    I can think of one dead white male cartoonist whose work is, indeed, of the highest quality. I’m in the twilight zone now, where much of the almanac and Cul-de-sac are still new to me. Not looking forward to the day I start recognizing all the strips.

    Hi, Fred. Long time, no see.

    I read somewhere that “flummox” was coined by Charles Dickens, another great dead white male writer.

    Not so sure about “dead white males” except for our dear departed Richard, but I do a lot reading of comics these days, and a fair amount of commenting on them (now approaching 35000 comments)….

    Does this mean that the bookworm (human) is an endangered species? Cause, I’m feeling threatened.

    I believe Flummoxofin is an experimental treatment for Alzheimer’s.
