Sometimes a hose is just a hose.
We’ll hang Jeff Davis from a sour apple tree. (X3)
As we go marching on!
What I was gonna post. Entertaining stuff.
“His soul is marching on”
His hose was left on
Can anyone work on that?
A college buddy of mine and I used to do DFCs all the time with a pen and a bottle of white-out. This was back in 1983 or so. I was surprised years later to find out that people were doing this on the Internet. I guess there really are no original ideas.
My folks didn’t go to many movies, and I had t explain a comic to them, from the strip “Born Loser” In it a guy is in a restaurant and the waiter says their evening special is fava beans, liver, and chianti. He books it out of there. My folks didn’t get the joke.
My impression was it was referring to the guy who raced a steam shovel to dig a hole through a mountain for the railroad. He beat it using just his hammer. This would be him later in life with a delicate little hammer doing detail work.
Don’t remember his name but assumed it was John Brown based on the comic.
Made me giggle inside
That’s John Henry. He was a Steel Drivin’ Man.
Not to be confused with Big Bad John, who worked in the mines and died saving people from a cave in.
Not also to be confused with John Henry Irons, who was Steel(man). 
And don’t mess around with Jim.
Or bad, bad Leroy Brown.
I was writing dirty captions for pictures in the Sears catalog way back in seventh grade. It was great fun! 
Not to mention the time he drew a bird in a diner, sitting down to a breakfast of scrambled babies.
Turnabout is fair play!
Please tell me you still have one of those that you can share with us now.
Yuck. Reminds of the SNL skit ‘Fluckers’. I think it was Dan who offered, “Mangled Baby Ducks”.
They were mostly scatological in nature. Sadly, all of the catalogs we had when I was in junior high ceased to exist long ago. 
And “Solidarity Forever”
Somehow I did remember it right, it was none other than Ernie Bushmiller, the creator of Nancy, the one who made that comic. 
I am eternally grateful!
