As a writer who is successful, D.B., I would applaud you on your writing ability. You deserve a medal. Specifically, I appreciate how you cover some of the most difficult topics in a humorous manner. In fact, I have been borrowing the way you turn serious subjects into fodder for chuckles in some of my work.
Thanks!
No prob.
Mr. Bell - I do enjoy your strip very much. Today's cartoon make me wonder if you're a fan of the annual Bulwer-Lytton bad writing contest? The 2011 results are now out.
I've scanty heard of it.
2011 results are not on Google yet. Do you go to San Jose State? When I read exerpts of the winners, I really enjoyed them. I wonder why they were voted as winners of bad writing? This deals with tongue in cheek humor, but I enjoy that kind.

Hmm. Again, I found the Bulwer Lytton entries ENJOYABLE to read! Thanks for the link!
Then again, I really love PUNS and use them in my conversations nearly every day.
Wait -- what was Roxanne doing in the produce section?
If anyone was less likely to be a vegetarian, it's Roxanne.
(D.B., feel free to have Lemont criticize the above sentence.)
I am reminded of Bunnicula.
Man, I loved those books when I was a kid.
