I know, right? We are not boys. We are manly men here! .... even the women.

Interesting how the blog just started on December 25, and that you just joined the fora on the 28th.

Fess up! :mrgreen:

That one's not so bad, as my mind read it in the appropriate accents and automatically changed the last two lines to: "You're a bit late Dougal" "Sorry Ted"

I just realized, I don't actually read the comic anymore, and I just visit the forums.

Regards,

Devoted.


Point of suggestion -- instead of ending all blog posts with that tagline, while not get creative along the lines of Dear Abby?

Stuff like:
Thank you.
-- GRIEF-STRICKEN SISTER IN MICHIGAN

or

-- CAN'T GET A WORD IN, IN NORTH CAROLINA

I'll be the first to admit "I don't get it."

Neither did Mrs Trellis.


"Dear Thesaurus,

I'll admit confusion when I rented Jurassic Park the other day and found no mention of you. How strange that such a mighty specimen of the great lizards that once walked the earth should be absent. Hopefully you didn't take it too hard.

Yours, Mrs Trellis.

P.S.- Congratulations on your new book.

P.P.S.- I think something's wrong with my dictionary.

In the spirit of self-promoting threads, I thought I'd send this Your Art & Links way.
