…And since I don’t have all that time to enjoy the change I’d better start right now.

“I don’t understand people who expect their dog to maintain a solid, four-mile-an-hour walking pace and jerk at their leash if when it stops to check out a particularly interesting canine posting. You may not be able to appreciate what your dog is experiencing, but you should have enough empathy to get pleasure from the dog’s pleasure.

“After all, the dog doesn’t understand everything you do, either, but it obviously enjoys your company enough to not care. Return the favor.

“The dog deserves your respect anyway, because it’s way above you in some ways. If I could have my dog’s nose for 24 hours, I don’t know what I’d smell first…I think being a dog must be like being on a 24/7 acid trip. I doubt very much that I could handle being a dog.”

A Monday Comic Strip for Our Times

(Big thanks to GoComics.Com!)

Yesterday I returned to larrybrody.com bidding a sad goodbye to a friend. Now it’s time to return to a more joyful side of life.

That’s right. I’m going to share some comic strips! The cultural reality of the one above doesn’t make me laugh, but it’s good for a smile because it says I’m not alone.

No, I’m not going to end this with a sigh. Gotta keep going, ya know?

LB: Elder Rappers! Who Could Ask for More?

Found this comic strip over the weekend. It’s called The Elderberries and is about life in an old folks home.

This particular Sunday strip didn’t make me laugh, but its sure got the music and widened my morning smile bigtime:


(The Elderberries by Corey Pandolph and Phil Frank and Joe Troise for 2/20/2005 Found on GoComics.Com)

I’m not sure when The Elderberries first appeared in the strip world, but I particularly like the way the art references the Underground Comix of the mid 1960s, an era most people I know have never had the chance to experience.
