Announcement from Owner and President, Eddie Eddings

The following is a message from Eddie Eddings, owner and president of Calvinistic Cartoons:

As much as I try to avoid interrupting this blog with announcements, from time to time I feel it's my duty to inform you readers of what is happening.  Britain's top share index hit a 15-month closing low on Tuesday, with banks and commodity stocks leading a broad-based sell-off, as growing doubts over Greece's ability to stave off a debt default triggered fears of financial turmoil. Now you know.

Here is how one member used some of his $7,000 after he spotted Corky in a flea market and said to him, "Cotton Adams was a Calvinist". That's all you have to do. It's just that simple.

Thanks to all who have helped me in the past few years. I have really enjoyed the comments and friendship.

Corky's Place

Corky Velveeta is taking a few days off to chill in his new apartment. He will be flying to an undisclosed place on Friday, June 24, on a special assignment for Calvinistic Cartoons. I will be leaving for the U.S. on Monday, June 20 with my wife, daughter and grand-daughter, for a much needed vacation. Corky likes long flights...I dread them. He can store plenty of snacks and beverages in his grenade costume. If you recognize him at the airport terminal, don't forget to walk up to him and say, "Cotton Adams was a Calvinist". That phrase will win you a seven layer bundle of one thousand dollar bills. BCNU.

Up to my Helmet in Trouble

Some may have noticed my absence the past few days. I wasn't able to log on to my Google account. I couldn't post or comment on either of my blogs and my navigation bar had disappeared. I did everything I could to correct this problem to no avail. I thought I was a goner. The thought crossed my mind that Nigel Pettibone or Benny Finney may have hacked into my site and messed with my settings. I cleaned out the cookies and the cache. (I don't need the cookies, being a little overweight...but, who doesn't need the cache!) All roads led to dead end after dead end. As a last resort, I switched from Google Chrome to Mozilla Firefox and now things are working properly again. Whew! I don't deserve the mercy but, I am glad to be back on!

Google Blogger Banning Calvinistic Cartoons

Because certain people do not like the Calvinistic content of this humor blog, Google Blogger has written me about banning this blog from certain areas. Here is a the email that was sent. I just hope that most of you loyal readers are not living in these parts of the world.

Dear Mr. Eddings

Many readers of a different theological persuasion have informed me of your efforts to ridicule, mock and yes, even bash certain practices in other sects of Christianity. We here at Google Blogger feel that banishment, from certain parts of the world, will be the best way to punish you for your arrogance.

The following areas will not be receiving Calvinistic Cartoons through the miracle of cyber-space:

The Kerguelen Islands;

Alert, Nunavut, Canada;

Tristan da Cunha;

Motuo County, China;

McMurdo Station, Antarctica

and La Rinconada, Peru.  

If your witticisms don't take on a more "user-friendly" attitude we might consider hiring an Arminian ninja to teach you a thing or two.

Thank you and have a pleasant tomorrow.

Mr. Google   

Behind the Scenes at CC

Here is a photo taken by our staff photographer, James Olsen, showing what goes on in our monthly meetings at the Calvinistic Cartoons office in Metropolis. I am always ready to pay extra for good ideas from my writers. This is one of our "think tank" sessions where we discuss the future of Calvinistic Cartoons and time travel in general.
The man standing is Bleppo Marx, a man who claims to be related to the Marx Brothers - all except for Zeppo.
The guy holding the glass of Pepsi, is Monroe Ribbits, a former librarian at the Spurgeon Archives.
The man holding the photo of his wife, is Felix Toyota, the author of several books on pancake batter.
Flying to Metropolis every month is expensive and tiring, but I feel it's worth it if you get a laugh or two out of this humble blog that has been traced back to the civil war.
BTW...I don't smoke. I am demonstrating a post situation for the month of June. We  use many props in our think tank sessions. Props with meaning. Props of kindness. Props of love.
Here at Calvinistic Cartoons we value readership and leadership. So we have decided to start reading what we have written and double checking for msplled werds.
I suspect someone in this group is a mole for Arminian Antics. I just haven't been able to figure it out.

As of Today - The Hardships of Blogging Daily

Because of the controversy of body gender in the comment section, I has been forced ta reveal da original photo ta prove it is NOT a female person, but a genuine dude.

Now, back to the original post...

It has been quite a run with Calvinistic Cartoons. My pace (not pacemaker) is slowing down. (I don't have a pacemaker...yet.) The cartoons and humor are harder to come by. My creative juices have been out in the Kuwait sun far too long and my ideas are starting to drift out to sea. Anyone who attempts to do a daily blog knows that it starts to take a toll on your mind after a few years. I have mentioned it before, and I'll say it again...I am old enough to be my own father. I can remember when folks sat down at the dinner table and counted their blessings instead of calories. I can remember when I could remember. Age brings a lot of physical problems as well. Along with my fading eyesight are various aches and pains that have unpacked and moved in without an invitation. I hope everyone will understand that things have to change. Some bloggers post every week or so and still maintain a good following. Some take a vacation from their blog for a month or two. So, as of today, I am going to post only on days that end with a "y".

My Very First Web Award

The package arrived today with a note from Benny Finney:

"You won this award hands down, clown.

Your blog is a fog in the bog, you dog.

May all your new members leave in September.

Your site is a blight and a whole lot of trite!"

I want to thank all the Lilliputians for making this happen.

CC's Time is Over - New Blog Starting

Calvinistic Cartoons will come to an end on May 5, 2011.

I will leave everything as is and start on a brand new blog on May 6, 2011.

It will be called, "Eddie's Recipes for Healthy Living".

It will only be about good eating habits and international recipes. 

Thanks for your support.

And have a great April Fool's Day!
