Mae day
Forgive me for playing a little catch-up after a long blogsnooze. And forgive me for being late in taking the opportunity to promote a worthy cause: the National Association of Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive. Watch for it next year.
Or, if the Family Circus comic strip has any say in it, “Wach four itt neckst yeer.” I appreciate familial circus support, but couldn’t Bil Keane’s promotional art have been a little less cute, with non-precocious Billy pointing out that the date of the drive was “Satidy May 9″?
Well, at least he spelled “May” right. What explains young Billy’s spelling? Perhaps Josh over at Comics Curmudgeon has the answer.
Meantime, back at the land of superbig spiral notebooks, let’s appreciate the unfortunate message: Letter Carriers will forgive misspellings—even on envelopes, perhaps? If they’re so forgiving of spelling, why do all my letters addressed to “Bill” Keane come back as “undeliverable as addressed”?

Keane is in hiding. When he comes out, he’ll send a postcard.

Where have you gone, Bill Brohaugh? The Internet misses you. I don’t know what to do with my words. They’re starting to get ordinary.
