Unsocial Distancing

by John | Apr 18, 2021 | Uncategorized

Last Friday’s comic came with a challenge. It mentioned two real women by their first names: “Bettie” and “Bunny.”

I asked readers to guess the full names of the women. I offered no prize, but said the first person to do so would have “the glory of knowing you’re cooler than everyone else.”

Therefore let it be known that Tom Duffy guessed first and correctly: “Bettie Page” (famed pinup model from the 1950s) and “Bunny Yeager” (Page’s most famous photographer.)

So forevermore—at least for now—Tom Duffy is officially “cooler than everyone else!”

Congrats, Tom!
