(He better hope that she’s just “standoffish”, ’cause Lucy ain’t playing! She will beat Calvin like a rug! This was a great way for the guys to close out the week. None of the clue words were new, but all of the jumbles were. The answer letter layout was phenomenal! I don’t think there was anything obvious about it, and I bet a good number of you struggled to get the answer. I almost made it into an Uncle Rave’s Wiseguy of the Month contest, as I thought it was that good, but I don’t have the time or energy for those anymore. The cartoon is great. I really miss Calvin and Hobbes. It was such a great comic strip. I think Peanuts is all syndicated re-runs these days. It’s very conventional, but it also has an endearing universal quality to it. Have a great Memorial Day Weekend, friends. Be well and do good.) — YUR
