Let me introduce myself.I am part of the Funnies Extra! publication that

you love so dearly. The “Publisher Guy” is my husband of 16 years. I am a mother, Facebook user, gas buyer, shopper for good deals, and educator of my two teens, as well as the advertising sales manager for this monthly paper.

My name is Quimby. Heather Quimby.

My job of providing an excel-lent advertising opportunity for busi-nesses is not my only effort. On the fi rst Wednesday of each month, “The Publisher Guy” and I head out early to deliver your favorite source of en-tertainment. This requires a packed lunch, a whole travel mug of coffee, a doughnut from the Willow Bake Shop-pe, and enough fuel to cover 167 miles. A knowledge of the one-way streets of Rockland is helpful and more time ef-fi cient, also.

I enjoy my work for a few reasons. Being a former hairdresser has me trained to like talking with just about anyone. I

like socializing, checking out the businesses, try-ing out a new sandwich shop, fi nding a sale, get-

ting lost on the back roads...well, not that one.

Another fun thing about this job and being on the road are the responses people give to seeing the Funnies Extra! magnets on my car. People have literally yelled to me, “I love Funnies Extra!” while I drive by!

I like being liked.I also like the business meet-

ings I now have to have with my coworker, Chris Quimby. We do our best thinking at Ralph’s Cafe in Brooks. Their stuffed french toast really get the creative juices fl owing!

I wonder about the future, though. Funnies Extra! has a good amount of followers now, and I wonder if I will ever fi gure out those back roads through Hope, Union, and Searsmont to get their

copies out to them!

HALF BAKED by RICK ELLISDistributed by Ink Bottle Syndicate, LLC

Sleep Deprivation is a chronic, sleep-restricted state. I’ve iden-tifi ed a condition that’s much worse—Sleep Depravation. I de-fi ne it as evil and corrupt behavior caused by long term sleep depriva-tion. The cause of Zombiehood is apparently unknown. Some experts (e.g. loonies) suspect that witch-craft is involved but my hypothesis is that Zombies suffer from Sleep Depravation. Think about it. How do you act when you aren’t sleep-ing well over long periods of time? Do you stumble around growling and just looking to tear someone’s head off? Do your personal groom-ing habits suffer?

My chronic sleep troubles be-gan when our daughter was born. She didn’t sleep through the night until she was sixteen. When she was a toddler, it would sometimes help if I rubbed her back but then I’d wake up in the middle of the night, wondering where the heck I was and lying on the fl oor with a Stainmaster facial. The imprint of Berber carpet on your face is un-mistakable.

My sleep troubles have only worsened over time. Each morn-ing my wife asks, “Honey, how’d you sleep?” My response is always just a matter of fi lling in the blanks of a three part Cause/Effect state-ment: “Well, when I went to bed, <cause>, so I <effect> and then just when I was fi nally drifting off to sleep <cause> so I <effect> which made me wide awake until just before dawn when <cause> and so I <effect>.

There are three categories of Causes: Kids, Animals, and Acts of God. The fi rst word of each Kid Cause begins with one of three names (changed to protect the in-nocent): Josh, Ashley, or Zach. First words for each Animal Cause come from a much longer but pre-defi ned list since we have fi ve pets (Ben, Blondie, Skitty, Zukko, Car-los) and live in a forest (fox, elk, skunk, raccoon, bear, mountain lion, magpie). For the Acts of God Cause the list is pretty short: Thun-der, Lightning, Rain, Hail, Snow, Wind.

There are just two categories

Depravedfor Effects: Dad Reacted Well or Dad Reacted Poorly. These are short, freeform phrases but fairly consistent in wording. Ex-amples under Dad Reacted Well include: “Whispered I love you” or “Watched TV until I got sleepy” or “Got out of bed and took care of it” or “Just said the heck with it and started my day early”. The re-sponses under Dad Reacted Poorly are generally more colorful: “Laid there for hours pondering the exis-tence of mankind” or “Hollered at (him, her, it)” or “Woke you up and told you to take care of it” or even “Opened the window and threw a boot at (him, her, or it)”.

This could be a really fun game but we’re talking real life here, not reality TV. Here’s a pretty mild, but typical version of a complet-ed Cause/Effect statement from a summer morning: “Well, when I went to bed, you stated snoring, so I whispered I love you and then just when I was fi nally drifting off to sleep Zukko puked up a hair-ball on the bed so I got out of bed and took care of it which made me wide awake until just before dawn when magpies started cawing at a fox and so I just said the heck with it and started my day early.”

