This Week's Produce & a Smile

We enjoyed this one from our cartoonist friend Ron Coleman, and thought you might enjoy a smile! (Reprinted with his permission.)

Ron sold his first cartoon while in the eighth grade and has appeared in hundreds of publications since that time. Cartooning has been a sideline activity for him since for years he worked in clerical positions in Hollywood for Paramount, 20th Century Fox, Orion and Walt Disney studios. He's retired at 77 and still cartooning.
