    I’d say Tom Sawyer or Huck Finn, but I don’t think so. I never am able to figure out what he is.

    I’m thinking Hemingways “Old Man and the Sea” personally.

    Lots of elements to put together but no solution. Will have to wait – as usual.

    if it wasn’t for the fishing pole, I’d have guessed Charlie Brown and his kite…

    Yes.I was thinking Intruder in the Dust, but I think The Grapes of Wrath is more likely.

    I don’t think that’s dust. I think it’s the fishing line unraveling.

    My thought was Moby Dick because in the end, Ahab gets entangled in the line of the harpoon.

    That’s what I’m thinking. Remember, last Thursday’s strip referenced Hemingway.

    Halloween week! Time once again for Caulfield’s costume to be based on great literature. Enjoy.

    Speaking of costumes, yesterday was my local open-water-swim cadre’s annual Vampire Swim. It’s the invention of Phil White, a member of my wider open-water-swim cadre. He started it in Vermont, and we’ve hopped on it along with a bunch of other groups around the country. It’s nationwide but as grass-roots as it gets: You get together for a swim on a date close to Halloween, and then you swim. Costumes optional, but urged. Wetsuits optional, but urged against, though not very hard. Swim length dependent on water temperature and toughness (in our case, 48º and not very freezin’ far). Fun mandatory. Cost of entry is a recent or promised blood/platelet/money donation to the Red Cross. I like a costume I don’t have to take off to swim in, and this year I wore a swimsuit (yes, that kind) with Jack-O-Lantern faces all over it. Then I covered my pumpkin-shaped and -textured head in orange face paint with black eyes and a big smile, got a pair of black-tinted Swedish socket goggles and rigged them with an orange bungee and nose bridge. Fastened a pumpkin stem to the top of my head and I was good to go. Good to go, unfortunately, by way of picking up a big load of coffee and hot chocolate at Starbucks. As I walked into the cafe, orange head a-blazing, the staff reacted … not a bit. Like guys with Surf-Fur parkas and Jack-O-Lantern heads come through the door all the time. When I told the story at the beach, one of my fellow swimmers, another Jeff, explained it: “That corporate sensitivity training was really effective.”

    I think he may be going non-fiction and “fishing for dirt”, so therefore an investigative reporter.

    I’m not sure what to make of it, but that “sort of” in the first frame must mean something.
