Toon’d In
Paulette (currently our favorite listener) sent in this story,
At one time I was an avid collector of comics. I even clipped my favourites from the newspaper, scotch taped them on to construction paper and stored them in binders (which I still have). At some point I stopped reading the comics page. I think Dilbert “jumped the shark” when Scott Adams quit his day job, although every once in a while one of his strips still makes me chuckle.
I have a small collection of more obscure stuff. A crowd favourite is a little book of one panel cartoons called “Unpleasant Ways to Die” that might amuse you. Sadly, most of my books are packed away in boxes while I wait for the contractor to finish the built-ins in my apartment. It’s been a fourteen month project so far. I’ve grown accustomed to being perpetually annoyed.
And she sent these pictures,

Joe sent in this link for an interesting artical on the end of FBOFW
