The Blockhams in "HOPELESS ROMANTIC"

Submitted by Six Zero on

HOPELESS ROMANTIC

As mentioned two days ago, I was recently defeated by the stomach virus

and ordered by my doctor to cease all drawing of cartoon Michigan families

until I could stand the smell of cooked food.  As such, I opted to run

Tuesday's feature Blockhams strip today, and that's what brings us to this...

(Click the image to view full size)  

There's something about a big victory that brings the charm out of a Blockham man... and with three kids named Thomas, Chalmers and Desmond, matriarch Donna has seen it before and knows it all too well.  Call it the heat of the moment, the rush of unbridled happiness, or something far less eloquent... but for a Michigan Man like Tom, there's something about a big win that calls for, well, another big win.   


THE BLOCKHAMS™ runs (typically) every Tuesday here at MGoBlog, and at least

every Thursday on its official home page.  Also, don't forget to check out our newest

feature, Friday Roughs, a spontaneous low-end comic based on trending

Michigan events, available on Twitter and Facebook every Friday.

Brian opted out of the radio because he's got the bug going around too...it's an MGoDemic!

I can't get sick just by reading the site, can I?  Or maybe after this strip, pregnant?

It would be strange NOT to have a twinkle in your eye after waiting decades for something like this. I can identify Tom's feelings of elation at that moment and....well, the other feeling. 

I will say, we sadly missed the boat on Michigan-themed names for both kids. My wife, not being a sports person, wouldn't even entertain the notion, although I did keep trying. It is comforting that the Blockhams have succeeded in this regard even if some of us have failed. 

Once again, awesome work, Six Zero.

My husband and I have been debating various Michigan-themed names for our non-existant dogs and children for years.  As long as he doesn't vote to name a human Fielding, I'm good to go.

Tripp after Wellbourne. My wife not being a fan, wondering what I had been drinking asked me what kinda name (Tripp) is that?. I was saying isnt it different honey? she says yeah, its different alright. So different there isnt a chance in hell that is happening. My sons name is Sean, now everyone says isn't everone named Sean? So I can't win for losing.
