Following my recent Monkees-related posts there was Sunday’s Jumble That Scrambled Word Game. My offspring solved the obvious answer to the cartoon before I saw the paper. In the school tradition of “be sure to show your work,” I filled in the blanks to confirm his solution.
The Comics Curmudgeon weblog, that I believe predates this one, carries on. Unlike this safe online haven, the site is monetized, so you will see ads.
Gently nudging the strange internal illogics of comic strips is something I usually leave to the Curmudgeon. The Family Circus is an easy target, with Sunday’s installment being as unsettling as it is reassuring, in a way that’s unique to the feature.
“Here I am, Billy! Come to the light, Billy!” In Curmudgeon fashion I will point out if that isn’t Bill’s knee, his death dream was apparently a wet one.
