Tumbling Tumbleweeds

166. 137 T. K. RYAN retired and brought Tumbleweeds to a conclusion (after a 42-year run) on December 30, 2007.

42 years, and that was five years ago? Whew. I remember when it began. It harked to F Troop, and was refreshing and funny until the gags started cycling formulaicly. I think that was week #2, the formula Davis later employed with such success. /snark

Uncle Josh made me look up clowder.

Messed up the HTML on that message, leading to this follow-up:

166. Uh, boy, did I mess up that post (166). :[

And then this one:

221. And re #166, of course I meant Uncle Umpy not Josh. SHEESH!

And then this one:

222.
And by #66 I meant #166. Crawling back into lurking bag and crying myself to sleep 'til the next century.

It's Uncle Lumpy, but I gave up there.
