Farmer Brown #1

by

Farmer Brown lived in the country with his wife Helen and a bunch of animals, including John, his donkey (so named because Farmer Brown couldn't afford a John Deere, so his donkey and an old wooden plow became his tractor).

One day Farmer Brown accidentally knocked over his wife's stone water fountain in the front yard. When she saw the broken pieces he yelled, "John kicked it over!"

She shook her head.

After Helen went back in the house John decided to actually kick something and knock it over, just as soon as Farmer Brown turned his back on him!

    This is going to be a stand-alone series whenever the mood strikes me. The idea seems like it would make a nice comic strip for the Sunday paper.

    Thanks, Neville and Verity. A new series always seems to spur my creativity. I'd been intermittently working on the next Jake Randolph story but I haven't written anything for it for the last month or two. I need to get back on it.

    Go Jake go! I think if you can just get Jake back in action, Christopher, that might stimulate me to move my harris and get writing properly again (especially Fedeltà!).

    Understood. I started back on it last night. When I get a little more done I should probably start posting it, as that is what usually gives me the kick in the keister I need to actually work on it every day.
