The “Funnybone Ticklers” look like spitbacks from the New Yorker. How could those editors be so cruel to one of the best cartoonists ever? It’s ok, though. I never read that rag anyway!(A “spitback” is a rarely used-thank God!-bit of Southern slang indicating a chocolate with a bite taken out of it, and placed gently-or gentilely-back in the box.) As always, Ruben, it’s difficult to wait ’til next week!
