There's another big summer story going on right now, over at For Better or For Worse. Lynn Johnston has been running that strip daily for what? Over 25 years now? I've followed it from the beginning, and in a way will be sorry to see it end. My point is, though, that after that much time, there are occasionally a few not as exciting dailies. She has no choice in the matter, since she runs in your favorite newspaper every day, and I'm sure it is not always easy to plan a long story in a set format. She also has the bonus that she will be back again the next day, and the reader will forgive the occasional dull strip. Overall, it's the story that counts, and overall she does a great job.
Me? I've got to get your attention when I have it, and I was afraid that a few more straight forward strips to get through the next part of the story would not have been exciting enough. Especially when this strip is a week late, and I cannot promise another strip tomorrow!
So, I decided to have a lot of fun with the story, in the hopes that if I'm having fun, you will as well. :0)
Admittedly, it's a bit odd for me, so at the risk of seeming off my rocker, I present to you today's comic strip, puppets and all. :0)
Cheers, JOHN :0)
PS What's on my iPod today, tomorrow, all week? Fish, 13th Star. Fantastic album!

I see even the puppet Albert has a Charlie Brown sweater.
Brian,
As you know, my early career was heavily influenced by Charles Schulz, and in remembrance I try to pay homage to Peanuts when I can.
Cheers to you who spot these, and remember Peanuts. :0)
