May 23, 2014: National Taffy Day isn’t just for the saltwater kind (although that stuff is totally delicious) — go out and grab some Laffy Taffy if that’s your thing. (And bring me a piece of banana-flavored. I don’t know what it is about artificial chemical banana flavor, it’s one of my Kryptonites.) Today being the Friday before Memorial Day weekend, it’s also National Wig Out Day — a chance to pull out that wig you’ve always wanted to wear and give it a try. Almost everyone is taking the day off from work today, so you’ll be able to do a hairdo test-run for a small audience.

Today also launches the National Polka Festival out in Ennis, Texas. It’s been around since 1967, so you know it has to be good! Grab a beer and your accordion, and get out there!

This is also World Crohn’s and Colitis Day, a holiday very close to my heart (and guts). But seriously, nobody wants to see me draw anything even remotely related to my Crohn’s Disease.
