I'm hoping our new comic feature "Faldage and Plutarch" will boost our circulation around here .... I am reminded of "Waiting for Godot"Good one, ASp.  You are a better stand-in for our stand-up than our last stand-in. I take it Faldage is on sab-cat-ical. Send-up my best wishes to Faldage, will you. Tell him "Faldage and Plutarch" is running out of gas without him. We may have to fall back on reruns.  I'm thinking of rerunning my own personal favorite "What is a word?" [You remember "What is a word?" "It's also a pronoun." ] "Faldage and Plutarch". "Laurel and Hardy" for the AWAD generation

When talking among the family I tend to use "funnies" -"Have you finished with the funnies, yet?"
but when looking at an index I look for comics.

Best current use of 'funny papers' before recycling: kid gift wrap.

It's best to wrap them when they're asleep. You can cut out Charlie Brown and Sally Forth for the eye holes, and Ziggy for the breathing hole; those "funnies" won't be missed.

Faldage:
I find it interesting you name your funnies after a type of pear. Comices normally have greenish-yellow skin. Or perhaps it's yellowish-green skin. I can never tell.

Welcome aBoard, AniamL, but the words comices (pronounced KAH mih seez) and comices (pronounced KOH mih seez) are no more the same word than are cleave and cleave, or, for that matter, polish and Polish.

Yes, I was being facetious. :D And if you mention polish and Polish, you might as well mention August and august. What is it called when a word changes pronunciation when capitalized, anyway? There must be a word for it.
