Santa's Helpers: Hardrock, Coco, Joe, and Tylenol 3

While I'm all pumped up on pain meds and chillin' on the couch, I thought I'd post another classic from my youth.  This is part deux of the here-comes-Christmas cartoons that we waited for each year as kids--Suzy Snowflake was number one. Most people remember Hardrock, Coco, and Joe more than Suzy for some reason.

This one is for you, Paul:



Hey, you know, this having all your Christmas stuff done and laying on the couch stuff isn't too bad. It's actually kinda nice to just relax during a time of year that I'm usually running around like a nut. And the toe.....doesn't hurt all that bad.

Happy Weekend, pallies. May you have a few minutes to just relax and enjoy it a bit.

Sorry, no - Don't remember them, never heard of them. Glad you're feeling not all that bad and enjoying your recuperation...sometimes chores and such expand to fill the time - since you can't do them, they aren't there...

mmnyah. The song, not so much. But Santa's "beaver teeth" cracked me up.

Glad the pain isn't too bad. Recuperate on!

JODI said...

Hope you are doing well and the drugs are easing the recovery pain.

You know what would make my holiday?...a pic in a post of the hooker at KFC hanging with the pope.

Pricilla said...

The bigger question - how's the reflux?

Lola said...

Hope you're not in too much pain.

Writer Lady said...

Hey Pally (my other Pally), get better soon. I hadn't been keeping up and there you are recuperating and I didn't know it.

Get better fast.

BeadedTail said...

Glad the toe doesn't hurt too bad and hope you get back on your feet soon! We're curious as to if it fixed the reflux too.

Ann said...

Glad you are able to enjoy your recuperation time.
I don't remember this cartoon at all.

HI!

Anne said...

I hope you are feeling well. I think relaxing this time of year would definitely rock. As long as you aren't in too much pain.

DJ said...

I hope your toe heals up fast and looks as straight as an arrow!

Ratty said...

We never got this cartoon either in Detroit. I think Detroit was holding out on all of us kids back then.

Grace--It's hard to just shut down and relax, Grace! I'm finding little stuff to do...but those projects are adding up as well. I might have to be sick for a few weeks to catch up!

Vanilla--It's a "Chicago" thing to like these guys. I'm feeling good, but I have to remember to take it easy.

Jodi--Oh, that's coming! We don't have them out yet, but I do have additions this year. Get ready....
I'm feeling good, thank you.

Pricilla--You know, it is better! I went off my iron and vitamins and I'm wondering if that was it too. Either way, I'm feeling good--GERD and foot-wise!

Lola--Nope, not too bad. I think the broken foot this summer was about as bad, so I can survive. I have to remember to take it easy though. Hard to do this time of year.

Marilynne--It's not a big deal--just got the toe straightened. I'm feeling good, but I have to relax this week and stay off of it. Yeah, good luck! :)

Beaded Tail--The reflux is better! I went off my vitamins and iron and I wonder if that was the problem too. Either way, my stomach is much better and the foot is not too bad. It will be nice to chill this week!

Ann--This cartoon is a "Chicago" thing like Suzy Snowflake. Yeah, I'm gonna take it easy this week. I feel good, but I have to be really careful with that pin in my toe.

Diana--HI! :)

Anne--The pain isn't too bad, but I have to remember to take it easy and put the foot up. Hard to do this time of year. I'm gonna work on that all week though!

DJ--Thanks, pally! I can't wait to see how straight it is! It doesn't hurt too bad, but I have to remember to take care of it and stay off of it.

Ratty--Yeah, this is a "Chicago" thing. We loved this stuff when we were kids!

Veronica Lee said...

Praying that you'll have a speedy recovery and that your toe will be as straight as my hair!

paul said...

that was great Lin sometimes i really wish i could go back to though times when life was so simple .

Marg said...

Sorry we are so late to wish you get better quickly wishes. Hope you are feeling better soon and that toe behaves itself. We never heard of Hardrock,coco or Joe. So we enjoyed the video. Take care

blueviolet said...

I adore that and Suzi Snowflake. Love them so much!

Lin said...

Veronica Lee--Thanks, pally! I hope so too and that this is all worth it!

Paul--Me too. I wanna walk home from school for lunch again.

Marg--It's a "Chicago" thing, Marg. You gotta grow up here to know these three. Thanks for the well-wishes.

Violet--I like her best too, although these three are probably more well-known.
