Not having an Elements of Style handy, I would say at “Years’” stands for belonging to plural years while “Year’s” refers to one year.I may be wrong, but not in 2010 yet.
Tom, I like the Outside-the-Box idea. I’ve never seen it done before.
Ernie Bushmiller once said, “Anything can happen in a comic strip.” I’m amazed at how few cartoonists realize this. With The Doozies, it goes without saying.
