The Ballad of Gunther
.
He was timid, wore a beard, and sewed with the best,
With a backpack over his red plaid vest.
He could be mean and surly right clear through,
Which was kinda weird, ’cause he was yellow too.
.
They called him Gunther.
Big Gunther.
Big, timid Gunther.
Big, timid, sissy Gunther.
The hundred and forty-second fastest sartorialist in the West.
.
He came from the old Pitts High School spread,
With 10-gallons of curl relaxer on his head.
He always followed his mother’s wishes,
Even on the range he used two sets of dishes.
.
Gunther.
Big, timid Gunther.
Big timid, sissy Gunther.
The hundred and forty-second fastest sartorialist in the West.
.
There was a wedding ceremony that was about to convene,
And the town said, “Gunther, we need your sewing machine!”
When the ceremony started at the break of dawn,
Gunther’s sewing machine was there, but Gunther was gone.
.
Gunther.
Big, timid Gunther.
Big timid, sissy Gunther.
Big timid, sissy, deserter Gunther.
The hundred and forty-second fastest sartorialist in the West.

Cute bunny strips were usually nothing but bunnies, and sometimes they were even tagged "special" where the date usually went, but something suspicious (or just plain inept) seems to be going on here anyway, since the Times-Picayune of New Orleans decided to print a rerun from June.

Does this sound normal to any of you? "It's your dad" rather than "It's dad" sounds really odd to me. I can't imagine anyone I know saying it like that.

Aside from telling an actual joke which might be funny in a strip that didn't look like a fart, I have a probably :corsair: question about this one too. I certainly remember "fart" being, if not a cuss word per se, then at least a word one does not say in polite company. A word kids use but they don't say in front of adults, like. Certainly not something to show up on the funny pages. Is this regional or generational or what? Is "fart" ok for kids cartoons and such now?

As a parent of a ten-year-old and hence a consumer of children's media: yes. Bodily functions are an easy way to get cheap laughs in a kids' movie. Hell, The Angry Birds Movie earlier this year had a joke about drinking piss.

"It's your Dad" is a little weird. It's weirder to get a call from a parent requesting to be cheered up. Maybe my dad is just unusually stoic, but I can't picture him ever doing that. Or if he did, just making it a normal call and not admitting to feeling down.

Regardless, he is great. He's not too annoying on facebook either, although I get tired of the cat/dog poetry he sometimes posts, particularly when a new book is coming out. But those books are doing a lot for him so I'll deal with it. Just not so much my thing.

First I want to say outright that I sent a friend request out of curiosity, not for trolling purposes. I don't think you're accusing me of that, but I don't want anybody getting the idea that I want to be mean to Charles Boyce. All evidence points to him being a very nice man and I don't want to bother him. Even if his FB were completely bonkers I would have a purely Look, But Don't Touch policy.

That said, his Facebook is pretty normal. I think maybe the descriptor I'm looking for is "pleasant." He doesn't really post about his comic or about technology or anything like that. Mostly it's about events he's attended or sharing about awards and honors given to people he admires. It's very nice and low key and I like to see that he seems to be doing well.
