  1. Didn’t realize I’d missed this group 8 months ago. I’ll have to go with #1 at the top–what nerve! Then # 6 about the fans wanting the car back. What an embarrassing place and time to be told that. Ouch!

  2. Thanks!! We’ve subscribed for over 50 years!! Couldn’t this be one of the reasons I’ve lived to 91 years?!!

  3. Very funny baseball cartoons. My favorite was the one where the batter went with the catcher to talk to the pitcher.
