My guess isa that the designer was a twelve to sixteen year old boy. Because that's about the age range to think that was funny.

No, I must disagree slightly. Whatever you choose to wear is in this year. I don't think you could look frumpy (or even less than marvelous) in a cardigan over an old-fashioned nightgown over a potato sack over bloomers. And I STILL look forward to your long, intelligent threads!

"My sister looks cute in her bracers and boots...." I'm in favor of suspenders. Please, do find a way!

I rather miss it. Harold waas serious levels of funny, and his typing was amazing, considering the whole "paws, not fingers" thing....

I miss a lot of the old school guys, and Mr. Giordano is definitely one of them.

This one looks familiar. Did he maybe used to have a Twitter account all his own? Or am I misremembering?

So, you're basically saying "Hey, people, GO LEARN AND INSTALL LINUX," that's what your'e saying? Look, I don't know if anyone's told you, but many, many people LOATHE all the AI stuff that exists. It's costing PEOPLE jobs, and it's HELL on the environment! STOP, ALREADY, YOU KNOBS!

I don't know if it ever happened, but I'll bet one of the "right inkers" was Dick Giordano. That man could probably have made ME look good, and *I can't draw even a LITTLE BIT!*

Yeah, but if I recall correctly, the first time/couple of times you covered someone's shift, it was so they could sit around and talk to people in the workplace... and if it's the same person, well, sod them for a complete bag o' maggots. Also, still sorry, still wish I could help.

Setting up serial killer clues (for a work of fiction, relax!) that are meant to be solved *after the planned finale* that the killings are meant to cover? Yeah, that's a real pain in the neck. Fun, in a twisted, word-puzzle-fanatic way, but... a pain in the neck!

Even as a agressive anti-theist, I find that song to be beautiful. Love your visual representation!

Do you ever find yourself asking what kind of parent teaches that to a young child? My mother forced it on my sister and I, and I think it has something to do with my initial doubt about any god existing. (My sister never taught her kids that one, good on her.)

@peterclines.bsky.social, I don't know if you'pe interested, but there is a new series, co-authored by the original author's daughter, called "New Three Investigators." Six books/ebooks of 26 planned are out now, and they're following the Kinsey Millhone formula, going alphabetically.

Oh, nifty. Maybe I can catch some of them as ebooks on sale. Thank you!

I loved that series to pieces. I'd love to see them bring it back, reprints or original. (It's *Alfred Hitchcock.* Have his ghost do the intros, it'd ring true to me! He never made actual supernatural stuff, sure, but he was AMAZING at creepy!)
