Hola Family, Friends & those I haven’t met yet Today’s cartoon idea came to me while standing at the stove.  For a while it’s been tucked away in my “To Do” folder.

Hola Family, Friends and those I haven’t met yet For years I’ve used a basic, no-frills, super simple, old skool, 2G flip phone.  No internet, no GPS, no-high tech nothin’.  (Farley’s probably laughing at me now.)  I can fold it up, slip it into my pocket, and no butt dials.  I’ve dropped it multiple timesContinue reading “Our Absurd Life: 05/25/22 – The Towering Paisano”
