Has Spring Sprung?

In a complete turnaround of events, this morning did not suck! I went to get my driver's license renewed/replaced and fully expected to get bogged down in red-tape and ultimately rejected. Though I didn't get it today, I was given directions as to how to obtain it later this week. I may be rejected later, but for now my day started off well.

So since I was in the neighbourhood and the sun was shining, I called up pal Alex and met up with he and his daughter for a walk in the park. Once the sun hid behind the clouds, it became bitter cold yet for a few hours there, it seemed as though Spring had arrived.

Spring in My Step.

Today is a treat for me; it's the first day of Spring which means that it's a National Holiday called 春分の日 (shunbun no hi). Since I'm not working at either of my jobs and there's nothing open for me to go flog a resume at, I can chill all day and do some Spring Cleaning.

But before I go there, here are some Springy Comics courtesy of the Grand Comics Database:

Let's start off with Veronica showing off her new kimono.











Our favourite Alien Life Form enjoying a spring up the backside.











Walt Kelly is more famous for Pogo but I like these magic mushrooms.











Of course Spring is the time for birds & bees and others to make whoopee.











The funniest Lobo cover ever with an appropriately placed barcode.











I only really like the original Gold Key version of Turok, but there were no Spring break issues. (That link'll take you to a Preview of an Animated feature.)










Jo-Joy was a man who thought he was a loner.











This cartoon features Coil Man who can spring into action. The Impossibles are known as the
ｽｰﾊﾟｰｽﾘｰ (Super-Three) and that link'll take you to an awesome YouTube of their theme in Japanese.









Not technically spring-oriented, but each of those guys has spring-like stretchy powers.










Finally it is also Earth Day today.
