    The bit of reversed newspaper text is from a story titled “The Female Blondin” (about a woman tight-rope performer) in The Illustrated London News in 1861. The book “How To Keep Your Husband Happy” is by William Orr in 1958. Here’s an excerpt:

    Last time I tried to say it with 28% copper, my fillings hurt for a week.

    Pasta Down For Coppers would be a good title for a NYT best-seller about mental health options for cartoonisters and Their readers.

    I remember when Wilma sang;

    Make your hobby, hubby

    Keep your hubby happy

    When he’s a little chubby

    He’s the happy pappy

    I’ve said it with flowers, candy, and even pottery… but I’ve never said it with copper. Maybe that’s my problem with women. (I don’t know ANY women who would follow those “Christian” guidelines. It sounds great and all, but ultimately, I’m not sure I’d expect any woman to give up who she is for my comfort and convenience.) With such an enlightened attitude, you’d think the chicks would be knocking down my door, instead of knocking it down to get away from me. Go figure. Sorry to vent here. Feeling down in the relationship department. Need a good woman. I wonder if it’s because my skin is blue. Any tips? Where can I meet a good woman in Froglandia? (The bath mat factory is mostly filled with women wearing hairnets, not fishnets, and who wear big granny panties)

    I like the yellow duckling. Reminds me of a story my big sister used to read to about a little duck named Ping. I’m not sure but I think it was one of those racist titles stereotypical of Asians, kind of like Little Black Sambo.

    Afloat in a bowl of cheap canned spaghetti, hubby is kept happy and snappy (in accordance with good Christian Guidance) with an amazing 28% copper input!

    —His trousers must be a bit soggy by now (if he has them on)….

    I’m not sure this is a win-win circumstance. How snappy is soggy?
