Top Five Things to Change About Myself:
1. I will no longer call people %$$#@ing idiots when they disagree with me. Well, not to their ugly faces. But I will make fun of them on Facebook.
2. I will stop swearing—at least in church.
3. I will stop watching reality shows that don’t feature nudity.
4. From now on, I’ll really give a damn about people. And, when I don’t, I’ll do a better job of faking it.
5. I will spend less time making lists.

Loneliness is never an excuse. Being near sighted, though, and mistaking that other ship full of sailors for your hubby? Maybe!

I already put some dents in their new car. And their mailbox. And one corner of their house.
And maybe their Uncle Willard.
I was going to leave a note, but I didn’t want to mess up things with tape.

Of course we’re just good friends. All that sex is just something that friends do…when their spouses are out of town. And—like all my good friends—please don’t call me at home.

Art by Lou Fine from Smash #23, 1941.
Hey, it’s not hard to find politically incorrect stereotypes in 1940’s comics. For instance, the first two panels here feature the standard issue, evil Chinese crime lord with sinister claw-like hands. By the beard of Fu Manchu, that’s one creepy Asian!
But the comic goes one step further in the third panel—-using a derogatory term featuring one minority to insult another. (“Indian sign” is a hex or curse that you put on someone.)
Of course, a few years later (during World War II) the Chinese were the good guys. So it was the Japanese who were evil and creepy.

But at least they had good manners!
