    The insult would be to print it in CurlzMT or JokerMan.

    Picto, don’t be so set in your ways.

    Let’s face it, looks aren’t a pressing matter.

    BTW MYThreeSons and Konrad I answered you yesterday…in the evening edition.

    The paper looks too stiff to be a soft tissue injury.

    Susan, thanks for answering about the Bones McCoy-Lovely Bones thing, but why did he say “I!” at the end? I am either getting dumber, or this strip is getting stranger—or both.

    Me neither. Does it have something to do with the “type face”?

    My guess is that it’s the print font of injury that’s becoming common – but like I said earlier, the jury is still out on the exact meaning.

    To me it’s just a take-off on the usual meaning of those words.

    The piece of paper went to the doctor cos it has an “injury” — i.e. it has the word “injury” printed on it.

    The doctor is telling him "we see a lot of “injury” in that type"…. where “type” means “typeface” or “font”.

    And yeah, lots of good ones on here today.

    Konrad, I thought the “I” was just mocking the formal way Star Trek characters often speak.

    So he says “I!” instead of “me!”…. though I don’t recall McCoy doing as much of that as Kirk.

    MyThreeSons — well, sarcasm and I are old friends. :)

    And as I said yesterday, very few of us are so very much younger, so don’t blame your age. “Spring Chicken Estates” this ain’t.

    One word of (unsolicited) advice, though, please…. best to keep e-mail conversation to e-mail.

    Then the rest of us won’t feel left out, and you won’t accidentally make someone else’s opinions unintendedly public.

    Why is brevity losing it?
