Transcript:
Mrs. Olsen: Any questions? Caulfield: Do you believe in the loch ness monster? Mrs. Olsen: Where did that come from? Caulfield: Um...loch ness? We've established she's a believer but a little slow with the obvious details. Frazz: I think that helps sometimes.

I love Caulfield’s rhetorical Moebius strip! This is akin to asking someone, “Are you still beating your wife?”

Cryptids — a fascinating subject! My iPhone dictionary had a long list of such from around the world. Enough to keep one’s imagination going all day. Loved it!
