Things that make me smile:

There are some things that make me smile without even thinking about it, and I seem to have no control over the corners of my mouth. Here are a few of them.

1        Seeing that guy who just cut me off in traffic, sitting beside the road trying to explain his speed and general lack of regard for traffic conditions to a big ugly cop.

2        A golf ball that travels low and straight off the tee then starts to climb about a hundred yards out, but not too high. The only thing that could make that sight better would be if it were my golf ball. 

3        The smell of baking pies. Apple with lots of cinnamon, tart cherry, or almost any other kind I don’t care - you bake em and I’ll smell em, and then I’ll eat em.

4        Saucy young blondes, brunettes, or redheads; whether they be blade thin or chunky stout doesn’t matter. What matters is how they carry themselves. They are the ones who know that they look their best, but have no idea how good they really look – I hope they never find out. Walk slower, sweet things.

5        Little girls in pink dresses cut just above bony Scooby Doo bandaged knees without the faintest hint of the women they will be… and Little boys with dirty sweat streaked faces smelling like wet collies.

6        The sound of someone snoring in church, and the happy realization that it’s not me.

I ran across several file folders of old cartoons from the days when I was active as a cartoonist (circa 1970s). These have, for whatever reason, never been published, and quite possibly never even been submitted. If you like them, I’ll keep them coming … as long as they last.

Your comments are always welcome and encouraged.
