   Carl Sanders sounds like a creep. Also the trend of blondes becoming redheads seems to have reversed. Linda also seems to have grown up.

     There will be at least one redhead later this month. Monday’s Last Kiss star is more of a brownish redhead.

   Take it easy on the exclamation points.

     Using exclamation points instead of periods is a comic book tradition. (Or at least it was when the original romance and superhero comics were done.) Because of poor printing, periods would sometimes disappear. So, comics went to exclamation marks—which were more likely to survive and show up.

     I’ve been keeping this tradition alive—at least so far!!!

       Thanks for the explanation of the exclamation marks. I always thought they overwhelmed comics. BTW, you may be interested in the comments in today’s Mary Worth over a balloon with just ! in it.

       Today’s Pearls Before Swine is also relevant. Who would have thunk it?

       Does Elite come with it?

       But I only thought that Linda was Irish.
