Hi
Friday
Don’t know what happened with yesterday’s post. I guess I wrote Friday instead of Thursday. Heck, these days I’m not even sure what month it is.
But first, what did Santa bring me? (I was such a good boy all year!)

Sunday And Happy New Year!
Speaking of monkeys, back in the early 90’s, King Features did a promotion based on the two monkey stories that I had drawn. I was dressed like an island guy (which I am) and they got this monkey to do the photoshoot. Now this monkey, as they assured me, was the friendliest, gentle photoshoot monkey on the face of the planet. It took three or four hours to get ready to shoot, and all that time everybody was playing with the monkey. The monkey was really getting pissed. The time came to take the photo. They put the monkey on my shoulder, she started screaming, knocked off my hat, and bit me on the top of my head, then she jumped down and turned over the tray of beer on my lap. If you look closely at the photo you can see my wet pants that we tried to obscure. Well, they took the photo of me alone and a bunch of pictures of the monkey which they added to the shot. This is not the publicity brochure, it was the program for the National Cartoonists Society convention in 1995.

Saturday
Date night. That means we sit home and watch an old movie. Wait a minute! I just realized every night is date night!
Here’s a little note from Richard O. He did something smart the other night:
As you know, people have been known to have unexpected brushes with the authorities from time to time, often on the way home after a “social session” with family or friends.
Well, this year, it happened to me. I was out for the evening to a party and had more than several margaritas coupled with a bottle of rather nice red wine.
It was held at a great Mexican restaurant. Although relaxed, I still had the common sense to know I was slightly over the limit.
That’s when I did something I’ve never done before…I took a taxi home.
On the way home there was a police roadblock, but since it was a taxi, they waved it past, and I arrived home safely without incident. These roadblocks can be anywhere, and I realized how lucky I was to have chosen to take a taxi.
The real surprise to me was that I had never driven a taxi before. I don’t know where I got it, and now that it’s in my garage, I don’t know what to do with it!

Speaking of trained monkeys, Robert R sent this curiosity. The baboon is smarter than most of my friends.

BTW, I posted one of my old videos on TikTok. I don’t know how you find it. I guess you search for “Bud Grace”
I notice that the monkey on Ernie’s head is picking bugs
