   Or like the folks that built or bought in the neighborhood near an old family pig farm, and then demanded that the pig farm had to go, ‘cause it smelled bad when the wind went some way or other? It’s been a while. I’ve forgotten all the details.

   I’d love to see a spoofy Holmes story- or even a regular Holmes story where he’s in a mood- where Holmes says, “But can you give me a hint?” The idea just amuses me.

   When I was a kid writing and drawing a story for school, I tried to use the word “Snuck”, and my dad said it probably wasn’t right, and we should just look it up, ‘cause that was easy and best. So we did. “Snuck” wasn’t a word, according to the dictionary. It was “Sneaked”, and that’s stuck with me all these years. Although I HAVE looked it up again since, and “Snuck” is now a word, and it’s in the dictionary, and becoming more common. Language, like it always has and always will, changes. Or mutates. Or something.

   But honestly, I probably should have used “Snuck” here, except they’re trying to be all Victorian or Edwardian or somebody-ian.

   I checked on it a while back. They have five fingers, and no thumbs. So, yeah- they have more “middle finger” than WE do!

   I was worried when I did this one. I hope everyone got the cue word “old” in there a couple of times…

   The “puddle” was only ankle deep. If you went in head first, of course.

   I believe today’s cartoon is a complete transcription of an entire conversation my wife and I had. “Supposed to”. Bah. There IS NO script on me!

   I couldn’t find either of my kids in a department store once (toy department, of course). I finally just whistled the same notes they both knew I used for our dog. Seriously, I’d been looking for I don’t know HOW long, and saying their names. As soon as I whistled, they both came around a corner of the aisle (one at each end, of course) and both said, simultaneously, “What?”

   That was years ago. It still works.

   “There’s nothing so attractive to a woman than a man being useful.” -some very good comedian, who was right.

    Ha! I walked up behind my wife in a museum once, put my arm around her and stood nice and close. When she looked at me, I said, “Oh, It’s you.” I still contend that it was hilarious- succinct, meaningful, brilliant.

    I still got punched in the ribs.
