a) I am embarrassed to have missed a “Far Side” reference.
b) You have an AUTOGRAPHED copy of that book? I don’t really do autographs, but *that* is one that I would cherish. Wow.
(Lest you feel alone: many years ago, I happened to be getting a copy of The Cartoon History of the Earth signed by Larry Gonick. When I reached the head of the queue, he asked me, “So, what’s your favorite dinosaur?” That not being a question I have an actual answer for, I said, “Uh… ichthyosaur?” He GLARED at me. “That’s not a dinosaur! It’s a reptile!” This is why my copy of the work includes a Larry Gonick sketch of an ichthyosaur saying, “`Dinosaur.’ Can you imagine?”)
Thago-what? Something’s screwed up in the rendering of the page and the picture’s all covered up. Is that the key to the joke? What am I missing? DON’T LEAVE ME HANGING HERE!
