I remember my grandparents watching game shows every night! Pat & Vanna feel like old friends to me. The new Press Your Luck was so good!! You should watch it if you get a chance.

The kite!! Amazing. What a find.

I'm feeling very stuck with my Substack, too. I've been thinking maybe I should just give it up. I enjoy making the comics, but I don't really need to share them and asking people to read about these small moments in my life feels vain, exhausting, and silly. I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but I'm definitely contemplating my options.

I do truly enjoy your Sunday emails, so if it feels like they're going into a vacuum and disappearing (that's how I feel about mine), they are not! I look forward to it each week.

Thank you - and I hope you don’t stop posting your comic! You do have an audience. While you say you don’t need to share them, would you be as disciplined about making them if you didn’t share? Maybe you would, but that’s the kind of question I would ask. The share builds in accountability (even if it’s flexible) I would imagine. At any rate, I enjoy your comic!

Note to myself - make sure to let the authors you love reading know that you love reading them. It's too easy to read something, smile or giggle to yourself about it and then move to the next one. The concept of social media has become much less social and more 'easily consumable'. Trish's Tails are little nuggets of joy in my day. Little Fun Sized candy bar joy. 😁Please don't stop posting them. And I also love reading Amy's newsletters, but they're more full sized candy bar joy. 🍫 Even if I'm late reading them, I always go back and catch up.

Thank you so much for this comment - and I love knowing you also read and love Trish Tales! I just recorded a CMP anniversary show, and your comment was so wonderful for me to see today as I got ready for that. Happy to be a sweet treat of any size!

"Higher Bob!" "Lower, Bob!" This is the one I remember from Card Sharks that sticks with me as much as "No whammies! No whammies!" We did watch a lot of games shows in my house as children, as well. Mostly during summer vacation from school, when we would spend almost every day with my cousins - who were avid game show lovers and board game lovers. They even had a Family Feud board game we would play. And every now and then, I still like to throw on the Wheel and Jeopardy pairing every now and then, even if it feels like the questions are getting harder. Ha!

I love this! Thank you for sharing your memory .... I don’t watch any of them now either, which I think is interesting.
