Mon. 8/17/09 9:10am From: bw

Mon. 8/17/09 9:12am From: zen gallon hat

So, that is the sound of one fist clopping.

Mon. 8/17/09 9:15am From: v k

Mon. 8/17/09 9:17am From: PKNY

I really dig that that Dave Bixby record, thanks for playing!

Mon. 8/17/09 9:18am From: Joe Steele

Pretty much everything I know about comics I learn from this show. So I don't know who wrote this, since you haven't said yet.

Mon. 8/17/09 9:19am From: annie

good morning.... !!!!!

Mon. 8/17/09 9:28am From: PMD

That Katey... wonder how she took care of him.

Mon. 8/17/09 9:30am From: Duke

Is iteh comic by Harvey Kurtzman? A 40's version of Brokeback Mountain maybe?

Mon. 8/17/09 9:30am From: still b/p

Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.
Author - US Dept. of Health?

Mon. 8/17/09 9:32am From: Joe Steele

Well this is an unexpected turn.

Mon. 8/17/09 9:35am From: bw

Duke ya got it right!
joe - unexpected? heh

Mon. 8/17/09 9:37am From: zen gallon hat

So that is the sore of ranch-hand clap happening.

Mon. 8/17/09 9:46am From: v k

heard a different Jonathan Richman song on 91.5 ("wake up ny") on drive in this a.m. - there is more than one!

Mon. 8/17/09 9:51am From: Joe Steele

These two story lines veered very far away from eachother. I'm curious to see if they somehow converge again.

Mon. 8/17/09 9:58am From: Cecile

My second volume of Stardust and His Friends should be shipping next week...

Mon. 8/17/09 10:03am From: Cecile

Sounds like it's working today.

never apologize, never explain Benjamin!

Mon. 8/17/09 10:06am From: Cecile

How about a bunch of inflatable kiddie pools in the 'FMU parking lot?

Mon. 8/17/09 10:17am From: Carmichael

Good mornin' everyone.

Mon. 8/17/09 10:19am From: annie

Mon. 8/17/09 10:21am From: Cecile

Mornin' carm, annie, all.

Mon. 8/17/09 10:23am From: Carmichael

Yes Annie, I made it through 2+ weeks of vacation. Low key birthday, relaxing at the beach and wandering through museums. Lots o' fun.

Mon. 8/17/09 10:24am From: Joe Steele

"Keep Thursday night open for me." I gotta remember that line.

Mon. 8/17/09 10:25am From: annie

sounds great carm...

Mon. 8/17/09 10:29am From: Joe Steele

He was singing about Syphilis!? Why was he signing about Syphilis?

Mon. 8/17/09 10:29am From: Duke

He was singing about syphilis?!! Is that a common subject for cowboy songs?

Mon. 8/17/09 10:30am From: bw

yews I know

this is confusing.. in the comic there is a two page pull out of the song about syphilis..

Mon. 8/17/09 10:30am From: annie

Oh give me a home, where the buffalo roam, and the deer and the antelope play; ... now how am i gonna write syphilis in to that tune?? gotta make it catchy for the campfire friday night..

Mon. 8/17/09 10:30am From: PMD

Carmichael - happy belated birthday! Did you see the meteor shower?

Mon. 8/17/09 10:32am From: PMD

Just got caught up on the comic, so NOW I know what you are talking abuot. How weird!

Mon. 8/17/09 10:33am From: Cecile

Ah modern medicine to the rescue

annie, you're killing me here.

Mon. 8/17/09 10:33am From: Joe Steele

The ambiguous time period in which this is taking place is equally perplexing.

Mon. 8/17/09 10:34am From: PMD

I like how the barbequed steer is in convenient square blocks.

Mon. 8/17/09 10:35am From: annie

joe, i was thinkin the same thing.

Mon. 8/17/09 10:35am From: Carmichael

Thanks PMD, I did see some of it, as I spent a bit of time laying on my back late at night howling at the moon.

Just kidding.

Mon. 8/17/09 10:36am From: still b/p

Sing (or recite) the song!
Dose Riders in the Sack!

Mon. 8/17/09 10:39am From: annie

wonder if he dies before the comic is done, will they get idi amin to be a stand-in for lucky?

Mon. 8/17/09 10:39am From: PMD

Carmichael - great! I saw none - crappy light pollution here in DC area.

I think I know now how Katey took care of him.

Mon. 8/17/09 10:39am From: Parq

Oh give me a home
Where the cowboys get boned
So the syph-a-lis virus can play . . .


Okay, whaddaya want from me it's my first day back from vacation.

Mon. 8/17/09 10:41am From: annie

parq, it's better than what i came up with..

Mon. 8/17/09 10:42am From: PMD

Parq - eggscellent.

Mon. 8/17/09 10:42am From: Cecile

you should play some Zebulon Pike if you have it
This sounds just like Seabrook Power Plant

Mon. 8/17/09 10:48am From: bw

i put the song up

Mon. 8/17/09 10:52am From: annie

i personally know of no one who actually says the word "sob" when they are crying..

Mon. 8/17/09 10:53am From: Parq

Annie, she was calling him a son of a bitch.

Mon. 8/17/09 10:53am From: Carmichael

Only a doctor can cure syph-a-lis .......

Mon. 8/17/09 10:54am From: Ricky

Aww, Lucy, thanks for 'splainin'

Mon. 8/17/09 10:54am From: PMD

Parq - LOL!
And I know of noone that says LOL when they are laughing.

Mon. 8/17/09 10:55am From: annie

i bet this is one of those 50s morality tales designed to fend off bad behavior on the range..

Mon. 8/17/09 10:56am From: annie

sorry, i should have said "reckon"

Mon. 8/17/09 10:57am From: cb

Poor lucky! That's what happens when you get mixed up with dance hall girls!

