Today (the 18th) being the extended deadline, I would guess everybody's done with income taxes now, or else made some sort of arrangements.
Like, maybe packing PJs for the pokey!
Remember last year they gave us an extra month because 2020 had been such a frakin' mess?
And, other tropical 'toons:
Happy Easter, Kids!!
Here's a brand-spankin'-new Wolfie-brand-spankin' cartoon to celebrate!
And some of my past favorites!!
Here are a bunch of random pictures and clips that I culled from the Web and edited together-- with no claim of ownership or any sort of financial gain!-- for your entertainment and mine!
The theme is, loosely, Little White Bottoms Turning Pink!!
(It'll look best if you click and take it full screen!)
Speaking of the Bard~!
There was a dumb rhyme we used to say as kids: "Shakespeare! Kick in in the rear!"
This is similar, but classier:
Dev's intelligence and creative wit illuminated many a drab corner, and shored up many a shipwrecked victim. He was a damn decent human being, the sort this tried and tired world can hardly afford to lose.
It might seem strange to anyone outside "our circle" that the author of so much intense romantic spanking fiction and the star of several kinky Shadow Lane videos would be really be so loving and gentle, but there's no paradox. His masculine strength and sense of play easily won the hearts of all of his female fans, who gave him the affectionate nickname "Uncle Dev."
To be honest, some of his sexual fantasy runs into extremities that don't really appeal to me, but there is a lot that I do enjoy, especially his parodies. Look over his list of books HERE!
He certainly earned our respect. At one point in his career, Devlin served in the Military, another example of his sense of duty and honor. He was a man of strong convictions, but I never saw him rant hysterically. As an example, he did urge everyone in our last election to "choose decency over depravity, charity over avarice, democracy over fascism, honor and respect over four horrifying years of daily humiliation upon the world stage."
Dev had just turned seventy. You may have seen his reply to my birthday greeting two posts ago: "This is my big Seven-Oh, so I've made the three-score and ten marker the ancients talk about. Everything from here on out is just frosting on the cake. ;-) "
I knew he was very quietly and courageously fighting cancer, but I didn't know it was about to take him. And I hope I'm not offending his wishes or his loved ones with that "revelation."
Dev loved Bogart and Marx Brothers movies, Shakespeare plays, and Mark Twain's prose, claiming (facetiously, I think) that he shamelessly stole from the best sources. This weekend I will see a local production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream," and think of him.
He often called me "DeeDubya,"
I shall miss him very much.
Besides today being St. Paddy's Day,
'tis also Devlin O'Neill's birthday!!
Pop on over to his blog and wish him the happiest returns of the day!
And if you'd like a present for yourself, click on these blue letters and explore all Dev's Books on Amazon! You'll dance for Joy! Maybe for Kathleen, too!
Naturally, Romance gets a lot of attention on February 14th, not to mention all the card and candy sales!
But we ll know Love isn't limited to calendar days!
Which is good, because I didn't do a new 'toon for it in time, nor did I feel like running the reruns. You know, like this:
But to celebrate love, here's a parody 'toon of a tune from one of my favorite Olde Tyme Broadway Shows!
YEEEeeHAW!
I think there really is a group called "Smoking Enders," but this is probably not how it began:
