There were an unusually high number of hits on last Saturday's blog post for some reason. I can't tell whether I've suddenly gained a lot of fans of my work for University of Wisconsin student newspapers decades ago, or if conspiracy fabulists are still interested in Jade Helm.
Or perhaps there were a lot of wedding musicians searching for the music and lyrics to "Somewhere/There's A Place for Us."
I provide music at weddings from time to time, and I once had to accompany a singer on "Somewhere" and some popular song from the 1960's (I forget which — "Wedding Song/There Is Love" or something like that), and my mother had happened to give me a book of wedding tunes which she had found at a resale shop or rummage sale.
The two songs needed for this wedding — and only those two songs — had been torn out of the book.
Well, anyway.
This week's cartoon is a strictly visual one, and I don't see a corner of the cartoon I can clip here without giving the whole idea away. So, since I wasn't inspired by most of the Memorial Day cartoons I found in 1925 to come up with a Graphical History Tour post on the topic on Saturday, here's one that is worth bringing back, given the present regime's cuts to veterans' services.
