“Capital idea, Nicholas! I leave this bleak house with great expectations!”

What the Dickens is he talking about?

How about a copy of Grate Expectations? No? Funny, you’ve got a lot of books here.

Yeah, y’know, our mutual friend, she had some hard times.

Take that story, ’n write ’er down, with all of ’er twists.

OK, OK, you’re right. I give up!

Grooooan. :)

I have many books that are collections of comic strips—Peanuts, Dilbert, The Other Coast, Andy Capp, Calvin & Hobbes, Far Side, etc. My grandkids love to read them when they come. I have written to Steve Skelton to encourage him to give it a try.

When the ancient Romans scrolled down, it was a bit different from the way we do it……..

Bah dum tisshhhh

There’s an annual “Dickens Festival” in St George Utah and also in some suburb of Salt Lake City. I go to the St George one every year…early December. Lots of Christmas exhibits, short stage plays (such as Scrooge in Christmas Carol, Oliver, etc. I recommend this Festival highly.

looks like the publisher’s worried about falling on hard times…
