Brevity by Dan Thompson for June 03, 2022

Lots of people don’[ even know who Alf is.

That’s reaching waaaaaaay back.

So that’s why there weren’t cats in Middle Earth.

Second day in a row the strip makes a reference I’ve never heard of.

he looks like he’s daydreaming about buzzards on a gut wagon…

The book title says, “Spells for Cats”. “Spells Using Cats” (as an ingredient) seems like a more appropriate title for Gand-Alf.

This is a fairly accurate way Woods said his name in the movies.

Awww! Wish he would come back….

Dan’s syllabication is correct. Tolkien borrowed the name from an Old Norse text in which the name’s meaning was Wand Elf.

lord of the zings

HA!
