The Bollard Bulletin: December 10, 2024
Cartoon Tuesday: Never turn your back on Bollardhead! Plus honky tonk songs, a trippy holiday circus show and more good excuses to get out of the house...
In this episode from June of 2008, Bollardhead and his pals continue to tangle with an assassin in Rockland and get the worst of it. But the bad guy has made a potentially fatal mistake: never turn your back on Bollardhead, especially when there’s a double-handled scythe on the ground!
