This week, Colorado is ex-periencing record heat, sustained drought, and it seems like the entire state is afl ame with forest fi res. My job is to fi nd something funny in that. Here in the mountains, we’re spoiled when it comes to weather. It’s sunny 300 days a year and it rarely gets above 80 degrees in the summer. A few years ago, a glorious fall day during a visit to Vancouver had me wondering why I didn’t live there. It was raining buckets the next morning on my way to the airport and, out of curiosity, I kept track. It rained the next 27 days straight. In Colorado, the Mental Health Hotlines get over-loaded if we have two cloudy days in a row.
My home is just not equipped to handle the heat. Like 99% of our neighbors, we don’t have air condi-tioning. I’ve tried to come up with creative ways to stay cool. Last time we went to Disneyland on a hot day, I bought each kid one of those water bottles with a battery operated fan on the top. Whenever they’d get over-heated they’d just spray a curtain of mist in the air and walk through it. Yesterday, I tried to recreate that exhilarating sensation by setting up a perimeter of fans in my home of-fi ce and squirting water at them with a spray bottle while I worked but the worrywart in me suggested that might be like using a hair dryer while taking a bath. The heat wave has reached such severity that my friends have started posting ski and winter storm photos on Facebook. It’s only June. Usually we wait until August to do that. Last night I went out to the garage and tuned my skis while sipping on a cup of hot cocoa with the door of the beer frig open.
Heat affects me like altitude af-fects fl atlanders. The common symp-toms include headache, fatigue, loss of appetite, dizziness, and sleep dis-ruption. The heat is also making me pretty cranky so I’m trying to confi ne my interactions with other humans to air conditioned spaces such as the su-permarket. I’ve found myself linger-ing in the dairy section of Safeway and wishing I was that guy that tidies up the yogurt section every morning. Yesterday I caught myself gazing

y the Heatjealously at the route driver pushing a cart of ice into the store. Next door, the owner of the liquor store chased me out because I kept nagging him to let me restock the beer coolers. At home, if things are getting feisty amongst family members I escort the combatants out to the driveway and lock them in the idling Subaru with the thermostat set at sixty-two until they hash things out.
Pet lethargy is a serious conse-quence of a heat wave. Think about it—you don’t go to the zoo on a hot day. When you go to all the best ex-hibits—the lions, tigers, and bears—all you see is a tail or two sticking out from behind a tree trunk back in the shadiest corner. You know it’s hot when the monkeys barricade themselves in the polar bear enclo-sure. Here at home, the pets are re-ally struggling. Usually they stam-pede to the kitchen the second I roll out of bed. Today it was so hot that I had to pick each of them up, one by one, carry them to the kitchen, and lay them down next to their dishes. Skitty, the ornery cat, has a pink bowl with ‘Killer’ printed on it. I’ve tem-porarily taped a piece of paper over it that says ‘Do Not Disturb’. The dogs are peeing into empty Coke bottles instead of going outside. If you put GPS tracking devices on each of my fi ve pets their combined movement for the day would total about seven-teen feet.
The sun is going down now so I sequestered the cats in the bedroom and fl ung open all the windows in the rest of the house. As the breeze blows through and desperately seeks to cool down the house I’m recalling those wonderful summer evenings growing up in rural Minnesota. I imagine that the scent of distant for-est fi res carried by the wind is actu-ally the aroma of fresh cut hay. Back then, we had heat AND humidity and never had air conditioning and wouldn’t dreamed of complaining. My daughter just turned on the oven to bake a potato. I was just about to chew her out—chastising her to cook it in the microwave instead—but I caught myself. After all, the heat does make me cranky. I’m headed down the hall to join the cats in the bedroom, remembering that if you can’t stand the heat…get out of the kitchen.

