(1975) Dry Bones cartoon: Israel, Driving, Drivers,
The Israeli Cartoon Museum has decided to produce a travelling exhibit of Dry Bones cartoons. So the LSW (Long Suffering Wife) and I have been going through the more than 7,000 Dry Bones cartoons to select what should go into the show and catalog. The LSW suggested that I share some of our selections with you. So here's one of them. It's from 1980, is one of her favorites, and is Today's Golden Oldie.

Great to see this Golden Oldie. How about the "You Know You've Been in Israel Too Long When...". I've been waiting for ages to see them again.(You said you'd think about it some time ago.) I have lost my precious originals I'd kept from the International issues of the JP and from when I was a volunteer on Kibbutz Machanayim in October 1973. Does anyone else remeber them?

Just another regular day in the Tel Aviv traffic jungle!!!

Shabbat Shalom to all Ddry Boners

At 5:53 AM, JD Straw said...: Wow! Too funny. We don't have those signs here in the US but you'd think we did because this is just how the people drive here anyway. WORSE, in fact! :-)

Thanks for the good laugh.
