John Wagner, Creator of Hallmark’s Maxine
nWith her drooping, grayish exterior and sour spirit to match, one particular cartoon character has made a big impression. She seems to peer through dark glasses directly at readers, scrutinizing and examining. Then the scrawny old woman utters a humdinger of a crabby comment from, of all places, the inside of a greeting card. That’s Maxine, speaking out for the older generation and making a lot of smiles in the process.nn As an artist with Hallmark™ since 1970, John Wagner created Maxine in 1986 as a new character line for the Shoebox Greetings™ card division. He created a brazen older woman with a stooped back, a mop of curly gray hair and abrasive personality. Wagner’s mom, grandmother and unmarried aunts provided inspiration for the comic creation. Maxine took on an individuality of her own, taking sheer delight in making high-spirited, crabby remarks about almost everything. Though she was truly funny, the character had the staff at Hallmark™ concerned.nn Spokeswoman for Hallmark™, Rachel Bolton noted in a 1997 article on the “my.com” website that, “When she first came out, we were so worried that older people might be offended. It turns out to be just the opposite. People loved her.” Full story HEREn

ADULT TRUTHS
n1. Sometimes I’ll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.nn2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.nn3. I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.nn4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.nn5. How are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?nn6. Was learning cursive really necessary?nn7. Map Quest or Google Maps really need to start their directions on #5. nI’m pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.nn8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.nn9. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least kind of tired.nn10. Bad decisions make good stories.nn11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment when you know that you just aren’t going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.nn12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blu-Ray? nI don’t want to have to restart my collection… again.nn13. I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.nn14. I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.nn15. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.nn16. I disagree with Kay Jewelers.

Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.nn22. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey – but I’d bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time.nn23. The first testicular guard, the “Cup,” was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974.

Quit Laughing! )nnIt just gets better as you get older, doesn’t it?nnI was in a Starbucks Coffee recently when my stomach started rumbling and I realized that I desperately needed to fart. The place was packed, but the music was really loud so to get relief and reduce embarrassment I timed my farts to the beat of the music. After a couple of songs I started to feel much better. I finished my coffee and noticed that everyone was staring at me. I suddenly remembered that I was listening to my Ipod (with ear piece) – and how was your day?nn(This is what happens when old people start using technology!)nnStop laughing and go ahead and forward this – (you know you want to).nn nnn

n1. When his .38 caliber revolver failed to fire at his intended victim during a hold-up in Long Beach, California would-be robber James Elliot did something that can only inspire wonder. He peered down the barrel and tried the trigger again. This time it worked.nnAnd now, the honorable mentions:nn2. The chef at a hotel in Switzerland lost a finger in a meat cutting machine and after a little shopping around, submitted a claim to his insurance company. The company, expecting negligence’ sent out one of its men to have a look for himself. He tried the machine, and he also lost a finger… The chef’s claim was approved.nn3. A man who shoveled snow for an hour to clear a space for his car during a blizzard in Chicago returned with his vehicle to find a woman had taken the space. Understandably, he shot her.nn4. After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting from Harare to Bulawayo had escaped. Not wanting to admit his incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone waiting there a free ride. He then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital, telling the staff that the patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies… The deception wasn’t discovered for 3 days.nn5. An American teenager was in the hospital recovering from serious head wounds received from an oncoming train.. When asked how he received the injuries, the lad told police that he was simply trying to see how close he could get his head to a moving train before he was hit.nn6. A man walked into a Louisiana Circle K, put a $20 bill on the counter, and asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk promptly provided. The man took the cash from the clerk and fled, leaving the $20 bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he got from the drawer… $15. If someone points a gun at you and gives you money, is a crime committed?nn7. Seems an Arkansas guy wanted some beer badly. He decided that he’d just throw a cinder block(?) through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So, he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his head at the window. The cinder block bounced back and hit the would-be thief on the head, knocking him unconscious. The liquor store window was made of Plexiglas. The whole event was caught on videotape…nn8. As a female shopper exited a New York convenience store, a man grabbed her purse and ran. The clerk called 911 immediately, and the woman was able to give them a detailed description of the snatcher. Within minutes, the police apprehended the snatcher. They put him in the car and drove back to the store. The thief was then taken out of the car and told to stand there for a positive ID. To which he replied, “Yes, officer, that’s her. That’s the lady I stole the purse from.”nn9. The Ann Arbor News crime column reported that a man walked into a Burger King in Ypsilanti, Michigan at 5 A.M., flashed a gun, and demanded cash. The clerk turned him down because he said he couldn’t open the cash register without a food order. When the man ordered onion rings, the clerk said they weren’t available for breakfast…. The man, frustrated, walked away.nn10. When a man attempted to siphon gasoline from a motorhome parked on a Seattle street by sucking on a hose, he got much more than he bargained for… Police arrived at the scene to find a very sick man curled up next to a motor home near spilled sewage. A police spokesman said that the man admitted to trying to steal gasoline, but he plugged his siphon hose into the motor home’s sewage tank by mistake. The owner of the vehicle declined to press charges saying that it was the best laugh he’d ever had.n
