I started Dry Bones in Jan 1973. Since then I've been known as "Bones" to friends and colleagues. This is the first time I've ever shared the "stories behind the cartoons." Enjoy.

The Lone Ranger and Tonto Were riding down the Navajo Trail When a band of Indians found em Proceeded to surround em and The Lone Ranger turned kinda pale
Log on to hide ad.
Tonto, our lives are in danger We got to get away if we can Tonto just looked at Lone Ranger What you mean, we, white man
(CHORUS) Tell me what you mean (We, white man) Tell me what you mean (we) Tell me what you mean (We, white man) Tell me what you mean (we)
You in heap big trouble But it don`t involve me, white man No, it don`t involve me It do not involve me, white man It do not involve me
The Lone Ranger said, Tonto Why talk about the shade of my hide After all we been through It would make me mighty blue If you don`t remain by my side
We`ll steal away said the Ranger Grab an Injun by the hand Tonto said, turn me loose, stranger What you mean, we, white man
(CHORUS)
You in heap big trouble But it don`t involve me, white man No, it don`t involve me It don`t involve me, white man No, it don`t involve me
The Lone Ranger cried, Tonto Stick with me and I`ll double your pay We can do a switch about You give me your pony, Scout And ride Silver, hi-ho away
But hurry up said the masked man To get away, we`re gonna have to race Tonto took Silver and laughed And said what you mean, we, paleface

(That`s your problem, paleface) What you talking bout, we, paleface What you talking bout, we
It don`t involve me, paleface It don`t involve me It don`t involve me, paleface It don`t involve me........
Good one, nothing wrong with recycling an old gag in a new context, do it all the time myself :)
Which leads me to the old joke about the new Japanese / Jewish restaurant they call it the So-Su-Me!
simply blame the Jews. Nothing will change, but at least Muslism and Christians are free of any blame
@Anonymous. Maybe, but this time around, the Christians are also under attack. Although it doesn't make nearly as much news, Christians in Muslim countries are being murdered and expelled right now, just like the Jews were in the fairly-recent past.
And just like Jews, the radical Muslims want to kill all the Christians too. They are very non-discriminitory. They want to kill everybody and everything that doesn't submit to their law. And even those who do might still be killed if they're not radical enough for the ruling faction du-jour.
