Because YOU demanded it! Okay, perhaps that’s stretching the truth a bit, but I’m sure someone out there has been wanting to see more of these, right? I’ve been meaning to get some more Zimmie posted in the archive ever since J.R. Gonzales wrote his wonderful “An owl named Zimmie” for the Bayou City History blog a couple years ago. But let’s not focus on how long it takes me to accomplish things around here and let’s delight to the wit and wisdom of those lovable owls: Zimmie and his girlfriend Lizzie. Check out our newest selections where you’ll find Zimmie gabbing about the weather. His feelings on art. And politics. He shares some sensible thoughts on newspapers. And he wouldn’t be Zimmie if he didn’t wax philosophic from time to time. When Lizzie isn’t busy setting him up, she’s trying to shoehorn her religious agenda into the tiny panel. Whatever the topic, be sure these two lovebirds will do their best to provide something to consider as you go about your day.

Triplets seem to be a rich comic medium, and Barnacle Press has a spotlight on Freddie, Eddie and Teddie — the “merry mischief makers” of Hy Leonard’s The Triplet Boys!

This strip was produced in 1905 and the characters have a unique look not found in any other comics.

Barnacle Press thinks they resemble The Muppets — who were “born” fifty years later!

As usual, the folks at BarnaclePress have struck comic gold.

Enjoy!

Lead Guitar Secrets ReviewChris at The Guitar Lesson Review Blog has posted a review of Dan Denley’s Lead Guitar Secrets course.
He gives it a strong recommendation — and he has tried it out.
I’d give a strong recommendation that you visit his site and read the full review and see if this course on soloing is for you.

Our Favorite Note Taking Nerd has set himself a 90-Day-Challenge for self-improvement, the goal of which is to make him a better copywriter, lover, citizen, whatever.

Lewis LaLanne determined to exercise each day, study copywriting and marketing material, drinking lots of water and practicing his typing.

I’d exercised for the day, I’d studied some kind of marketing/copywriting material, I’d spent 30 minutes on Typing Master honing my typing skills, I’d downed 75 ounces of water… and then I forgot to do some release technique homework.

He’s gone through over half of his predetermined program.

Lewis will tell you all about it (beware, some of the language is adult and NSFW) at his terrific site MyNotetakingNerd.

He’s got a lot of valuable FREE material on his site and I strongly urge you to sign up for his mailing list if you are a serious marketer.

BarnaclePress is where I love to go and check out classic newspaper comic strips.

Their newest feature brings us a favorite from 1903 — William F. Marriner’s “fun-loving trio:” Tweedledum, Twedleedee and the Other Triplet.

This website is a treasure trove of great old comics, and I’m sure you will spend hours sifting through the riches, as I have.

Make BarnaclePress a regular stop on your daily web browsing.
