  1. I agree that we really do not have a sense of humor anymore in this country. Sad…
    What a bleak and dour country we have become in only the past 3 years …
    Wake up America!

  2. They’re all wonderful; even to a non-drinker. My own favorites here are #1 with the lampshades, #5 with the husband coming home in a wheelbarrow, #7 with the shocked husband and the horse. but most of all #3 where the husband raised the cut-glass punch bowl nice and high shouting “bottoms up”, covering his ears hearing about it.

  3. I notice that many of the best cartoons date back into the 1950’s. Have we lost our modern sense of humor or is life just too fast now for people to have time to think funny thoughts? I liked the good ol’ days when we could laugh at ourselves instead of finding fault and griping intensely about politics–and do so at peril of losing friendships. I don’t drink but if I did I think I’d like some martoonies. Thanks, Gene!

  4. You knocked a home run again on the cartoons. There was not a bad one in the bunch!
    BTW, we all do stupid things and make stupid decisions when having too much to drink.
    Happy New Year and Best Wishes for 2024.
