You two take care! There are a lot of great Thurber spots. They are not recorded in the bibliography, alas.

I love these. Reminds me of Mad Magazine who used to do a similar thing, I think? (I’m addition to “Spy vs Spy” which was awesome marginalia.) thanks for these treats, best wishes for healing all cartoonists in the house.

Too bad your husband won't switch over to Substack. It would be so much easier to read him here.

I know! I may start a Substack of his cartoons. Stay tuned.

What a sweet post. So love seeing the Thurbers. Such elegance and eloquence in each line.

Very bummed about MMs covid. Do wish he’d waited until yours was done, but, Men! 😉

Actually may both please be well soon

My advice: Order out for chicken soup, and only consume news a total of one hour per day. That’ll help.

And sleep.

Thanks, DeeDee. We are doing well, it seems! I am only getting the basics in news, it's so upsetting.

Share and share alike. (What does that even mean?)

I believe it means no cheating. Possibly in a family sitting where you know the participants.

Relatives in from Ireland. Went to the local Maritime Center and petted a sturgeon and stingray. Very calming. I wanted to climb in with them and be at peace, but the lady caretaker said I couldn't. Oh well. Hope you and himself get better fast.

Campbells chicken soup with noodles. Love the noodles. Hey, FL is having a tough go over Covid. I don' t think they believe in science so no telling what will happen there.

Love Thurber. His cartoons were always distinctive and I loved his drawing style. You have such a generous heart and now, it seems, germs. I sincerely hope both cases are mild and you can get back to feeling normal soon. Get well.

Excellent idea. Sometimes husbands can be a little stubborn, mine included
