Dear Readers, I want to NOT thank you for not having sent me any money by express mail in order to help keep the webcomic servers firing over here. Sometimes I wonder why I bother doing this comic for all of you when you are not even willing to help a person in a moment of trial. It is like my car broke down on the side of the frontage road of Highway 55 and none of you stopped to fix it but instead just zoomed on down the road to “fun” destinations such as Blytheville, Arkansas or other such places. I am disappointed in each and every reader today.
Fortunately my faith in humanity is not altogether destroyed because of a certain little known fact… it seems dear readers that Angels are Real, and in fact one of them happens to be someone very close to me. One of these angels is in fact my dear ex wife Linda Junior (she retains my last name still) who after I explained my situation to her over an emergency dinner at our favorite Shoneys restaurant after I waited ALL DAY LONG FOR A SINGLE CALL from the Hayti City Clerk office and NO CALLS CAME letting me know that money was on the way. So I went to dinner with Linda and not only was she willing to pick up the check even though it was not her turn (and not for the last three times either but shhh don’t remind her!) but she was willing to call the electric company and talk to them and maybe pay down a portion of the bill so the lights can stay on. She is true blue as well as highly intelligent dear readers and I’ll bet you can guess what character in my comic she is based on 🙂
I will see you tomorrow when maybe things will be a little bit BRIGHTER… no pun intended!!!!!!!
May the Laughs Be With You,
Steve Junior
I am glad to see that you were able to find some assistance. I had considered helping out, however my personal philosophy prohibits me from engaging in acts of charity or making loans without some form of collateral. Perhaps if you created some desirable merchandise your readers could purchase some. I can recommend some decent and reasonably priced off-shore clothing manufacturers. I would of course require a fee up front.
At any rate, I am also glad to see the hilarious hijinks continue. If I may make a suggestion, perhaps you could have two of the characters (I’ll let you decide WHICH two, but I am sure it’s as obvious to you as it is to me) almost kiss, then be interrupted by their roommate. I believe I saw a similar scenario played out on the hit show Wonder Years, to great comic effect.
And what of value might you be willing to offer in order for to commision me for draw this strip?

if they get a cat, it should be named “scoopy mews”. Just doing my part to help.
Oh, you put your finger on a live wire there, Mister “Jones.” Their cat, Mengele, will make a very special appearance very soon!
