“What’s a 5-letter word for a woman who’s both a barracuda and a pitbull?” I don’t know, tell me. I don’t do crossword puzzles, I do Soduku. (Actually, my favorites…

For Illustration Friday, of course! Guess what the topic is. LATE. As I always complain I am. Fortunately, the pleasant people at IF never complain. I hardly ever do single/dating…
“Waiter, there’s a string of pearls in my oyster stew.” Illustration Friday, of course. What else would get me to write something during this horrible, confusing week? I hate the…
“I just told him to pack his bags, get out, and send me large checks.”
Of course, this is a New Yorker cartoon, or SHOULD be a New Yorker one. Tell it to Mankoff. This is for the Illustration Friday topic of PACKED.

Sarah Palin as a child, about all the heads of
