   GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING CREW!
   I’m off to be ‘trained’ for working the Toronto International Film Fest.

   WoodEye you just repeated the EXACT same thing that wrecks said over in “Non Sequitur” … I mean, the exact same thing!!!

   And yes, those winds suck sometimes … I live just about a 10 min walk from a City of Toronto garbage truck parking lot … on REALLY HOT days, that smell wafts for a LOT of kilometres LOL

   Good Morning, Crew!!

   Me too! I like when Chip writes himself in.

   Have fun with the training, Allan. When you are working at the Film Fest, let us know the celebrities you spot. Although I live in Toronto, I’ve never been to the festival.

    Yo (ho ho), Crew.

    Doesn’t Chip ever get seasick? Or at least a little queasy from the recursion?

    Love it! Reminds me of trying to brush my dog outside. I was covered in more hair than she was.

    And my Dad says the same thing,*DF*

    Burgundy - I doubt I’ll see any. I’ll be in the theater, with a night vision monocular keeping Green Ship people from stealing the movies that aren’t released.

    Allan, It’s a famous quote….

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    An illustration of Cardinal Richelieu holding a sword, by H. A. Ogden, 1892, from The Works of Edward Bulwer Lytton

    “The pen is mightier than the sword” is a metonymic adage coined by English author Edward Bulwer-Lytton in 1839 for his play Richelieu; Or the Conspiracy.[1][2] The play was about Cardinal Richelieu, though in the author’s words “license with dates and details… has been, though not unsparingly, indulged.”[1] The Cardinal’s line in Act II, scene II, was more fully:[3]

    True, This! —
    
    Beneath the rule of men entirely great,
    
    The pen is mightier than the sword. Behold
    
    The arch-enchanters wand! — itself a nothing! —
    
    But taking sorcery from the master-hand
    
    To paralyse the Cæsars, and to strike
    
    The loud earth breathless! — Take away the sword —
    
    States can be saved without it!
    
    

    The play opened at London’s Covent Garden Theatre on 7 March 1839 with William Charles Macready in the lead role.[4] Macready believed its opening night success was “unequivocal”; Queen Victoria attended a performance on 14 March.[4]

    Here’s the quote without the GoComics editing.

    True, This! —
    Beneath the rule of men entirely great,
    The pen is mightier than the sword. Behold
    The arch-enchanters wand! — itself a nothing! —
    But taking sorcery from the master-hand
    To paralyse the Cæsars, and to strike
    The loud earth breathless! — Take away the sword —
    States can be saved without it!
