For the next couple of weeks, I am re-releasing some old comics from a few years ago at the rate of one-a-day until July 1st.
1. Kansas. In 2008, I went to Kansas to visit my husband’s family.
2. The Sunflower State. I didn’t know what to expect. It was everything I had expected and more– including a tornado! Stay tuned.
3. What’s in Kansas? Kansas was a complete unknown to me.
4. Tornado Alley. I knew Kansas was famous for tornados, I just didn’t really expect to be in one.
5. Cawker City: Home to the World’s Largest Ball of Sisal Twine. The day started out, um, normally…
6. Rain Tornado. A rain tornado is one you can’t see, because of rain and darkness, until it hits you.
7. Tornado Shelter. The more doors you can put between yourself and the tornado, the better.
8. Tornado in Manhattan Kansas. It destroyed the True Value Hardware store. The K-State campus nuclear reactor wasn’t damaged.
9. Tornado in Chapman, Kansas. Everything you know can change in a matter of minutes.
10. Kansas Flip-flops. I found people from Kansas to be generous, practical and unpretentious.
11. Prairie Cathedrals. Parts of Kansas are so featureless that one often uses non-geographic landmarks for navigation.
12. Toilet Alley. Everyday life can sometimes seem rather dull.
13. Deja Vu. Everyday life can sometimes seem rather dull, without surprises.
14. Driving and Sex. This is my friend Dani’s favorite Encore Seraphine comic.
15. The Pretty Girl. Losing one’s confidence is a horrible feeling.
16. Trickle Down Theory. Ultimately, everything trickles down whether we like it or not.
17. 28% Dork. I think this is something one never outgrows. It is something in which to take pride.
While I was gone again to Kansas, I hope that you enjoyed some of my old comics. I’ll post some new ones shortly.
I don’t snort when I laugh, but I always sneeze twice. I have to tell people to hold their ‘gesundheit’ or ‘bless you’ until after the second sneeze so they don’t have the wasted effort. Of course, that could mean the demons are able to get inside me if my first of two sneezes is not blessed. I’m not so sure if sneeze blessings coming only once after multiple sneezes prevents evil spirits for both sneezes or not. I used to work with a lady who always squeaked after a sneeze. I have no idea how she even made the sound and she claimed she didn’t either, but after every sneeze came a squeak. It could be that she had too many unblessed sneezes in the past and is full of evil spirits, so their movement at sneeze time causes the squeak.
No, but I’ve been known to hiccup – something that makes everybody else laugh.
Great reruns.
I never lost anything in Kansas. Hopefully you know what that sentence means:-) Is there a reason the links next to the numbers don’t go anywhere? Call me a puzzled web designer.
wow ! nice series !
snort-snort-snort-snort
too funny, I will come back and read the rest of your post, I have a lot of catching up to do.
BTW after 3 sneezes we say… morgen mooi weer, tomorrow it will be wonderful weather….
is that you? cute kid.. lol..
i used to not snort when i laugh, but now i do.. lol, oh well..
Hi Sera
A lot of water under the bridge since those posts – I trust your well and enjoying life. My eldest daughter has very raucous laugh but like perhaps your snorting they are part of you trademark and no doubt are readily accepted by your friends and family.
Best wishes
Love these pix of ‘growing-up’ you. And – what a fun cartoon to accompany!!!
one of the traumas of aging is fashion tribulation. dorky is always changing, and those who cling to the haute couture of any past life become the dorks of the future.
… and, only because it’s you asking, yes, i do, very occasionally snort when i laugh. mortifying.
Is that you – looking all beautiful in all stages of life. Oh my Gosh! I had those crooked glasses with crooked cut bangs (mom loved to cut my hair or worse yet perm it!). Great!
