However the preparations proved inadequate. Tom the Younger paid little mind to warnings of danger hidden within the deal his father had struck. Soon the Ziggy-like character which mankind has always felt but had not the language to invoke, would be known to all by name. Once again, Ziggy was born.
![History
Ziggy, in nameless at his conception, has been visible in some form or another since the mid-1 960s. Greeting card writer Tom Wilson first drew a Ziggy-like character as an elevator operator offering political commentary in editorial cartoons, but no one would syndicate Ziggy eventually appeared in an American Greetings gift book, When You're Not Around (7968)[2] which caught the eye of Kathleen Andrews, a founder of the fledgling startup Universal Press Syndicate, which badly needed a popular comic to keep t afloat. deal was struck, the name was given, and Ziggy was born.[3] The strip began in 15 newspapers in June 1971,[4] and that number eventually grew to over 600 publications. A Sunday strip premiered on April 1, 1973.[5]
In 1987, after years of preparation, the strip was taken over by Tom Wilson's son, Tom Wilson ll.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2dsnpbdcgv67n62ztkxejaou/bafkreid2bee2dlldk6mo2vdtwhj67dbslkulizvxjuoncg3k5jrkkjrome)

My southern grandma, a bit on the coarse side of Bless Your Heart, was always working the garden. When some areas of the corn weren’t as tall as others, I’d ask why and she always respond with “Just like Dolly’s waistline, nothing grows in the shade.” RIP to both.
Absolutely losing it over this lady who appears to run a business of "lay on a massage bed as I stand over you with a horse nearby" DEEP EMOTIONAL THERAPY and advertises it with phrases like YOU CAN HIDE FROM A HUMAN. YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM A HORSE. AS PREY ANIMALS, HORSES READ TRUTH BEFORE WORDS.

I distilled what I was just saying into a post.
Lawyers, Guns and Money@lawgunsmoney.bsky.social · 2w agoSo Let’s Talk About Natalie Harp
Looks like the WH put out the bat signal in the influencer groupchat because hit dogs are hollerin'. Ossoff's "travel with Natalie" is causing a nuclear-level MAGA meltdown and a lot of inference is happening from just 3 words, so Trump's camp seems to be telling on him. Yikes.
NEW AD: 14 years ago today, Ken Paxton stole someone's $1,000 pen. Today, Ken Paxton’s pen victim is endorsing James Talarico.
I proudly endorse this message from my grandparents ❤️
This is absolutely WILD. Here's the dashboard video posted by @fritschner.bsky.social. Fast forward to about 1 minute. An ICE officer jumps out of a van and pulls a gun on this woman immediately before lying and claiming she "almost ran us over." *profanity warning if watching in public.
Aaron Fritschner@fritschner.bsky.social · 3w agoVideo of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.
Trump just released a statement warning that if Abdul El-Sayed wins the Michigan Senate race, “I will be, sadly, the last Republican President!
If the host of a popular but largely apolitical program is telling Democrats they need to talk about Republicans' cheating more often, Democrats need to talk about Republicans' cheating more often.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w agoTALARICO: What they're doing in TX is they're redrawing the lines in middle of the decade, which is unprecedented. It's like changing rules after halftime bc you're worried the other team is going to win. It's cheating CHARLAMAGNE: More politicians should say that T: That they're cheating? C: Yes
