Boy am i steamed at old bil keane. He sent me a check for what he owed me from that shellacking what he had took from when we played poker and he was the big loser. Took him long enough, but he did send it. And now it has bounced! Boy, there is nothing lower than a fellow what welches on a poker debt. well, no that is not entirely true, there are plenty of things lower than that. but it’s pretty low just the same.

i just cannot believe that a bigshot celebrity like him wld write someone like me a bad check. i know he is out there in sunny arizona having himself a good laugh on putting one over on frank dodge, but i will tell you what: i am going to cloud up and rain all over his parade. Or circus. either one.

i guess am just going to have to call him up is what i am going to have to do. I will say, "Bil Keane? Frank Dodge here."

That is what i am going to do and i will get this whole mess straightened out and i will also get his opinion on Dilbert, which i do not understand at all.

But right now i am too busy to call him b/c i and jake are going to test this underground electrical fence we just dug up from those summer people what live up the hill a ways. they have that golden retreiver what runs around and around, barking all summer long. and they have that invisible fence what keeps that dog all penned up. Used to have it, anyway.

That is the problem w/ welchers. When you have to unwelch them, you always got more important things to do.
