The "Axe Me No Questions" strip was published on June 28, 2023 and pane number one utilizes the front of the Showtown Bar and Grill located at 10902 US Hwy 41 South in Gibsontown, Florida. The Showtown Bar and Grill got its name from the community that it serves.
According to Wikipedia:
"Gibsonton was famous as a sideshow wintering town, where various people in the carnival and circus businesses would spend the off season, placing it near the winter home for the Ringling Brothers Circus at Tampa, Sarasota and Venice in various times. It was home to Percilla the Monkey Girl, the Anatomical Wonder, and the Lobster Boy. Siamese twin sisters ran a fruit stand here. At one time, it was the only post office with a counter for dwarfs. Aside from the agreeable winter climate, Gibsonton offered unique circus zoning laws that allowed residents to keep elephants and circus trailers on their front lawns."
Today the Showtown Bar & Grill still serves the community, however, the front of the building has been replaced with a newer mural.
