Jump an' Throstle with Joy

This is another Easter Sunday strip that has avoided being posted until now. It's silly and sweet. I do believe that Lulu Red-Ride-An'-Hood is really Li'l Awry who played a big part in the dailies around this time of 1965 —wow— fifty years ago!

Ground Zero

Albert takes a beautifully executed dive from ground zero.

SPLASH

Even a simple splash has Kelly written all over it.

So Shirty and Shove

I would like to think that Miz Beaver had finally found her feller, but inter-species relationships are difficult to maintain. I love the composition of this panel with its half circle aura and the obtuse poetry, seen (heard) here out of context.

Homey Couple

Yep, these two look like they could be a nice homey couple.

Attention from Menfolk

Miz Beaver doesn't get a lot of (good) attention from menfolk, so when Ripe-Dan Winkle offers a valentine, she ignores his ripe 200 year old odor and plies comfort to him.

A Charming Old Guy

Another of Kelly's multitudinous characters, Ripe-Dan Winkle charms his way into Miz Beaver's good graces. Really, a charming OLD guy.
