I thought of this the first time I heard the song all those years ago.
Eagle Eye Singing
Some Other Thoughts
Yes, that is an exact quote from “Fellowship of the Ring.” I wonder if Tolkien meant something else, though.
With Cream on Top
Ever have cream (or syrup) on your plate and an item you wouldn’t normally put anything sweet on accidentally gets some and, you won’t admit it, but you wish the sweet had gotten on more of the other item?
Woe Is Lois
Yes, I’ve done a variation on this joke before. I liked the other one better.
An Impossible Shot
It’s alarming how many people wrote to me who didn’t get this because they didn’t know that a vicarage was not part of the body.

Merry Christmas 2023
If you had Doctor Tuttle in your local newspaper, you would have seen this strip on Christmas Day! Have your paper contact us today!!

I really did see the headline mentioned in the first panel. From there, this strip practically wrote itself.
