   I know the dictionary allows it, but I still think “minuscule” with an I in the fourth slot is just sad.

   Irregardless….. Actually, the word that makes my teeth grind and the hair on the back of my neck stand up is…..normalcy. Really? What IS that? (It’s already in the dictionary)

   We may not LIKE that modern dictionaries continue to reflect common usage (I hate much of it myself), but a study of the language shows that it IS the case since even before Chaucer’s time.

    it would be fun if Dougie and thatababy could be friends and visit each other’s strips! Does thatababy have a name even?

    You’re no fun at all. You have your fun your way and we’ll have our fun our way. But if you want to keep reminding people these are comic strips (duh!) and telling us you’d rather have us discuss only topics you like, go right ahead. You have my permission.

    Sophie is just seeking her own mass moment. and the more mass she acquires, the more mass she acquires. (not a typo)
