For background music while you view this week's 'toon from this blog's artist-in-residence (Tom Tomorrow/Dan Perkins), fire up John Denver (John Deutschendorf, Jr.) singing "Rocky Mountain High."

"Rocky Mountain High" (1972)
By John Denver
The song is eerily prescient as Colorado legalized the sale and consumption of marijuana in 2014. Take that BoBoBoy! Put that in your bong and smoke it. If this is a (fair & balanced) drug-induced hallucination, so be it.
PS: This blogger has never smoked anything, nor does he plan to start.

Reefer Madness
