No Call List- Mildred in the Morning

I had a pretty good weekend.   I did a lot of comic work, sold some jewelry, enjoyed Fathers Day.  I hope to do some more comics and make some jewelry this week.  I also need to make some Cedar Crosses and Copper Crosses… I am running very low on those.  I completed putting together my Hank the Handy Man mini comic on the computer and I hope to be able to print a few copies this week to sell next weekend.  I have been passing lots of copies of the Café Comics out and seem to be getting some response even if I never get any feedback.

I guess the main thing is that life is good at Gatorhead.  I hope it is the same for yall.

A new KRUD-TV comic will be posted Wednesday.

Absence of Mind

I have been busy recently upgrade some old material for print (you can check it out on my other page at
http://bolumpkin.wordpress.com
) but I am also trying to work on some new stuff too.  In the near future I hope to give Edna and Mildred as well as Kurt and Burt a makeover.  It seems like traffic has really died down and the comments are falling off since I haven’t been able to do as much commenting on other websites but one of the things I have learned is that I am doing this for me.  When I get to where I don’t enjoy it, I will quit completely or at least really slack off but I am still havin’ a good time and that’s not bad after 5 years.  I am not sure of the exact date I started but it has been 5 years ago this month.  I hope you have enjoyed a little of what I have posted over those five years…if not, keep checkin’ maybe it will get better.

Don’t forget to go to

Progress-

Sometimes progress brings us changes that we just don’t want to have to deal with.

You probably notice the picture of Bearman of
http://beartoons.com
on Mildred’s wall.  Mildred is not a fan of much but it seems that she must like Bearman and his comics because this is not the first time that she has posted him on her wall.  Actually Bearman might have reached the soft spot (if there is one) in Mildred’s heart because of his annual Charity Challenge.  Bearman uses this challenge to promote his website and as a chance to donate his own money to charitable causes.  You can read more about it here.

I think costing Bearman money is some progress we can all get in on.

Wise Observations by Mildred

I’m pretty much with Mildred on this.  I think people would be amazed if they really knew some of the things that people get grant money to study.  When it comes to some of the so-called discoveries I am in the “Who Cares?” department.  I don’t want to know that certain things in meat are bad for me…I want to know how to cook it so that it has the best flavor.  I don’t want to know the migrating habits of blackbirds…I just want them to stop roosting over my black car.  I get tired of hearing that the things they said were bad for you and nagged you to give up are now being found to have “health benefits”.

Thinking is a lot like that mudhole.  Sometimes we think someone is really deep when all they have done is muddied the waters so we can’t see what’s there.

I would like for you to leave a comment with some of the wasteful studies that you have heard of.

Gatorhead Comics with ADs

This is the next to the last draft of the Gatorhead Comic Sheet with ads.  I think I have included all the ads that were sent to me.  If you sent me an ad and it isn’t included please remind me or send it again and I will include it in a later issue or a later reprint of this on.  If you have an ad (or not) and would like to print some of these flyers out and hand out to friends or even people you don’t really like, feel free to do so.  If your ad is included it might be to your benefit to share some copies.

I will be printing a hundred of these in color this weekend and probably will pass them out in places where they will receive multiple views.  I will then print another hundred to hand out during Craft Shows and Jewelry sales next month.  If you see any errors or anything that should be changed please let me know.  I do want this to be a good reflection on the advertisers. I have one more ad to paste on the page but it is a local ad and I have to do some scanning and adjusting on it.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

A Getwell Card from Edna

In repostin’ stuff I couldn’t leave out the Get Well card from Edna.  I have actually known people who would try to one-up you with their illnesses.

I had intended to upload some jewelery today on my www.bolumpkin.wordpress.com site but I can’t find my card reader that I need  to upload the pictures.  Actually the pictures are pictures of the jewelry that I am going to be giving away in my contest.  There will be twenty winners in the first phase of the contest.  It will run for about a week and will be a way for me to promote my websites and gain new followers (I hope.)

I will be working on the rules (which will be simple, because I need to understand them myself.)

Mildred In The Mornin’

This was one of my earlier Mildred comics where she was flyin’ solo…before Edna.  I think this might have been the first one with a sayin’ on the wall.  Sometimes it is harder to come up with somethin’ for Mildred’s sign than it is to come up with a comic.

The Old Girls Re-Run

Most of us probably remember the TV show “The Golden Girls” and the movie “Steel Magnolias”.  If they ever make a TV show out of Mildred and Edna I would figure there would have to be a reference to metal in the title too but it would have something to do with “rust.”

Yall have a great weekend.  If you happen to be in Benton, MS come by the Benton Farmer’s Market.  I will be sellin’ (hopefully) my Copperhead Jewelry there.

OLYMPIC CHOICES

I am still having problems with ending up in my own spam folder.  I am probably ending up in other peoples spam folder too.  I have tried to contact WordPress and Akismet but I just keep getting a forum to ask questions and I can’t seem to get any response from anyone.  Does anyone have a link or email address that I can use to contact them?
