Cute cartoons – nice way to brighten up our day.
So far, so good, I love good cartoons and jokes.
I like your cartoons real well. I remember over the years of reading the Saturday Evening Post, I would look thru the magazine and read all the cartoons first. I especially liked “Hazel”
Great stuff….. we all need some laughing in the times we live…… just had a few belly laughs reading what u have sent…… keep it up…….
Very funny cartoons. Marriage is always a good source for humour, at least in cartoons.
The Post has the best cartoons ! I cut them out often and send them to friends or post on our kitchen bulletin board. They always evoke a chuckle. Thanks !
These are great. I got a good laugh, you made my day
Most times truer words have not been spoken!
These are so funny!! I am sure a lot of women’s and men’s heads were nodding to some of these!
As a bachelor, simply ate these up. Look what I’ve been missing

would swear, that for at least one of these cartoons, you were the fly on the wall during my 40 year marriage!
What a dull world this would be without comic relief..we need a lift to our day
