This comic may seem anecdotal, yet can you remember the plot of “Purple Rain”? I think I watched that movie once back when it came out and only remember the music. And think about it, have you ever heard anyone tell you, “You should watch ‘Purple Rain”!” I doubt it. At the same time, everyone knows the songs.

If you are unfamiliar with any or all of these animals, take a moment to look them up. Maybe you won’t think they look goofy, but I do.

I used to read “Richie Rich” when I was a kid. Back then (70s and 80s), we had a different view on wealth – it was inaccessible to pretty much all of us so it was something of a trope in entertainment (e.g., “Trading Places,” “Silver Spoons,” “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous,” etc.). It was like watching movies about aliens or Bigfoot; fantastical stuff of fiction.

These days, with the advent of the internet, it seems as though becoming a millionaire is only a click away (as the shysters would have you believe). And, since becoming filthy rich is deemed as accessible yet the vast majority of folks don’t achieve such status, there’s animosity towards those who have.

I don’t buy into that (no pun intended). We can still laugh at the rich without hating them. After all, wouldn’t we all like to laugh all the way to the bank one day?

I found these mazes on Creative Fabrica. It would be great if I could make the maze myself – and I’d love to – yet, time is a scarce resource and these little mazes work well. At least I think they do. The raccoon seems to like it.

Mice guys finish last.

I’ll make it easy for you:

Don’t say I never did anything for you.

I was a kid when the “Grease” soundtrack came out. It seemed as though EVERYONE had a copy. It was a double-album set that opened up into an amazing spread:

The image is from an Amazon listing for the album. As of this moment, you can get it for $199!

I enjoyed drawing this cover. I think it’s because it harkens to Watterson’s “Calvin and Hobbes.” I also like snowmen, even though I don’t get to make many here in San Antonio.
