Why are we showing this sign? Because some folks in Middletown, Ohio need to stop smoking so much. When you read below you’ll see what we mean.

Well, sure, why not build what Fox19 news calls a “$1.3 billion riverfront destination entertainment district and theme park called ‘Hollywoodland’” and then wait for the billions of $$$ the tourists are going to bring into a town in Bumfuck?

A TVWriter™ visitor who wants to remain anonymous (what’s the matter, bud, embarrassed to have this  sweet little habit?) sent me these two comic strips this morning but didn’t tell me where they got them.
