    She said “last” name. Not “middle”.

    “Adequate”? Why? Cuz her nose is pointy?

    Hmmm. I think that’s Lord Splendid Humility in that bush. But really, it’s anyone’s guess.

    I really don’t get the obsession with nostrils, but maybe it’s just a Unicorn thing.

    Wasn’t “Howell” a poem by Allen Ginsberg?

    I’ve always wondered if LSH just happens to find a bush whenever he needs to talk to someone or is he wearing bush camouflage so he doesn’t have to.

    So is Phoebe basically an honorary Nostrils family member?

    Phoebe didn’t get to pick her name, but she does get to pick her nose.

    Conspicuous? I can’t even see them! But then again, they’re probably a lot more noticeable from LSH’s point of view.

    Ah, Lord Splendid Humility. It’s been awhile since he last appeared in the strip.

    My surname comes from the German Faßbinder* which means “cooper” (barrel maker).

    *Not my real surname, but it’s a variant thereof.

    I looked it up. (I keep a name dictionary near my desk.) Howell means “remarkable.”
