  2. I’m 82 yrs old, grew up in rural Ala, “poor,” supposedly…but I, and 3 sibs had access to a daily newspaper, Reader’s Digest, and The Sat. Eve. Post. I thought/THINK Normal Rockwell ranks with the Old Masters…his paintings on covers on your mag. were FAR more “expressive” of a situation or event than a photograph could have achieved. THANK YOU, sincerely, for the memories! David Mobley, in Montgomery, AL.

  3. These cartoons are all really good. My own favorites here are numbers 1, 5, and 7.

    With # 1 I would have replied, “Bobby’s right. I am too cheap to raise your allowance.”

    Number 5 is hysterically funny; those shaved and half shaved dogs; my God. There really ARE 15, I counted.

    With #7, I’m afraid Dad’s right. There really IS something wrong with a kid that doesn’t like peanut butter! Not to be confused with kids that through no fault of their own, are allergic and can’t have it, even though they’d love to otherwise. For a dog, a teaspoon here and there is the ultimate treat.
