Root Beers #155: Summer Short Shorts

In this week's comic of mirth not misery, there was to be a celebration of the pre-founding of Amnesty International.
But then, the 2016 Isle of Man Tourist Trophy season begins today, and the first part were scrambled. Honestly, why do documentaries has to change the subject?
Also, bowties could be smart in the future. Just saying.

Newsflush 25/05/2016

Hello, everyone. Me again.
As everyone knows, this is turning out to be a poor year, so far. The main reason is that some of the deaths that affected the world. Recently, Alan Young (Mister Ed, DuckTales) is gone and so is Burt Kuowk (The Pink Panther series), as well. Also, there are other things, like the attacks in Brussels and the junior doctors' strike, as well. But, there are positive things this year. Recently, the Co-operative Group bought back their original cloverleaf logo from 1968 and it's on not only the branded food and drinks but also the bags for life, receipts, and promotional stuff, as well.
Anyway, back to me. I have recently finished a Critical Discourse essay, concerning Ludwig Bemelmans and his Madeline book series, and prepared a Dissertation proposal, concern the status of the funny animal from classic cartoons and comics to today's graphic novels and webcomics.
Also, I'm planning a new series of Root Beers comics, starting on 17th September 2016, and I'm also planning a Root Beers Summer Special from 1st - 17th August 2016 (Originally, it would be on during the Olympics, but changed the date in order for a holiday to happen.).
Anyway, mustn't grumble so long. I have got this week's Midweek Root Beers to sort out.
Hoping you don't get affected by this year,
Al Welch

Root Beers #154: Anthrometamorphosis

First off, must I point off, to hear such sad news concerning Alan Young, known to fans of Mister Ed and Disney's DuckTales. He will be missed.

Next up, the main bit which features Maxtara (Maxtaro) in a very surreal situation. It's strange, I know. (God, I missed furry Maxtara...)


And finally, a quite a comeback from Miss Jones and Gothic Kitt from The Goodieski (A quite obscure group, on which Grahame Garden and Bill Oddie didn't write, not even with Tim Brooke-Taylor's biro), discussing whether Australia made it to Eurovision, without checking the news of 17th November 2015. Oh, they are silly...
