Thank god for word processing. I can read but I can’t write. By that I mean, I write stuff and make a bunch of mistakes that I don’t catch unless I re-read it and make corrections. The spell checker is a big help too.
The cartoons for Archy & Mehitabel were drawn by George Herriman, the creator of Krazy Kat (the K in RipleyKGarfield).Anyone out there know how Mr. Herriman got to draw these creatures?
Right now, kids across the continent are wondering, “What’s a typewriter?” Well, kids, typewriters are to texting what 8-track tapes are to mp3’s: Prehistory.And here’s another “Thanks” to LeadingEdge for the how-to guide on posting images here.
@LeadingEdgeThank you for all your comments and help. They are brilliant. I enjoy them and they are about the only ones I read here in the comments, other then leftwingpatriot. and Hobbes when he is here. Thank you and have a great day.

Calvin’s propensity to be a helpless bug is quite foreboding.

It’s wonderful to see so many Archie and Mehitabel references! Anyone here who doesn’t should check out the books at the library. They’re a treat!
