Saturday Comic

Today’s comic comes from Bil Keane’s Family Circus. It’s dated August 14, 2004.

This is a joke that I’ve seen over and over again in various other comic strips. But there’s nothing wrong with that.

Bristling

In my last blog entry, my son and I were touring Lehman Caves at Great Basin National Park. But that was in the morning.

So in the afternoon we went out hiking.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

My Lehman’s Opinion

Our next stop in our trip out west: Great Basin National Park. This sits in Nevada near the border with Utah.

We left out campground at Craters of the Moon on June 25th and it was a good 7 hour drive . . . through a lot of nothing.

For our comic today I’ve gone back to March 23, 1953. It’s from Out Our Way by J. R. Williams.

It’s that time of year when kids are going back to school (it started last Thursday around here—Yikes!).

Out Our Way, March 23, 1953

I guess they had different problems back then.

Not Lunacy at All

After leaving Yellowstone we headed to Craters of the Moon National Monument & Preserve. We were there for about a day and a half (2 nights): June 23 and 24.

Imperial Asperations

Let me finish up writing about the hike at Yellowstone to Fairy Falls, Imperial and Spray Geysers, and Sentinel Meadows. This was on June 22nd.

By the way, I don’t usually break up hike descriptions into separate posts, but on a trip like this, some of the hikes generate so many pictures it makes sense to do so.

Here’s a comic many might be able to relate to. It’s from a comic strip called Speed Bump by Dave Coverly and is dated July 14, 2015.

Fairly Fairy

My son and I were still in Yellowstone on June 22. The day before had been our “rest” day, and we only hiked to the Virginia Cascade and then followed that up by heading down to the Yellowstone River at Tower Fall.

But the 22nd was our last day in Yellowstone, and we'd planned a pretty extensive hike for the day.

Below the Tower

On June 21, the day we were calling our “rest day”, after we visited the Virginia Cascade, we went back to our Tower Fall Campground to relax.

But we quickly became bored.

Here we are with a comic from the strip For Better or For Worse, by Lynne Johnston. The comic is from June 10, 2013.

I think it does a good job of showing just how much kids enjoy going barefoot, regardless.

(Of course, it also perpetuates the myth that bare feet are somehow associated with colds.)
