and give him a Coke.

Why Bigfoot Has Not Been Seen

 Bigfoot explains, in his own words, why no one has yet found him. It's also a reason he is a big fan of cell phones.



Now to be fair, there are the Bigfoots hunters on TV. They are actively looking for him. They sweep an area with what? 

4 people?

Don't worry. Here's my spoof animation of a couple Bigfoot hunters who seem fairly clueless.

Wood Carved Pickle Resembles Bart Simpson

Grab a cup of coffee and come and listen bout a story of a man called Jeb . . . Whoops. Wrong story.

 Is it just me or does this pickle resemble Bart Simpson?

Funny story. I started out trying to carve a ghost. I cut in the arms and didn't like them so carved away. Turned it around and tried again. Same result. Carved those away.

Now the carving was getting too thin to be a ghost. So I dug in some eyes.

Disaster!! 

Carved them away. Added eyes and was going to carve a wide-open mouth with teeth when my first cuts made me realize a tongue was protruding. So I carved it, and it became a tongue.


I finished and wasn't sure what it was but noticed the carving resembled Bart Simpson somewhat. Finally, I decided it was a pickle. Probably what Bart would look like if he became a pickle. 

Oh and, if you never watched the Beverly Hillbillies, you don't have a clue about how I started this story. 😊
