Today’s comic comes from a strip named “Polly”. It’s dated July 16, 1973. I have been unable to find out anything about the strip or its cartoonist, which is a real rarity. (There is a much older strip called “Polly and her Pals”, but this isn’t that.)
Anyways, here it is, and I think it expresses a sentiment was can all agree with.
That is a great feeling! -TJ
I don’t think you could get away with saying “It really turns me on” these days – people might get the wrong idea.
I actually don’t like the mud, but cool water is absolutely wonderful on a hot day.
Yeah, that really dates the comic, doesn’t it?
Went through the mud today, it was very nice. My partner on the other hand “No! I can’t take one step out into the garden! My feet will get wet!!” Lol.
Hah!
Wet feet dry quickly. Wet shoes take forever . . .
“Turn on, tune in, drop out” as Timothy Leary said to the hippies in 1966. And BBC radio in 1967 was reluctant to play the Beatles “A Day in the Life” because of the line “I’d love to turn you on….”
There were more meanings to that phrase then, not just sexual arousal.
A friend informs me that the cartoonist for “Polly” was Malcolm Hancock and the strip was published between 1972 and 1974. (He also did a lot more than just that.)
