Mite Be Funny #263 – Freedom for Ukraine!

I realize that some of you may not be able to or may not have the desire to translate. Right mite ends with, “Freedom!” Left mite replies by saying, “Mite Be Patriotic,” although it can also be translated as “Tick Be Patriotic,” which doesn’t work quite as well. The bottom line is that we support Ukraine as they are invaded by Putin’s army.

If you wish to donate to relief efforts, please do. I’m as much of a pacifist as anyone, but I want to arm the Ukrainian military. That’s what Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has requested – money for armaments. Why the USA has not flooded Ukraine with weapons is beyond me. But here’s how you can donate directly to the Ukrainian military through the National Bank of Ukraine.

Bank transfers are easy. Just visit with your banker and bring the details from the above link. Freedom for Ukraine!

Mite Be Funny #262 – The Tepid Conclusion of The Laundry Chronicles

From my last post, you may have gotten the idea that I would be writing more about interesting topics which would logically not include mite-based cartoons. Well, I workshopped the concept, and I found that my focus group was fascinated by mite-based adventures. I will clarify that my focus group consisted of my two dogs and involved choosing treats to define their blog preferences. But who am I to deny science?

Anyhoo, when last we left this stirring adventure that has generated some film interest, our impavid (go ahead, look it up, it’s a real word) mites were facing starvation trapped in a linen closet. Read on to discover the lackluster conclusion to the Mite Be Funny Laundry Chronicles.

Is a Mite Be Funny Movie Coming?

I am pleased to announce the good news that there is STRONG interest in turning the Mite Be Funny Laundry Chronicles into an animated short subject film. The bad news is the interest comes only from me, and I am much too lazy to do anything about it.

My Holiday Accomplishments

The list of all that I accomplished over the holidays is too long to write about, so that’s a bit of luck for you readers. But I can still waste your time giving you some selected highlights. I already wrote about spending some quality time with our dogs. But wait, there’s more!

First thing I did was try not to be such a dick when I was out shopping and running errands. I was inspired by this older pic of Alice Cooper serving others that resurfaced and made the rounds on Twitter recently.

I wasn’t as ambitious as Mr. Cooper, but I tried to hold doors for others and keep a smile on my face. When cars cut me off, I made sure to wave at the drivers with all the fingers on my hand and not just the middle one. I always wonder what the world would be like if each person in the world did those little things every day for a whole year.

I also stayed healthy. I told you about my COVID test. We heard of a friend of the family who got very sick with COVID but is recovering. We also heard of some folks who are friends of friends who have passed away. They predict the omicron variant infection rate in Chicagoland will peak by the end of January. Looks like no indoor public activities for a while still. See you outside in spring!

Professionally, the news I received just before the holidays was bad, and I took some time over the holidays to process it and feel comfortable about my future.
