308. Aesop Brothers Strip: Middleborough, MA

June 14, 2011

Q: I am trying to find a copy of the issue with the Aesop Brothers cartoon about how my home town, Middleborough, MA, described in it as the “Most Boring Town in America”.

A: I’m stumped. If you, dear reader, know the answer, please post it in a comment.

I am from Lakeville. I remember the Cartoon, but I thought the magazine, may have been High Times....so long ago.....

Possibly October 1978 issue -this is a very rough guess

Believably, one of the funniest cartoon strips imaginable… Get this, a pair of Siamese Twins, one is straight and the other one is gay… absolutely hilarious!!! They both end up at a gastroenterologist, as their conjoined digestive systems are in mutiny and they have to undergo a “finger check” up the ol’ wazoo… immediately following the exam the doctor makes a comment, out loud, while looking at his right hand index finger, “Just as I suspected… no mulch!!! I almost cannot contain myself … I am laughing so hard, I’m crying 😭 !!!! Rodriguez kills me!!!
