Hey, Stanley’s mom is just trying to prepare him for when those lunch bags are empty. Everyone will be lining up to be Stan’s friend when those stomachs begin rumbling.
Poor Stanley. He’s oblivious to what awaits him, but who knows? Maybe there’ll be pond by the outfield. Very funny, Carl. I like how it’s seasonal, just in time for summer.
I always liked the kids that didn’t quite fit in! I also wanted to tell you that I had to “unfollow” and the “follow” you again…I don’t know what’s up with WP, but you and a few others just weren’t appearing in my reader. Just in case you begin to miss a few people…thought I’d let you know! I was sorry to miss you yesterday! Debra

Sounds fishy to me. Actually, Carl, when I saw the word “catch,” I first thought of fishing. Thanks for an early-morning smile.

The kid will play for the Miami Marlins, of course.

Don’t they need a hobby in the off time?

Will you be on the bus ? With bait or bat ?

I’m with Stanley; rather go fishin’ than play ball.

Can you catch a home run ? And what about the roar of the crowd rounding third ?

Stanley looks like the majority of my children. It often drove my late husband berserk…being as he pitched for the Twins…

Aw… I sang the anthem at a Twins game years ago. Love the Twins, mainly because of their hometown.

Some say they should change the name to the snowmen

I think you are right about the name, Carl. And no, not Killebrew. He was not a pitcher.

Poor Stanley. He looks happy now, but wait til all those other campers start needling him!

They may “cast” him out of camp.

He could very well be the genius in the bunch. They tend to think and act differently from the crowd.

Yeah, but it is a “fly rod” and she sent along a can of corn, just in case.

Wonder what his mom is going to say?

They’ll have to convince her to send him to fishing camp.

Well, she works down at the salmon cannery.

Fourth July cartoon to come is one of my favs. You remind me I must get new ideas for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas and should start thinking,

If you think that’s bad, imagine Stanley’s dad fishing with a baseball bat

And using a low curve ball for bait.

Maybe he’s just very uncoordinated at ball hitting sports so fishing is more his thing.
