So Hot! Stickman Worries.

 The weather has been scorching hot here in Ohio. Never thought about the problems this might bring a stickman.

Happy 4th of July

Stickman Not Looking Good

The stickman depends on a higher power.

 

Old Superstition Comes True

 Not sure how many will remember, or even know, what this is about. As kids, we would walk on a sidewalk and say, "Step on a crack, break your mothers back."

Apparently, this superstition dates back to 1905. I had no idea. 

By the way, that was before my time. 😅

Fritzi Ritz

 

A look back to the old days of comics. You might recognize Fritzi Ritz as Nancy's aunt. She started as her own comic in 1922 and was known as what was called a flapper in the beginning. 

She was beautiful, wore short skirts and was a little prone to ignoring rules. She met Sluggo and hated him at first, but they later became good friends. I always thought they were dating but I'm not sure. I mean he was definitely not in her league (uh oh, am I in trouble?) C'mon, don't tell me you're not thinking the same thing.

She became a secondary character soon after her niece, Nancy, was introduced in 1933. Nancy was introduced to the comic and was just supposed to be there a short time, but her character caught on. Nancy would definitely be considered a brat, but she was funny, and I can remember reading and enjoying her comics.

Stickman Fire Dilemma

The stickman is facing quite a dilemma. It doesn't seem to be bothering the kids, though.  

The question is will he or won't he succumb to the temptation of a roasted hotdog?
