A few years ago I saw a guy, probably about 40, standing outside a service station smoking a pipe. It looked so weird - you just don't see pipe smokers anymore, do you?

it says Judge Judy at the bottom, but this plainly is not she - more likely it was a 'plaintiff' on said show.

Now I've coloured it, I'm aware of that horse's resemblance to Scooby Doo.
I met Scooby once - well, sort of. It was in New York - there used to be this amazing WB store on 5th Avenue - I was on holiday there at Christmas in 1998. Scoobs had obviously fallen on hard times and was playing Santa on the third floor. Sad. We didn't speak - just nodded. I'm really glad he's doing ok these days.
