Overheard in a Kitchen

"I can't believe the comics page today. Even Family Circus was funny. I mean, I didn't laugh out loud or anything, but I wasn't angry at myself for reading it. See?"

"HA! That's pretty good."


"The thing is, I'm compelled to read the whole thing. It's like I'm punishing myself; I hate me, so now I'm going to read Mary Worth. And you'd better stay on my good side, or I'll read it to you."

(Brandishing rolling pin)

"I DO NOT NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS!"

"That was awesome."

"Did I make blog today?"

"Yes. Yes, you did."

  1. Is there any greater beatdown than the comics? I laughed far more (a chuckle) at your little kitchen riff than I have at anything in the newspaper comics since Larson and Waters decided to quit while they were ahead.

  2. But dammit, it's not "Waters," but Waterson, of Calvin And Hobbes fame.

    Bah.

  3. Hmm. . . . that was two days ago. Maybe I'm talking to myself again.
