Greetings once more from Greenwich Village. As chance would have it, while cleaning up after the holidays, I found a folder marked “Funny Cartoons” stuffed under the cushions of my couch. I was skeptical, but after leafing through them I found that quite a few pretty funny at that.
Thanks to the miracle of digital technology beyond my understanding, here are some of my favorites from Funny Cartoons.
