Kliban by B. Kliban for April 30, 2021

Give him a sheet of paper with “See other side” printed on both sides.

He doesn’t know if he’s coming or going.

…came or went…

Hey, Ernie … where ya been lately?

- – Here and there, – - – - – you know.

Let’s pick up the pace.

But, a major conundrum. He is neither here nor there.

A cricket pitch without the wickets?

The secret is that he’s always “here” no matter where he is.

…and everywhere.

And everywhere.

So you CAN get from here to there….

All day long I’ve been asking people what time it is, and everybody gives me a different answer.

Where are points A and B?

Such was the rare and beautiful mind that was Kliban….sigh

That’s neither here nor there.

Will we ever get there?

Stuck in the middle without you?

No matter where you go, there you are

Back N forth

To and froe

Reminds me of ELO’s ‘Evil Woman’, “So just make some miles between here and there”…

OH! The irony!!!

All he needs is a “You are Here” placard.

Is that Alley Oop?

Who says there’s no There there?

Did he ever do the three-pointed sequel, with the posts labelled various combinations of “Lather”, “Rinse” and “Repeat”?

Isn’t that a Beatles song?

Caught between here and there.

That’s about the only part I understand about the game of cricket.
