A PERK OF MARRYING
INTO A MICHIGAN FAMILY

(Click the image to view full size)

That Pam... what a card.

Tomorrow will see my official (aka final)  "Christmas" strip, and then the Blockhams will go on hiatus until after the Outback Bowl.  Thanks for a crazy year, my friends.


THE BLOCKHAMS™ runs (typically) every Wednesday here at MGoBlog,
and at least every Thursday on its official home page.  Also, don't forget to
check out Friday Roughs, a spontaneous low-end comic based on trending
Michigan events, available on Twitter and Facebook every Friday.

like to say thanks for all the hoopla on Friday regarding the "DESTINY" drawing-- thing went pretty close to viral before the national attention and prayers rightfully shifted to Newtown.

Still, the D. Green thing was no easy act to follow-- thanks for the support!

As a man who would love to have that much hair, I appreciate his inclusion. Bald men are an unrepresented minority in mosy print. When is the last time you opened a Meijer ad and saw a bald man. patrick Stewart, Jason Stathem, and sometimes Bruce Willis, these are our representativrs among the ranks of yhose that are cheered for, most are depicted as villians.

Personally, I thank you six zero for this uncommen inclusion.

Ann Arbor by birth.  Wolverine by choice.

Yeah we get money if you use the link then buy anything. We keep talking about ways to pimp it but then we pimp something else and don't want to pimp anything for awhile because we don't want to look like pimps. I guess we could stick a button up.

for gifts for Hanukkah, every single member of the family had a box from the M-Den to open.  Out of the 6 adults there, 5 were UM alums (myself, my wife, my stepsister, her husband, and my stepmom), and all 6 adults plus the 3 kids got something Maize & Blue for the holidays.  So true on the comic!
