   The cartoonist forgot one: “Twist and Trout” by the iconic music duo “Krill” Medley and “Perch” Russell.

   Pastis has failed to “mackerel” for himself as a great cartoonist :D

   Mike Peters stole that joke! It’s a really old one.

   My parents used to get me those tiny “worry dolls” when I was a kid. When I was in a rough patch, they would slip one under my pillow when tucking me in before bed. Amazingly, they worked! My present skeptical mind, of course, wonders if these were cases of attribution bias, and that my worries would have diminished by themselves.

   And that’s the “lucky ones” (the ones Hitler and Hirohito would choose to let live due to sufficiently “pure” blood). It would be a non-issue for Jews and other people of “mixed race,” because they would all be killed or hunted down for execution (it is a misconception that Hitler wanted to kill everyone who wasn’t White. He had no problem, in concept, with letting Blacks, Asians, etc. live, as long as they were the “pure” renditions of their respective races. His issue with Jews, Slavs, Roma, etc. was that they were supposedly a mixture of the major categories of White (German) and Black, White and Asian, etc. He hated racial mixing more than the existence of different races as such, never mind that every race today is probably a mixture of races from some ancient past. Heck, most humans today, excluding certain sub-Saharan African groups, are a mix of Cro-Magnon and Neanderthal or Cro-Magnon and Denisovan).

   To those who have seen the recent Garfield movie: Where in the timeline do the events of that movie fit relative to the comic strip continuity?

   Actually, in German music notation, “H” indicates the note that is named “B” in other countries. If you look at old Bach manuscripts that indicate that a piece is in “H moll,” this means, in English, that it is in B Minor (H dur means B Major). In Germany, they do use the letter B, but to mean what English speakers (and most other countries) mean by B flat. The more you know.

   I would pick the hands for feet. Our apelike ancestors millions of years ago had this trait, similar to today’s apes. It was useful for climbing trees. Granted, we might not easily be able to perform long-distance walking or running on the ground, but all evolution involves trade-offs.

    That’s a classic Marx Brothers or Abbott and Costello-type joke.
