I especially liked the volume about Holidays.

My first exposure to Peanuts was with the Christmas special.

I don't know if I really have a favorite comic strip. Pearls Before Swine is the only one that I recall giving me a bona fide LOL moment in the last several years, though.

So points for that.

I love Mutts, too. Hey! Its creator is even from New Jersey, like me! How 'bout that?!

Far Side really holds up well decades after it finished. So maybe that one could be my favorite.

Far Side is one of the first "adult" strips I got into as a kid and it still holds up as one my favorites.

My favorite local sub shop has a big picture frame filled with old Far Side cartoons. I always make a point of sitting next to it and re-reading them while I'm having my sandwich. Yeah, even the ones which take place inside the human body.

I love the Far Side!

It's because of Gary Larson that we always call it, "Cat FUD" when it's time to serve the pets their dinner.

Of course, FUD is also the name of a food distribution company that supplies a lot of the Mexican/Latino grocery stores and restaurants around here. I see their trucks all the time.

I wonder how well Larson's jokes usually translated into Spanish...

(Can't forget the famous Far Side reenactments page!)

We used to refer to any comestibles as "fud" because of a Laverne and Shirley episode where Shirley says grace:
"God is great, God is good. God, we thank you for this fud."

She liked it to rhyme.

The theme song to Laverne & Shirley never fails to give me the warm fuzzies.

I have a soft spot for the Ducktales theme song

The Ducktales theme sounds a lot like the Pointer Sisters' "Neutron Dance".

Neutron Dance must be quite nice then.

Duck Tales and Darkwing Duck were some of my favorite Disney cartoons

It's a fun song, although the lyrics are actually kind of depressing:

"I don't wanna take it anymore/I'll just sit here locked behind the door."

"A man stole my heart and robbed me blind."

"Someone stole my brand new Chevrolet/And the rent is due, I've got no place to stay."

Although I guess the whole point is that the only real escape the song's narrator can find is by doing the neutron dance.

Then there's this version of the DuckTales theme:

That's hilarious, Rocky. LOL

The guy sounds just like Ian McKellen, too!

I used to be able to do a pretty groovy version of Frank Gorshin as the Riddler perfoming Hamlet!

I've been watching some episodes of the old soap opera The Edge of Night from 1982 on YouTube that feature Frank Gorshin as a small-time criminal/actor named Smiley Wilson.

I'm not smiling now. Trafiic was so bad on the skyway it was not moving.

The Sunshine Skyway Bridge spans Tampa Bay, connecting St. Petersburg to Manatee County.

My parents visited St. Petersburg in Russia. Both Blaze and I really want to go

The cake decorator at my teenage-summer job used to sing a song about "Skeeters on peters" when she got bored. I will not repeat the lyrics, however. There's only room on this board for one Lard Lad.

Anyway, the song was still better than anything by Loverboy or Foreigner.

That song title makes me giggle.

The Boyfriend tells me I have a cute giggle.

I beg to differ re: Loverboy.

Listen without preconceptions, especially for that disco-diva note that Mike Reno hits around 05:00.
