This is funny because we have all been there. I have to admit that when I first came up with the joke I was thinking of Taco Bell, because we have all had that happen. But in the end I thought it was better to say all fast food.

Today is the last day of November, and the last Shoofly cartoon for the week. I hope you all brought your smiles, if not you can always borrow one off the rack, just make sure to clean it first as you never know where those things have been.

Lets get to a quick letter before I start with my daily routine of talking everyone to death.

Dear DVid,

I saw that some one was talking bad about your work 

and wanted to write to let you know that I like it 

and am a fan. I liked the way you handled it by the way, 

not flying off the handle and insulting him, but simply 

putting him in his place.

-Sarah

Well Sarah, thank you very much for being a fan, it is nice to know that I am starting to build a fan base. I was unsure as to if I would ever find anyone out there would liked my work, but it seems I do not have to worry any longer. I am glad you liked the way I handled the guy who hated me, I thought it was best to be as polite as I could, but still pointing out the flaws in his logic of writing to me. In case anyone is wondering, I posted his nasty letter because I don't want people to think I am just putting up the ones that love me, or taking out the negative comments. Plus it is not so bad for people to hate you, as Todd McFarlane once said, "the worst thing they can do is ignore you."

Well gang I don't want to keep you here all day, so I am going to touch on a few things really quick then let you all go on with your day. First off I want to remind everyone that tomorrow will start the new schedule of seven days a week. So make sure to come back for a brand new Not @ All cartoon. Also Sunday I have something for you all as well that I hope you will come back to check out.

Ok now I guess we should call it a day. Until tomorrow, take care.

Well we have made it to the middle of week folks. I hope your week is blowing by as fast as mine is, I can not believe we are almost done with this week, this month, and very soon, this year. I don't know about any of you, but I am keeping my fingers crossed that the Mayan calender was all just a big mistake and we will get to see 2013. Well enough with that, lets get on with the whole reason you are here ...... Shoofly!

Now before a I answer a fan letter, I wanted to bring something up. I always bring up the fact that I have ideas for things in future. Well one of those ideas I am going to be running by you now to see if anyone is interested in them. Ok, so one idea I thought would be a little fun to try would be contests where I gave away prizes like original art, and other fun little things.

Alright now let me dig deep into the mail bag and see what I can find for today.

Dear DVid,

Not a fan of yours at all. Your art sucks and I can not 

believe that people like this crap. You are not funny 

and again your not a good artist, I think you 

should just give it up.

-Richard

Well Dick, do you mind if I call you Dick? Good. So Dick, thank you for taking the time to voice your opinion, although I may disagree with you, and might know a few people who disagree as well. I happen to like my art, and feel that I am getting better with each strip I draw. I hope others are out there enjoying my work as much as I am, and I also hope to one day make a little money doing this. Well now that I got that out I have a question for you. Why would you take the time to write to me and tell this stuff instead of just going on with you life and never coming back to my blog? Hmmm, I don't know Dick. Well Dick, you have a wonderful day now Dick, and take care of yourself Dick.

Dear DVid,

Are you as cute as the drawings you do of yourself? 

And more importantly are you single?

-Cindy

Well Cindy, first off thank you for taking the time to write, and also thank you for sending me something nice. You know I did not know I did that many drawings of myself, but I guess I did. I usually tend to stay away form self portraits as I do not have as high opinion of my looks as you do. So to answer your questions, I don't think I'm as cute as my drawings, but then again you may have a differing opinion. And no I am not single, some how I managed to find someone who is capable of putting up with me, for now at least, and seems to find me mildly attractive. But thanks anyways for the ego boost.

All right ladies and gentlemen, that will do it for this Wednesday. I hope to find you all back here again on Thursday for another cartoon, maybe a few more letters, and some news I hope you will all find to be pleasing to the eyes and mind. Until then, take care.
