Enough of the Fire Crackers!

I'll be honest, I love the illegal fire crackers, pop bottle rockets and who can say no to a good old fashioned cherry bomb. They are great fun for the 4th of July, but what drives me crazy is the days following the 4th. The poor dog is a nervous wreck and I have work in the morning.
Thanks for reading.

BTW: Thanks Al for not completely crinkling up and throwing away the original. :)

Happy 4th of July Longmont!

OK, I need your help. If you are reading these cartoons in the Times-Call in Longmont and appreciate the focus on the local issues, PLEASE let the editor know. John Vahlenkamp 303-684-5239, or Call the TC Line 720-494-5485. You can even send an email to opinion@times-call.com or express your opinion on a Time-Call Survey. http://www.lehmanfyi.com/timescall/survey/. Bottom line is... I enjoy doing cartoons for Longmont and northern Colorado and would love to continue to do so. Thanks for your help,

We as a city, state and nation need to keep our eyes on the big picture. Sure the economy has tanked, were in a endless war, and gas prices are out of control, but we are America! This is the best country in the world. We as a nation can solve all of those problems and more. We need to come together and work towards solving some of our own problems. Give thanks to our country on this day, her birthday.
