156 – Joe’s Will Beat Any Offer

March 30, 2009

I suspect we probably all want to buy at the lowest price but how many times have you decided to buy gas on this side of the street even though it sold for 2¢ cheaper on that side. Or, have you gone to that store because the parking lot at this store was too crowded — even though that store is known as the less expensive place.

I once went to a large discount department store at 5:45 AM to buy an advertised special (a TV set) for $220. I got the last one! Lucky me!! A year later, the same model set was sold for $90. Oh well.

joes-beat-any-priceYour continued interest is of great importance to me. I am very glad you take your time to visit and hope you find the cartoons interesting, even humorous. More will come.

155 – Home Fighter Jet Security

March 27, 2009

Robberies do happen. My home was a guest to a robber once. A television and a schefflera house plant were taken. The broken window was repaired and a week later, my house was once again host to a robber and once again, this time, my new television and my new schefflera were taken. I tell you this because it appears to me that a television and a schefflera, in combination, appear prized targets.

Thank you for visiting. Some are more OK than others. I think this is one of them.

154 – Special, Special, Special

March 19, 2009

We see special offers all the time. So ubiquitous are some of the specials that they’re offered daily! This, of course, makes “Special Offers” into “Common Offers” which, in turn, allows advertisers to advertise “This is NOT a Special Offer” which implies that the common, every day, ordinary, plane Jane, garden variety offer currently being offered is, well… pretty special!

This space (at the bottom of the Naïve ad) is used to say Thank You for taking time to visit this site. So, Thank You. Of course, you are invited back.

Your comments are especially appreciated. These are a lot of fun to do but the comments you make are what help to motivate the posts. So, comment… please. I can take it. I’m an adult… age-wise that is.

153 – We Need Change!

March 9, 2009

When I was a pup, just out of college and pretty much broke, I gave a friend of mine $100 in Susan B. Anthony coins for his wedding. I put it in a small box and it looked like… well, it looked like $25 in quarters. The Susan B’s were silver (not gold in color like the newer $1.00 coins). So, I did the only thing I could do. I gave him what I had left… the wish for much happiness.

weneedchange1Thanks for visiting! Do leave a comment. It’s a green thing to do and a good thing to do too. I think it’s green. It is green, isn’t it? Maybe a little?

152 – Cash For Cash

March 1, 2009

Boy do I wish I had a lot of money! I could spend it on frivolous items like… like food or a package of socks. I have a feeling I’m not alone either. In fact, I know that nearly everyone wants more money… my friend Tim, my neighbors, car companies, bankers. Well, nothing ever stays the same. Whatever is here and now will be different later. My only hope is that things will be “better” different and not “worse” different.

cash-for-cashPlease tell your friends about this site. It will make me happy. It might make them happy and if it does, they will tell their friends and those friends will be happy and they, in turn, will tell their friends. Things could actually get out of hand and fourth or fifth tier friends would be telling first tier friends and the first tier people would wind up having to be doubly happy. I don’t even know if doctors have yet found a cure for double happiness. Thanks for visiting and be careful if you get an email suggesting this site. I want you to stay healthy.
