Bernie Ernie
I have an aunt Bernie… she has an infectious laugh. She is perpetually full of laughter! I grew up referring to her as Aunt Bernie Wernie… She lovingly called me Bridgett the midget. I blame her for my small stature (I’m fun-sized, dang it!) Anyhoo, My gram named all her kids after saints… Bernadette of Lourdes is Bernie Wernie’s saint. So Sister Bernie Hot Wheels (Randie’s nickname for Ryan’s bug) makes total sense! Interesting side note… Bernie Wernie loved playing with Hot Wheels when she was a kid… when I made up Ryan’s bug’s name… I had forgotten this about my aunt.
So Sister Bernie’s eyes are on the sides, eh?
Huh?
Dr. Johnny Fever approves of panel 4.
Ha! WKRP… Booger-booger-booger-booger.
Brig,
Re: Sister Bernie’s eyes.
Check out the bottom right of the quarter window.
ahhhhh…. thanks, Joe… I see it now.
You know the saying, “Out of child’s mouths come pearls of wisdom”….
…..OK, the kids aren’t talking, but still……..”BoogeR.” smile
So is that a reference to the bug’s color and shape, or perhaps it’s working condition?
Speaking of “mouths of children,” there was something on the web today about a new interactive kid’s toy….if you can stomach it….
