Just came across this photo of Pickle and Cheeseman.

We went to a big barroom.  There was a Halloween party. Some big guy jumped Cheeseman, knocked him down. The big guy was on top, and Cheeseman couldn’t reach his Cheesewiz., so he grabbed the next thing he could reach and squeezed real, real hard. He left the big guy rolling on the floor, holding his doodads and screaming like a little girl. True.

From 97…

The books are ready at Amazon except the more expensive Sunday Brunch #2. I intend to make hard cover versions in the near future.

This is from 1997:

Hiya

I want you to look at Mark’s post in Comments from yesterday. You know what they say about how to look thin when you’re not? You hang out with fat people. Same thing goes with brains. If you want to look smart, hang out with stupid people. For example, you could hang out with me. People will think you’re a genius.

And here’s a little Thanksgiving treat that I drew about 40 years ago:

For some reason I was never able to sell it. Go figure.

Whew! I spent all morning out at the memory care singing for the old folks (of which I’m one). The good thing about that is they forget as soon as you’re finished.

And now the solution to yesterday’s question. “T” is the time it takes for the trains to meet. The train from Philly leaves 1/2 hour after the train from Cleveland:

Tp=Tc-1/2

The distance each travels is Dp or Dc.

Dc+Dp= 400 miles

Dc=400-Dp

The time it takes the train from Cleveland is:

Tc(h)=Dc(m)/60(m/h)

Dc=60Tc

The amount of time it takes the train from Philly is:

Tp= Dp/80

80Tp=Dp

Plug in stuff and you get:

Tc=400-Dc

Tc-400=Dc

So:

Dc=60(Dc=400)

And:

Tp=Tc-1/2

Tp=Dc/60

Now the train from Cleveland leaves at 8:00. So the time of day when the trains meet is:

T= 8:00+Tc

Which is the same as the time the Philly train gets there which is:

T=8:30 +Tp

So that:

Tp+Tc-*;00+

Shit.
