    Mantovani? There’s a name I haven’t heard in decades. I blame his music for giving me diabetes.

    I have to admit, as someone who has had many a yard sale, this made me literally laugh out loud!

    Mantovani had a few UK and US hits in the 50s, including “Cara Mia” and the theme from “Moulin Rouge”. My mother had several of his albums. Very schmaltzy, but, hey, it was the 50s.

    I still like Mantovani. I go to accuradio.com, click on “beautiful music,” and he’s there…so are many others like Percy Faith, etc. Lots of genres, including many rock derivations.

    It wouldn’t work, Mrs. (?) Avis — Lucille has a witness who can testify that you pushed her buttons.

    Re the title panel:

    That plane towing the banner is flying in the wrong direction for the words on the banner to appear like that. In the real world, if such a plane were flying left-to-right as this one is drawn doing, the words on the banner would appear backwards.

    I never like stories of jerk versus jerk. I can’t root for either side.

    My old landlord once had a particularly annoying customer at his house sale. He took the guy by his collar and belt and threw him out the front door!

    This is one reason why I prefer to just donate stuff to charity instead of participating in our neighborhood yard sales: all the crazy people who show up at 5 am (even though the sign says the sale starts at 9 am) and ask ridiculous questions. It’s like a sport with those folks…
