It's National Adoption Day...

... and we apologize to anyone who finds Fanny's response to our request for a statement to be offbase.

If you've adopted someone, is the someone who was adopted, or know someone who was adopted into their current family, there might be something of interest to you on the National Adoption Day website; you might even want to share a story or two of your own.

Sarah did some scribbling...

 













In addition to the always-amusing Sarah's Scriibles, Sarah Andersen has brought us the excellent Halloweenish strip "Fangs". It's the story of true love between a vampire and a werewolf, and here's my review of a book collecting most (if not all) of them.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Flapper Fanny by Ethel Hays

Flapper Fanny is here to make you smile, and everything about her is good fun. What isn't fun, however, is real-life domestic violence.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month--an all-too-real horror that many are living through even as the rest of us have fun with imaginary horrors. We as a society tend to still ignore than men can be victims of domestic violence and other forms of spousal abuse. 

So, while we can smile at the puns and truths dished out by Flapper Fanny, we can also take steps to understand the causes of domestic violence, learn to recognize victims and abusers, and how to take steps to help them. A good place to start is at this webpage, but the important information can be found here.

It's a Big Fanny Friday!

Flapper Fanny by Ethel Hays

It's a very special Fanny Friday today, in that it coincides with National Actors Day AND (or should we say "&"?) Ampersands Day. To make this dual celebratory day all the more festive, we are not only bringing you Fanny's thoughts on actors, but we are going BIG & bringing you more than just one cartoon!

It's a Special Fanny Friday!

Today, marks since six months since Flapper Fanny joined the Shades of Gray family. We hope you enjoy these classic cartoons as much as we do, and we plan on continuing to bring them to you for the foreseeable future.
