I have been missing this Today's Toons. Is Pookie alright? Has he been booted?

I have to admire that kind of longevity.

I'll bet he didn't even need Cialis! LOL

Thanks Pookie! A great job you did!

I hope he’s getting a good pension.

He did an excellent job.

On April 3 I think about 10 or so of the toons that were posted were deleted by Admin. Had to do with copy right. I guess after the deletions he decided it was not worth the time and effort to vet each and every toon. At least this is my take on it.

I do miss them.

Checking copyrights on each toon would be a pain.

Thanks pookie!

I believe Pookie and the management have butted heads for a while now on copyright issues. He is still posting the toons on a couple of other smaller sites that don’t get the scrutiny that FR does.

Alas, the Toons is over..............

A long, long time ago...
I can still remember
How that 'Toons used to make me smile.
And I knew 'cause Pookie had the chance
And knew us Freepers at a glance
That he'd set us grinnin' for a while.

But April 10th made me shiver
With the news FR delivered.
Bad news on the doorstep;
I couldn't take one more step.

...But something touched me deep inside
The day the Pookie Toons died.

So bye-bye, Mr. Pookie Toons guy.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And us good old Freeps wiped a tear from our eye
Sighgin', "This'll be the day that I die.
"this'll be the day that I die."

I hope you throw him a few husks of stale bread and a bottle of water once in a while.
