Mariner’s saying: “When you ‘round the horn, beware the foghorn’s blast!”

That could be a windy port.

There are no words.

A spanking-new lighthouse was built on the river upon Benson Butte.

“Down in Mississippi Where the Boats Go ‘Tush.’”

Lost his airbud

The locals call it “Moon Rock”.

The view from there is breath-taking

!?!

Moon river, wider than a mile / I’m crossing you in style some day / Oh, dream maker, / you heart breaker / Wherever you’re goin’, I’m goin’ your way

The Kraken’s clueless cousin.

And this is why you don’t get into petty arguments with the Corp of Engineers!

The Lighthouse of Alexander—one of the “Wonder Whys?” of the ancient world.

The lighthouse on the grassy knees! How quaint!

The New Colonossus

Prehensile lighthouses run in the Bricke family.

I think I can see where they put the outhouse.

Keister Island.

The poor lighthouse keeper was the constant butt of sailor jokes

“Fire when ready, Gridley!”

I think it’s a pop-up tramp stamp.

I see the bad moon arising,

I see trouble on the way…

— Creedence Clearwater Revival

I think that’s located in Butt Island Sound.

The colossus of commodes

Land’s End?

The largest Flambé Bleu (Blue Flame) lighthouse in history!

Mr Kliban and Mr Thompson and Mr Watterson regularly provide better comics with their reruns than many others who dish out something new every day. Some of those others you might consider to be on their level. We all have our favourites, and I will not begrudge you yours, but these three are on my list of the better ones.

I’ll not name my faves, but I think yours are just as valid.
