Shoe by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly for October 28, 2017

I remember a Foxtrot strip where Peter’s reading a book titled “Pitcher in the Wheat”.

Who’s in the oats, What’s in the barley, I Don’t Know is in the rice

There is no such thing as a short stop in the rye. It’s always a long stop until the bottle is empty

It’s “ever had,” idiomatic for “Have you ever had …?” And with a better editor, he just might have.

I understand his frustration….I invented 6up soft drink. It failed but was so close!

It fell short of expectations.

When I was in high school, Catcher was (supposedly) banned — so everyone read it!
