    It’s sad when a once gifted cartoonist starts phoning it in (low hanging fruit is so, so beneath you. What’s next? Lasagna jokes? “Love is” mockery? Fictional reader family reunion photos?)

    When she decides to “mock” us*Sometimes the bon mot justeIs employed (and then she’s joyous)Obscurity’s a plus!

    * Arkies

    P.S. Speaking of Arkies: >>> Arkansas lawmakers order schools to teach cursive writing <<

    Kids who can’t write in cursive, can’t read it either. Signatures are generally written in cursive. Are kids expected to grow up signing their signatures in print?

    Arkansas dot come slash travelguide is the answer to a prayer, if you want to relax in a natural hot spring spa or take on large mouth bass in the many lakes in the area. Lake Ouchita is especially commodious, with many interesting features guaranteed to be attractive to the big ones who like to lurk in the shallows.When I was a child, I would listen to KAAY at night, as their signal covered two thirds of the US after dark. But that world is gone now. You can never go home. Sometimes, that is a good thing, though. The exile of the dispossessed can be acceptable, if one can adapt to the changes.

    Lakes? Hills? Arkansas is favored by abutting Louisiana and Texas (and others), so why stop there? I have passed through, on my way to elsewhere, and lived for a brief portion of my youth in Texas. But there are other vacation planning guides that would bump Arkansas way down from 14th on my prayer list! Must be something about Teresa, or the guy in the body-noose….

    Dear Mr. Tour

    What could have possibly abused you of the notion that my son’s name is “Ralph?” That’s such a (I really hate to use such strong language on that nice Ms. Teresa’s cartoonery venue) cockamamie idea I don’t even know where to begin much less how to respond.

    Ralph is such an upper Midwestern name. We, sir, are are proud Southerners.There are no Arkies named Ralph. Repeat: … Ralphs > Arkansas.

    Sincerely,

    Rotifer’s Mother

    P.S. WTF?

    P.P.S. As for your attempt to demean The Bear State by referring its Kansian pronounciation, a pox on your house. Kansas’ namesake city is not even in Kansas.

    P.P.P.S. I’m truly sorry for the “pox” remark. That was uncalled for. I’ll say 3 “Hail Willards” at the next W.C.T.U. meeting.

    I spent a night in Arkansas once, long ago; at Uncle Frank’s (yes, there are Franks in Arkansas). He told me, “I don’t want to be king, I just want to be the king maker.” That changed my whole life. I suggest you all go visit Uncle Frank at least for one night. Just don’t forget to lock the bedroom door. It may be better not to sleep.
