So long, 2019!

To all of my many friends around the world, as 2019 comes to an end, may I offer my best wishes for 2020.

¡Feliz Año Nuevo!

Bonne année!

Bliadhna Mhath Ùr!

Frohes neues Jahr!

Happy New Year!

Fresh from the oven . . .

The most difficult part is pitting the cherries without a cherry pitter but Judy took care of that for me.

70 years in the kitchen gives her special skills.

THE FRIDAY FUNNIES

I know what you're thinking.

You're thinking "He's been doing so many cartoons lately that he's forgotten this is Friday."

Wrong-oh.

I've just been busy with some errands and such so I've gotten a slow start on your funny bones this week.

But before I begin I'd just like to share one I swiped from the BRD yesterday.

Get ready.

And you thought it was only Boxing Day in the United Kingdom.

All right, let us begin.

Since this holiday period, which runs roughly from Thanksgiving through New Year's Day, tends to dwell upon food, I think that will be my theme for the rest of these Friday Funnies.

Okay, I kinda cheated on that last one but it's funny, ain't it?

Well, Gentle Readers, have a fantastic weekend, eat and drink well and don't forget to keep laughing.

Here, kitty-kitty . . .

(oh-oh, there's trouble ahead . . .)

PUNNY

My local library (Prescott Valley Public Library) apparently has someone new in charge of their social media with a sense of humor.

This was posted by them on Facebook yesterday.

And a longtime ago colleague of mine, Jolly John, posted this holiday humor.

All I have to do is sit back and aggregate.

THE BIG DAY IS FINALLY HERE

Can't forget our friends in the Doggie World.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

THE EVE

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house . . .

ONE MORE

Oops, I almost forgot.
