Phydeaux – "Tuttle's" by Sam

Define Toxophilite

I wish I could remember where I ran across the word “toxophilite”. BTW, my computer doesn’t recognize it–which proves that computers are stupid.

In Line for the Throne

I’m happy for any couple that has a baby, but I guess I don’t understand the fascination with “royal” babies. So this kid will never have to work, big deal.

If Not the Blues, Then What Color?

I’m impressed that it rhymed.

Music Over Phone

I guess it’s a handy feature for work’s sake, but it bugs me that–when I’m in my car–the stereo system will pause the music so I can answer the calls. I’d much rather just miss the calls.

Pink

The thing I have noticed is that people who know who Arhur W. Pink was aren’t familiar with the lingerie brand … and vice versa.

Call of …

There’s a joke in here but maybe I’m the only person who cared about it: Tuttle is always writing these novels and screenplays with punnish, derivative titles that–as far as we know–fail like all of my novels. Phydeaux’s stupid scatological game caught on, though.

Chesterton, Buddy, ChesterTON!

I remembered this strip and it’s hard for me to believe that’s it’s already been 4 years since I did it. Seems like it was just months ago. But then, I also remember that I was so struck by that quote that I used it in my novel Ashes to Ashes (see it at http://garisonfitch.com/book/ashes-to-ashes-the-last-valley-book-1)

Yes, Yes It Is

Even as a kid, I thought the original words of the song were incredibly stupid (even if catchy).

BIG Screen TV!

I really thought about getting a bigger TV at Christmas, when they were ostensibly “on sale”, but then it occurred to me that the big, flat screen TV I have works just fine. Maybe next year.

Askance Lookin’

Actually, there are people who object if you put ketchup on mashed taters. I have no idea why. Probably says something about the lack of parenting they received as a child.
