THE NY POST:
Rhymes With Orange is finally in the big apple! It's running in the NY Post
Monday through Saturday. (Though not on the Post web site.) Please pass it
along to your city slicker friends, and if they find like it, tell them to
let the NY Post know!

THE VACATION STRIPS:
Last month, my partner and I travelled to the island of Roatan, Honduras to
see where her mother grew up and meet her mother's side of the family. In
order to have a real break, I asked my talented friend Margaret Shulock to
do a week's worth of strips for me. The strips will be running from July
21-27, and her bio will be on the RWO web site under New News.

LATE NIGHT NAKED RABBIT BAGGING:

Always willing to lend a hand in the grocery shopping, our orange cat
brought in a live rabbit and dropped it on our bed at 11:30 p.m. last week
while we were going to sleep. Chaos ensued as we chased the rabbit (no
longer playing dead but now moving at full bunny velocity around the
perimeter of the room) and trapped it under a towel. It was released,
unscathed, into the back yard.

WRAP UP

If you have friends whose e-mails have changed (who doesn't, really?), and
who think would enjoy this newsletter, please pass it onto them!

Next newsletter, I'll tell you about the writing workshop with cartoonist
superstar Lynda Barry and my partner's guest appearance in the on-line strip
Janes World.

Now go back outside and play.