Pretty tame right? Well, it could have just as easily been this: “Well, when I went to bed, it start-ed thundering like the Apocalypse so I laid there for hours pondering the existence of mankind and then just when I was fi nally drifting off to sleep Ashley’s date dropped her off late so I opened the window and threw a boot at him which made me wide awake until just before dawn when raccoons knocked the trash cans over and so I woke you up and told you to take care of it.

In any case, the outcome is the same. I wake up feeling like a Zombie, which makes me think: Instead of destroying a Zombie’s brain, maybe all we need to do is shoot him or her with a dart full of liquid Ambien and slip a pillow under their head as they fall. After a good ten or twelve hours of un-interrupted sleep I suspect they’d wake up and start doing things like helping little old ladies across the street or working in soup kitchens.

I know I would.

One of the goals of Funnies Extra is to provide content that is largely apolitical and noncontroversial. For one, I am thankful these days to do anything to keep myself pro-tected from all of the hateful, divi-sive rhetoric on every side of any issue.

Th at is not to say that reading comics keeps everyone safe from arguments and strong opinions.

For example, I am pro-Garfi eld. I have come out publicly and re-vealed this to peers and have re-ceived a mix of support and re-jection. I should clarify that my enjoyment of Garfi eld is not an endorsement of his behavior, for I believe strongly that all lasagna should be obtained legally and with consent of its owner. I believe care-givers should be treated with re-spect and do not appreciate his Mi-chael Vick-like treatment of Odie.

Th at being said, I do fi nd his ex-ploits rather amusing, and choose to keep myself abreast of his latest endeavors.

Th is has been displeasing to some, who conclude that my ap-

preciation of the popular feline is indication of my mental simplicity. I fi nd that rather unfortunate, as I can provide many other, more reli-able, evidences of such a condition.

On the other hand, I am a pas-sionate opponent of Mark Trail.

As far as I can tell, Mr. Trail is an admirable individual, but I am entertained very little by a mystery regarding who might be poaching gophers. I also have little interest in following a story that doesn’t begin and end in three frames.

You may say that I have a short attention span and should have more commitment to follow things through, but (I don’t feel like fi n-ishing this sentence).

I understand the popular ethic of keeping out of other people’s business and simply cleaving to my own convictions, however, it would do the world a lot of good if it was rid of the benign goings-on of Hi

and Lois.I have no personal problem with

most of the characters, although I do think having a name like Hi would cause one to enjoy an infl at-ed sense of self-importance while engaged in normal greetings with the general public.

GENERAL PUBLIC: Hi.HI (thinking to himself): Wow.

Th ey know me.

Th e son is a bit irresponsible, al-though not nearly as bad as the kid from Zits, who I’d love to person-ally volunteer to spank until I de-veloped carpal tunnel syndrome.

One of my biggest concerns for the family is the baby who talks to the sun. Th at is not to say that I have anything personally against the sun, which I’ve found generally to be warm and reliable. It’s just that I would like to hear the sun respond

once in awhile, maybe involve it-self in a heated debate, which isn’t much to ask of a heavenly body that is millions of degrees.

I’ve spoken so far only of com-ics that we do not carry in Funnies Extra. We do off er nationally popu-lar strips BC, Pickles, Tundra and Wizard of Id, but most of the oth-ers are the creative work of many artists from America and beyond, who wish to have an outlet for their craft s.

Th at’s part of the excitement of being involved with this publica-tion. In the process of creating a living for myself and providing harmless entertainment for the area, we are helping provide ex-posure for many cartoonists in the world, who one day might be able to make a living by working all day doing something they love while never having to change out of their pajamas.

Th ey may even be sporting night clothes with their own creations on them. Have you ever wondered if Stan Lee wore Spiderman pajamas?

Rest assured that we will contin-ue in our eff ort to provide this re-source as one that provokes smiles and laughter rather than ulcers and aneurysms.

Do you have a favorite comic here or one that you consistently don’t like? I’d love to get some feed-back. If you’d like to express your opinion, please shoot me a message at [email protected].

I always fi nd random things in my pockets at the end of the day: paper clips, gum wrappers, dry cleaning receipts and the ever-present lint. These drawings are what’s left in my head when the day is done: the random “pocket lint” of my brain.

Chuck Downs is a carbon-based form of cartoonist who lives in Florida with his wife and two children. By day, he is vice president of marketing for a company that clearly does not conduct very thorough background checks. By night, he fi ghts crime. Now that he is old-er, his experience only walks the gamut for fear of pulling a ham-string. He often “misuses” quota-tion marks, and likes to frequently split his infi nitives.
