or Man Duck Walks While Walking Duck For No Goose Is Good Goose While Avoiding Drug Store Despite Mallardy…
Which reminds me of one of my favorite jokes: Duck walks into a drugstore and says, “Give me some ChapStick and put it on my bill.” That has little or nothing to do with the above sketch but why should we trouble ourselves with coherency at this stage of the game? To be honest, I don’t know what the drawing is all about, I just scanned it from one of my sketchbooks…just sort of the rambling thoughts that occupy my otherwise sedentary mind. It seems to include the convenience store (Stop N Go) that replaced the old dairy at the end of my boyhood street. I snuck glimpses of Playboy, bought baseball cards and about a million RC Colas (because they came in 16 oz. bottles while tastier Coke and Pepsi were 10 and 12 oz., I was a prudent shopper back then), frozen “Zero” candy bars, comic books and even a few 45 rpm singles at that crummy store. I think it’s still there, near the corner of Philadelphia and Reservoir Streets in Pomona.
