Present company excepted, of course

Several people have dropped in and asked, “OK, so where’s the backstory?” I guess that can be one of the drawbacks of the blogging format: “The moving finger writes, and, having writ, moves on.” I explained several days back that the critical Mary Lou comic strips from the past would be presented here on a daily basis. However, that was several days back, and anyone reading today’s entry wouldn’t necessarily know that. So, to see the whole story to date, you must scroll down a few days, to Aug. 13, to be exact. That’ll catch you up.