I fi nd myself oft en competing with someone I’ve never met.
Th ere are very few things I do in my life during which I don’t imagine how this gentleman might do them better.
For example, if he published Funnies Extra, his humor columns would be so funny that reader tears and mucus would be spread across the page. Th e paper would break re-cords for popularity, becoming more widely consumed than television, the internet or chocolate.
He probably would not drive a car like mine, but if he did, when it broke down he wouldn’t take it to the garage. He would rightly suggest that the problem is because of the timing belt. Th en, aft er searching through the trunk, he would emerge with a fresh one that he had brought along just in case. And it would smell like lemon, because he would marinate it in lemon juice the night before so he could enjoy the pleasing aroma while repairing the car, if such a need arose.
His mind would be full of useful information. He would always be able to spell a word when asked, and off er its etymology and French, Latin
and Klingon translations.His body would be remarkable.
He would sometimes have up to 1% body fat, but only when holding a package of bacon in his hand. He could dunk a basketball blindfolded without a running start. He could somehow run a 5-minute mile in only three minutes and would never smell stinky when he sweats.
You see, he marinates his head-band in lemon the night before.
Morally, he would be completely unselfi sh, opening doors for people, then carrying them through with his mighty arms. He would donate to charities without telling anyone. He would not only visit people in hospitals, but also in laundromats and libraries. Honestly, this prob-ably would freak people out, but he wouldn’t let that bother him, as he waited until they needed him to car-ry them out of the building with his powerful, lemon-scented arms.
Nobody would ever be sure why they smelled that way, but they all would agree that the scent is delight-ful.
He would be a much better father to my children than I am, taking my son hunting and gently instructing him in car repair and teaching him Latin. My daughter would adore him, one day looking forward to marrying a man so similarly blessed in the skills of publishing free news-papers that she would always feel se-cure.
And he would always know what my wife was thinking. Mostly, it would just be about the disappoint-ment she feels for all of the other
women who must be married to less-er men - men who know nothing of his charm and who smell very little like lemon.
He would approach his home romantically aft er returning from work, always rain-soaked like Mr. Darcy, regardless of the weather. He would then enter the dwelling, rub-bing his wife’s feet with one hand and using the other to prepare a sensibly healthy, yet exotic meal to eat by can-dlelight.
Th e possible existence of this man is a concern of mine. If he was to en-ter my world, I would live in constant fear of him taking my wife, adopting my children and possibly eating the rest of my Cocoa Krispies.
It is not healthy for me to live with such fear.
Th e easiest thing I can do is just put it out of my mind. Howev-er, that is not t h e o n l y weap-on in my ar-senal.
As a d e v o t e d c o n s u m -er of Funnies Extra, one with perseverance enough to have endured almost to the end of this ridiculous piece of writing, might I ask you a favor?
If you smell this gentleman ap-
proaching the Waldo or Knox Coun-ty areas, please cleverly divert his attention in some zany and eff ective way.
He must not enter my reality.But be warned. He is entirely clev-
er, powerful and charming. I am not responsible if you get seriously hurt or fall in love.
I wish you the best on your ef-forts, and thank you in advance for supporting my eff orts to be the best I can be without needing to actually improve.

CHUCK DOWNS Cartoonist
Haikus amuse meBut sometimes can confuse me
Refrigerator
I always fi nd random things in my pockets at the end of the day: paper clips, gum wrappers, dry cleaning receipts and the ever-present lint. These drawings are what’s left in my head when the day is done: the random “pocket lint” of my brain.
Chuck Downs is a carbon-based form of cartoonist who lives in Florida with his wife and two children. By day, he is vice president of marketing for a company that clearly does not conduct very thorough background checks. By night, he fi ghts crime. Now that he is old-er, his experience only walks the gamut for fear of pulling a ham-string. He often “misuses” quota-tion marks, and likes to frequently split his infi nitives.
Funnies Extra! will feature at least four straight issues of comic strips and panels from aspiring, non-syndicated cartoonists. Comic strips or
cartoon panels may be published from cartoonists of any age, with a short
bio. For submission guidelines and information,go to: www.funnies-extra.com/submissions. Send each furnished strip as a
PDF fi le along with your name, age, address and phone number. Send 5 to 10 color submissions to: submissions@funnies-extra.com and type “Spotlight” in the subject line.Good luck and have fun! (participation void where prohibited)
