Mel Torme said he co-wrote The Christmas Song on a hot summer day as a way to stay cool

Mel Torme was great. I've always liked his jazzy Christmas album

I’m grateful I got to see him live x2 and met him for a selfie (before selfies were a thing) and autograph after one of the concerts.

That's the nice thing about being in a field where the hard work has to be done in advance of the Holiday Season rather than during the Holiday Season. You get to sit back and enjoy it while the cashiers and department store Santas are going nuts. :D

Those Valentines strips aren't going to write themselves. 🤣

Either that wall, or someone, needs a few more bricks cuz they may be a few bricks shy of a load

If Mr Gargle is any relation to Mother Gargle of The Born Loser (they do act similar), you and Chip could do cross over strips.

No, it was a total coincidence. I don’t know which came first.

I still think it would be cool to see you do a cross over strip with the Gargles as the common character. Like Sam Drucker in Petticoat Junction, Beverly Hillbillies, and Green Acres

The five yard penalty strip really made me laugh out loud! Vince Guaraldi is a great way to get into the Christmas spirit. I've been on the countdown since December 26th of last year.

"Only" $1,500. Probably would go for around $6,000 plus today.

That’s the first thing I thought when I saw the strip again!
