Boy Scout Taps

There was a time when I thought a lot about Boy Scouts. I was regularly coming up with scouting jokes that I hoped the New Era would publish. An if that magazine wouldn't print them, I could always post them onto this website. Out of this little practice came an almost unhealthy obsession to see a pinewood derby gag published in the New Era--which was finally realized in March, 2011.

Needless to say, this blog has seen a lot of Boy Scout gags published over the years. Today, you are looking at likely* the last scouting joke ever to be featured on the Ward Cartoonist website. So, please, if you've got one, put your bugle to your lips and play a rendition of taps.**

*There are still two scouting gags I sold to the New Era years ago. I suppose there's a chance that magazine could publish one or both of them before the end of the year (although I doubt it).

**Given the somberness that should exist for such an event, a kazoo would work too.
