Cartoon of a guy staring at a huge Easter hat. The caption says, “Mike found Mrs. Healey’s Easter had hypnotizing.”
I like it when churches still celebrate Easter and spring with fashions. There’s nothing like a big, Easter hat to keep an individual entertained for hours. With the right hat, a youngster can imagine he is hacking his way through the Amazon.
A hat with the right bouquet can make you swear you see Peter Cottontail ready to hop right out of that arrangement!
Cartoon of two birds staring at an Easter egg. One says, “Just when the story couldn’t get any weirder, they claim an Easter bunny brought it.”
One of my most memorable Easter memories was the day we found the missing Easter egg. The Easter that spring was a wet one. Mom decided we would have the Easter egg hunt in the house. She carefully hid her real, hard-boiled Easter eggs around the house. I was too old for the search, so I watched my little sisters scurry all over the house in search of the prizes.
About six months later, it was another cold, wet day. I was assigned the task to retrieve our collie dog from behind the couch so she could take care of outdoor business. As I reached back to retrieve the reluctant pooch, I felt something cold, yet hard. At first, I was relieved it wasn’t the open snout of our dog. Then I felt queasy. I found the last Easter egg.
Too bad I didn’t keep my mouth shut. It would have come in quite handy for the upcoming Halloween season.

I drew this for the CHOGnews e-newsletter.
Cartoon of the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus. The Easter Bunny says, “I had a surplus last year. Could you make a few Easter eggs into stocking stuffers?”
I used to wonder if the holiday characters had formed alliances. This would have been a good thing if I didn’t get what I wanted for Christmas, and the Easter bunny would take over Santa’s list in the spring.
Alas, neither Santa Claus nor the Easter Bunny ever brought me that nuclear powered jet pack. How was I supposed to rocket around Sheridan Indiana without a jet pack? I was doomed to take the school bus just like everyone else.
