“You’ve got to hand it to the Venus de Milo he said disarmingly.”
“Somebodyowesmeroyalties” said Tom, Swiftly.
“These are drawn a bit funny.” the cartoonist said comically.
Many decades ago when these were a trend, they were called “Swifties”, after “Tom Swift”, an early science-fiction hero.
“I always get us mixed up, too”, said Frank – being ernest.
I loves to flies with bubble gum power, said Heathcliff robotically.
Nice! I wondered who would understand Tom Swift
I think Frank looked very earnest!
Surely you jest, said Shirley jokingly.
LOL!
Great strip today! (I barely got that out)
“We should go to Hawaii”, Billy stated.
“Let’s go camping,” said Tom intently.
I want some frozen dairy dessert, I screamed.
“I love hot dogs!" he said frankly. (And with great relish.)
The Squirrel or Rat or whatever it is should apologize to the readers also along with all the corny commenters.
“Y’all got it covered” he said SaranWrappidly …!
(okay, okay … it’s a strrretch … is serendipitly better?)
I love Tom Swifties.
“Nope, I don’t want any cocaine,” Garfield snorted.
These are very clever. I enjoyed them and the comments!
This is one of the great ones, said Tommy confidently.
“We don’t tell jokes on my space station,” Brewster Rockit said siriusly.
“Where has my dog gotten to now?” Superboy said kryptically.
Gee and I thought puns were bad.
Is that Richie Rich in bed?
I thought the Tom Swifty name started because the author used Tom immediately before the adverb, as in “Duck!” said Tom fowly. It sounded like his name was Tom Fowly.
“Hand me the Mrs. Butterworth’s under the table.” said Tom, syrup-titiously. (My own, thank you.)
“Today’s strip is so funny!” Tom said comically.
I don’t know when I have enjoyed a comic strip AND all the comments any more than I have today! Thank you X 10,000!!!!!!!
I’m totally into automatic transmission, said Tom shiftlessly. I only use Colgate, said Tom crestfallenly.
