Short Months Tweet The full saying, as my sister taught me, is, of course: Thirty days hath Septober, Octember and No Wonder all eat sandwiches except for Grandma who rides a bicycle with thirty spokes who don’t speak unless spoken to.
Unequally Yoked — Not Yolked Tweet I like Trek and Wars both and have little patience for the knuckleheads who say you have to like one or the other. Not like we’re talking Coke vs. Pepsi here, folks!
Novelizations Tweet There are people who think this way. Who didn’t realize “The Hobbit” (and LOTR) were loosely based on existing books. But now, I’m surprised they didn’t come out with watered-down, simplified novels for the movies. Publishing thinks less and less of it’s readers and is mandating that authors not use compound sentences, keep the paragraphs short, and write everything at an 8th grade level. Are they correct in thinking so low of their audience, or are they trying to make their readers dim?
Scrabblarski Tweet By the end of “War and Peace”, I had pretty much given up on keeping the names straight. Enjoyed the book, though. Will I ever read it again? I doubt it.
Quixote Lives Tweet I like the idea that Pete may be both smarter and dumber than we think–at the same time!
Even Worse than the Pancreas? Tweet Yes, I know most people don’t find anything funny about cancer, but I don’t find anything funny about Lubbock, so it all works out, right?
Buffalo Guns Won’t You Come Out Tonight? Tweet I realized later that this punch line might have worked better in my “Cottage & CO” strip because here in “Tuttle’s” there’s the possibility of an armed buffalo being a character who draws little notice because all the other animals have been packing at one time or another.
I Believe I Can, Too Tweet If I have to tell you what song this is based on, well … I’m not sure where I was going with that sentence.
C.F.D.P. Tweet When I hit middle age, my tolerance for caffeine was greatly diminished, so now I only have one caffeinated drink a week. Caffeine Free Dr Pepper helps to lessen the pain of withdrawal.
