Okay, getting a bit of a late start this year…

The New Jersey walkathon takes place April 29. but we’re all going to be in Chicago that weekend. When first I asked, I was told the Chicago walk was scheduled for mid-May. This was disheartening, since we’ve been doing this very year, rain or shine — occasionally rain — since 1993, and it would take until just short of my 87th birthday to complete another 25-year run.

But I re-checked yesterday, and sure enough the Chicago walk is going to be April 29 after all. So twenty-five years after my son and I started doing this together (at his suggestion), we’re going to show Chicago how walkathons are walked (and then head over to Wrigley Field).

For the past 14 years, you guys have been my partners in this as well, always (collectively) my biggest sponsors. And every single year you’ve donated more than the year before, which is extraordinary. I know that’s a tough goal this year because a) late start, b) people are still re-finding the site after January’s disaster, and c) last year’s $1312 was really a lot of money. So whatever we raise, even if it’s not $1313, will be great.

($1313 would just be greater, is all…)

A Reminder and a Semi-Secret

First, please send everything — both comics, and comments intended only for me — to this address:

submit

If you use any other address, I might or might not ever see it.

Also: The complete left sidebar still does exist in this new template: Look to the left, where the sidebar just says COMICS I DON’T UNDERSTAND followed by “Home” and “Your Random Comments.” Above COMICS I DON’T UNDERSTAND, to the right of the three horizontal lines, is an icon that looks like a folder. Click that, and the full left sidebar will appear.

I know. This is counter-intuitive at best and borderline insane at worst. Presumably, somebody thought this was a good idea.

Many of you have already figured this out, but understandably many have not.

The Salina Stockade [OT]

Salina-Stockade-300x300

I just wanted to share with y’all what might possibly be the most hideous team logo in baseball history.

Perhaps not coincidentally, this is also one of the worst teams in the history of professional baseball and has actually been dropped from their league, and their entire 2018 system will consist of a couple dozen road games 2000 miles from their home city, which is theoretical anyway because they don’t have a stadium.
