I hope you'll check out Cherdo on the Flipside today. I love Cherdo's drawings, and today's is the best ever. It's even better than when she drew me as a paper bag puppet wearing a bathing cap--one of those horrible bathing caps with the plastic flowers that stick out.
Today's drawing includes Franklin, and Cherdo captures him perfectly. He has a little grin on his face. I think it's because he's next to Cherdo's poodle Coco.
If you don't follow Cherdo yet, you should. Trust me. I don't know why you should, but trust me. Cherdo is a sweetheart and very funny. *I just realized this reads as if I don't know why you should trust me about following Cherdo. The reasons to follow Cherdo are many. I meant you have no reason to pay attention to me, except when I tell you to follow her. And when I tell you to do some other stuff, like send me money.
I have her phone number. Sometimes I call and leave a message in song on her voice mail. Songs have included "My Cherdo amour, lovely as a summer's day" and "The moment I wake up before I put on my make-up, I say a little prayer for Cherdo."
Cherdo hasn't even reported me to the police!
Infinities of love,
Janie Junebug
I saw the picture this morning and Cherdo's story of her dog and the traumatic visit to the beauty shop. My dogs go on Wednesday next. They will also be wild and then fall dead asleep.
ReplyDeleteFranklin doesn't like going to the groomer, but he remains quite calm. He's fine when he comes home.
DeleteYou sound perfectly stalkerific! (And I loved Cherdo's rendition of Franklin.)
ReplyDeleteStalking my ex-husband certainly wouldn't be fun.
DeleteJust pit stopped over.
ReplyDeleteDoes that mean you need to pee? When we were driving we said we needed to make a pit stop if we had to pee.
DeleteAww, that is a cute picture.
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree, everyone should follow Cherdo. Funny lady.
Let's crown her the Queen of Comedy.
DeleteWhat a great drawing of your sweet baboo !
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip
He is my sweet baboo. He's so kissable.
DeleteI'm on my way to check out her blog.
ReplyDeleteWell, it's about time.
DeleteThanks so much for the pat on the back, Ms. Janie - you know I love ya. You'll see Franklin again in a cartoon, I just have to decide what he might get into.
ReplyDeleteFranklin? Get into something? His behavior is perfect.
DeleteGive it time, she'll cave ;)
ReplyDeleteYou mean she'll report me for my messages in song?
DeleteHi Janie - love Cherdo's drawing of Franklin .. fun ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteIt tickles my fancy.
DeleteI'm so glad that you have not been reported to the authorities............................yet.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can get a heads up when the police are on their way so you can take photos of THE ARREST OF THE QUEEN OF GRAMMAR.
DeleteIt would be my honor.
DeleteI'm sure you can sell a photo of my arrest for a great deal of money.
DeleteI'm headed over there now- I want to see you in the flowered cap, too!
ReplyDeleteThe flowered cap was a while back. I don't know if seeing it is a good idea. You might be blinded.
DeleteCherdo is a fun blogger. I always enjoy her posts.
ReplyDeleteShe's adorable--just like you, but a little older like me.
DeleteMy comments seem to be not posting ?
ReplyDeleteFranklin looks very regal and quite handsome.
cheers, parsnip
Your comments don't show up right away because I've enabled comment moderation. I have to read your comment and approve it before it can be seen. I got burned, and I learned.
DeleteVery cute picture of Franklin, but I have to confess, I scrolled down to her tips on things to do with rubber bands. It's not often that I find tips I didn't already know, but she managed to find a few. :)
ReplyDeleteI rarely know tips. I'm like a baby. The world is new to me.
DeleteWait, we're supposed to pray for Cherdo!? OMG, is something wrong???? I'm going there right now!!!!
ReplyDeletePray for everyone, Penwusser. No, wait. I'm not sure your prayers will go to the right place.
DeleteEverything's cool over there. Except there's a lot of 'nude' talk.
DeleteI trusted and I did. Funny and entertaining. :)
ReplyDeleteCherdo is very enjoyable. I'm glad to see you around again.
DeleteYou're so lucky - maybe she knows your voice!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she does.
DeleteI don't read cartoons but you got me to go lookie. You gave me the idea to leave messages in song LOL!
ReplyDeleteI love to sing. With voice mail I have a captive audience.
DeleteThanks for the referral. I'm off to the flipside.
ReplyDeleteKeep a smile, JJ.
Cherdo is great. My mouth doesn't smile, but my brain does.
DeleteCherdo's awesome!!! My dog sings, as well...when we sing Happy Birthday to You into the phone, she joins in.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was growing up we had a poodle who sang when I played the piano.
DeleteCherdo fan here. And Franklin fan. Needless to say, I was very pleased by that drawing.
ReplyDeleteI wish I got voice mails from people that weren't debt collectors (looking for the wrong people, of course).
Email your phone number to me. I'll call and sing to you. The first year or so that I had my phone, I received numerous nasty phone calls for someone named Lisa. Lisa owed money all over the place, and she received collect calls from someone in jail. I did a little threatening with the debt collectors. They stopped calling me. Of course, I rejected the collect calls. Poor guys in prison, thinking Lisa abandoned them.
DeleteFranklin!!!!!
ReplyDeletefilante!!!!!!!
