Fear The Noise

I don't know if guinea pigs have hyper hearing or not but I know I've never heard a bubble pop. I have no doubt that Timmothy got the idea for this strip from our neighbor who was out back blowing giant bubbles.

The fear of loud noises is one of two natural fears God built into us. WHY? Well you will have to ask him but I imagine the simple answer is "for our own good".

Back to Bubbles

One thing for sure, America is in love with bubbles.

Kids of all ages (1 to 100) love bubbles.

I think about children, teens like my neighbor, wedding receptions, and even the elderly (like watchers of the Laurence Welk Show) all like bubbles. There are no shortage of companies that will sell us bubbles as well.

Do you enjoy the cartoons written by my son (Timmothy N. Timm) which I use as a springboard to write my daily posts? His strip, Titus & Philemon, has run in two newspapers for years as well as being printed in my blog every day. Titus & Philemon (pronounced Phi - Lee -Man) are guinea pigs. Their owner is Joe. Timmothy has never repeated a joke/comic strip in the 12 years he has been writing it. He has never copied another strip, such as Peanuts or Garfield. You can follow Timmothy on FB as Titus & Philemon and you can also check him out on Instagram as Instagram.com/titus and philemon/ .For Timmothy's website type timmtimmothy.com into your browser. I tried to put it in a link here but it refuses to work. Do NOT put anything in front of timmtimmothy.com or it will not work.

Hi Bob,
We had those "bottles" of bubbles when we were kids. Lots of fun.

Expert guidance. Exceptional results.

That post made me smile, Bob "RealMan" Timm, because you captured that funny mix of wonder and noise we all grew up with, and it’s amazing how something as simple as bubbles can still pull folks together. I enjoyed the way you tied it all back to everyday life, and I’m glad you shared it with us. Funny how the smallest things can spark the biggest memories :)

Bubbles are always fun Lew Corcoran . I like them at wedding receptions. I wonder if anyone has considered them at a funeral?