Mon. 8/17/09 11:03am From: Wang Chung

We were so in phase in our dance hall days

Mon. 8/17/09 11:13am From: jonathan

huh, weird. liz berg played this orphan fairytale song as well as bathing druid last week. thanks for letting me hear a song on wfmu that i recognise

Mon. 8/17/09 11:14am From: bw

that orpahn fairytale record is the bestest!

Mon. 8/17/09 11:15am From: annie

lucky only has half an hour to get cured, win the girl, get the cattle back, AND beat up his arch enemy.

Mon. 8/17/09 11:17am From: cb

That's a lot of pressure to put on Lucky, but if anybody can do all those things, a comic book cowboy named Lucky can!

Mon. 8/17/09 11:21am From: Cecile

Lucky is clean, his tests came back negative a few panels back. But you're right, Annie, dude has a full plate.

Mon. 8/17/09 11:23am From: LizGig

That doctor has some amazing diagnostic skills! Must have x-ray vision. Could it be Superdoc hiding behind those glasses?

Mon. 8/17/09 11:24am From: Lone Ranger

Hey, I'd love to have that green horse..

Mon. 8/17/09 11:24am From: cb

I know, right? Like how did he diagnose a busted rib with a stethescope? Amazing!

Mon. 8/17/09 11:25am From: dei xhrist

suddenly this strip adds one of the Four Horses of the Apocalypse - the fourth one was a green, according to Aphrodite's Child

Mon. 8/17/09 11:26am From: dc pat

the 5th one must have been red.

Mon. 8/17/09 11:27am From: More Campfire Songs

Out in the STD town of El Paso,
I fell afoul of a less-than clean girl,
Nighttime had found me in Katie's vageena,
Me and them damn spirochetes had a whirl...

Mon. 8/17/09 11:30am From: tired formula?

so-so story + booze reference = good story

Mon. 8/17/09 11:30am From: Burl Ives

That's on the B-side of my song "Sweet Betsy of Pike"

Mon. 8/17/09 11:35am From: Trapper

You guys are young!

Mon. 8/17/09 11:36am From: wallyballou

Dylan was looking for the house wher Springsteen wrote Born to Run, http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=8335824&page=1

Mon. 8/17/09 11:36am From: John M

Ben! The missing intern whose story you are referring to is the story of Chandra Levy. Her story was revived this year by the wonderful institution called the Washington Post. Thanks to the Post's story, Gary Condit has essentially been cleared of any wrongdoing and another man has been indicted.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/metro/specials/chandra/

Mon. 8/17/09 11:37am From: bw

wow!
thanks for that john M

Mon. 8/17/09 11:38am From: dc pat

this tune freaks me out, man!

Mon. 8/17/09 11:38am From: risky!

GET EM BEN!!

Mon. 8/17/09 11:42am From: annie

BW- i'm dying to know the year this was printed, this lucky strip.

Mon. 8/17/09 11:42am From: LizGig

Lucky and Sal gaze deeply into each other's eyes as their blood intermingles...

Mon. 8/17/09 11:44am From: annie

"........which is her right, of course" i love that...

Mon. 8/17/09 11:44am From: dei x

it's their right, of course. There's ain't no "death panel" in the ol' West.

Mon. 8/17/09 11:44am From: Parq

My workload for the week has just arrived in a great big pile. This sinister piano riff, insistently repeating, is setting just the right tone.

Mon. 8/17/09 11:45am From: bw

hi CB - this next one is for you!

Mon. 8/17/09 11:46am From: Carmichael

What kind of ambulance do they have in the 'ol West? The newspaper guys look ilke they're from Superman. I'm confused. Is this a Western?

Mon. 8/17/09 11:47am From: John M

No problem, D-dubs. I'm bitter they didn't win a pulitzer for reviving the story & doing the DC Police Department's job for them. Anywho, White Magic rock. Thanks for the good tunes.

Mon. 8/17/09 11:48am From: annie

carm that's why i think it's from the 50s

Mon. 8/17/09 11:50am From: Joe Steele

Yet horse still seems to be the main mode of transit.

Mon. 8/17/09 11:51am From: Parq

Meanwhile, a little boy named George was growing up . . .

Mon. 8/17/09 11:51am From: dei x

It takes place in the Old West with photocopiers, electric lights on the bed frame, and no condoms.

Mon. 8/17/09 11:52am From: LizGig

It's an early example of the alternative history genre. With added syphilis.

Mon. 8/17/09 11:55am From: woman's work

of course

Mon. 8/17/09 11:55am From: dc pat

oh NO! Lucky's kids inherited his weird tiny nose!!

Mon. 8/17/09 11:55am From: Cecile

AGH! So Mom told them Dad has syphilis?
Wow, what a cute meet.

Mon. 8/17/09 11:56am From: annie

ok, bw, the year!! please....

Mon. 8/17/09 11:57am From: Doc says

Someday this here territory will be a state, but until then, screw any confidentiality laws.

Mon. 8/17/09 11:57am From: PMD

DOes syphillis make your kids do the dishes?

Mon. 8/17/09 11:58am From: Joe Steele

You'd think after having three kids Mrs. Lucky would have something else to talk about other than the pre-marital syphilis

Mon. 8/17/09 11:58am From: Carmichael

I like the varnished Glen Campbell hair on the little kids.

Mon. 8/17/09 11:58am From: annie

makes em think girls should stay in the house and do women's work

Mon. 8/17/09 11:59am From: bw

1949!

Mon. 8/17/09 11:59am From: Carmichael

Looks like the AMA put out this cartoon.

Mon. 8/17/09 11:59am From: dc pat

I think the syphilis did something to Little Sally's eyes..

Mon. 8/17/09 12:00pm From: :)

thanks
