“Look for the bare necessities / The simple bare necessities / Forget about your worries and your strife / I mean the bare necessities / Old Mother Nature’s recipes / That brings the bare necessities of life.”
(^^^that song from the Disney film, ‘The Jungle Book’)
Oh, *that’s* why I’d started thinking of that song, because of the title here!! The one on GC doesn’t show that.
Thanks for the lyrics, Gale. I’ve always like that song.
And, yeah, GoComics doesn’t show my titles. The links that I post on GoComics (to this site) often have some version of the titles embedded, of course.
No, it ISN’T legal. That’s what makes it so much fun.
