Phil, you're a genius.
What Barbara said!
YES, YES, YES.
Time to get our of Dodge (JonesTown).
OUT not our
Phil,
A City of Shasta Lake City Council member is calling for your brilliance to do a cartoon of her cartoonish style behavior.
Duly noted! We'll see what we can do!
Oh sure. Now, all morning I've had that "cat's crotch fever" song stuck in my head like an arrow through the skull. I owe you a noogie Phil, just as soon as they let you out of that re-education camp.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the bobblehead !
As a current city worker I would love to post my name here – but the atmosphere there is a bit, shall we say, shaky right now.
The bobble head Missy was an idea from someone special…perhaps another city worker..
Sometimes it takes a good cartoonist to see the big picture!
Funny stuff Phil !
Phil… Thanks for the Sunday laughs. We do have some funny stuff going around city hall and in the city council chambers of B.B. Redding's old burg. Ha! Maybe we need a fort. I know, we could call it Jones Fort. I know we'd have plenty of guns and ammo, but little on brain power.
Phil,
Your cartoons just make my Sunday morning!
You nailed it, Phil. Most excellent.
Phil, et al,
Great idea but for a lot of us the name "Jonestown" sorta isn't funny. If you don't remember the Rev Jim Jones and Jonestown, Guyana, Google it and see.
Either is what is happening in Redding and the rest of the country. It is very scary the times we are living in; not Jonestown scary, but close. It could mean the end of our civilization as we know AND love it.
And the reference to don't drink the tea leads one to believe the cartoonist is keenly aware of the history Jonestown…that makes for a good, yes perhaps tasteless, gag.
Thanks. You made my cartoon day complete.
Phil…………You the man!! Fantastic cartoon!
Phil, I tell you again……you are the Jon Stewart of Redding. Too bad you do not do some stand-up comedy in town.
I do my best stuff sitting down. But, I will be Cartooning On The Radio again as Jim Dyar and I fill in for a vacationing Doni on her Sunday morning radio show – this coming Sunday… check your local listings.
Sunday, Sept. 12, 11 am on KCNR 1460 AM, Redding, CA. Check their website for streaming audio or to download the show!
Uh… hence the whole, "Don't drink the tea (Kool-Aid) gag… thanks for pointing out the connection.
Maybe I shouldn't be so subtle.
Phil, I don't like tea anyway. Your cartoon is great, and you have said it all! Pictures are worth a thousand words!
Hey, with my cartoons you get pictures AND a thousand words! Verbosity, where is thy sting?
Nice job!!!!
YEAH, MAN!!
Glad to see all the negative posts were pulled, makes for a great cup of flavor aid for the followers of ignorance. Everyone just LOVES drivel!! May I please have some more Phil, huh huh huh? Socialism/Jonestown, too close for your comfort?
