Lucille Ball would've been 100 today. Best known for playing characters named Lucy in
I Love Lucy (1951-1957),
The Lucy Show (1962-1968),
Here's Lucy (1968-1974) and
Life With Lucy (1986), Ball redefined comedy and raised the bar dramatically for women comediennes that only a few women have ever come close to reaching. Ball's last public appearance was as a presenter during the Academy Awards in March of 1989. She passed away one month later. Check out today's Google doodle which has several scenes from
I Love Lucy. And don't worry, if you miss it today just click "I'm Feeling Lucky" without typing anything into the search bar and it will take you to all previous Google doodles. Also, I posted
some Lucy comics over at
my site a few months back for "
Thursday Comics" so you can check those out too. Now, let's get on with the comics.
Free Range
I don't think this joke works unless it's in a comic strip because technically the larger, darker words you would be screaming and getting quieter whereas when you are reading an eye chart, you use your normal voice and the letters get smaller. I get what's going on, I just think the writer is really stretching it for a joke.
Shoe
I feel like a panel got chopped off somehow. Did Cosmo's brakes go out? Did Cosmo walk to the bar? How can his car travel between the tree tops? So many questions these two panels just don't answer.
Pluggers
Ha! Pluggers are uncultured philistines.
