Brevity by Dan Thompson for November 14, 2019

I hope “Wait, Wait, Don’t Spay Me” is on next!

Didn’t know Hobbes had a first name. Thought Hobbes WAS his first (and only) name.

Just to save somebody else the trouble of Googling….

Jeremy Hobson and Robin Young are the co-hosts of “Here & Now”….

an NPR radio “magazine” program, originated and now co-produced with WBUR in Boston.

So you see … for this parody, “Here and Meow” is hosted by two cats…

Jeremy Hobson has been renamed " Jeremy Hobbeson"….

And I recognise that he’s being portrayed by Hobbes, of “Calvin and Hobbes.”

Robin Young has been renamed Robin Catcher-Young…

but I’m not familiar with the blue kitty character, and don’t know her name or provenance….

though it presumably has something in common with “Robin Young.”

Anybody?

I don’t mean to step on the humor…..

but I was at sea, as I sometimes find myself in the Brevity Cultural Literacy Test.

Stay tuned for Fresh Hair with Furry Gross…

So far we’ve discussed the fine art of lacerating leather furniture, and the benefits to the claws.
