Revenge Is a Dish

by Jimmy Johnson


I noticed a question has arisen: how does one spell the nickname of Ludwig, the cat? Well, I can tell you that the nickname should rhyme with “moody.” Apparently, I have spelled it differently in the strip over the years, as some of you have observed. (That’s the problem with digital archives and comments.) Anyway, my task is to produce a phonetic spelling that sounds like “moody.” To me, “Luddie” should be pronounced “LUHDdie,” so that won’t work. “Ludie” might be better, but a vestige of confusion remains. That, of course, leaves “Loodie” or “Loody.” In the future, owing to the “moody” example, let’s go with “Loody.” Also, it’s one less letter than “Loodie,” and you might be amazed how much that can help in certain deadline situations. OK, that’s settled. The reason I haven’t been consistent in the past is, I haven’t given the issue nearly as much thought as some of you. But thanks for thinking of me!

    But he is my slut puppy and he got his own woman who wears the underwear. He says Rich Widow Lady took him bra shopping but he gets to breast shop with me and lingerie. And the lingerie shop was having their tenth anniversary party with champagne, strawberries, brownies, cookies and gifts. They loved Sickens and Ghost.

    Women love the Ghost.

    @Ghost and Jackie,

    Symply thankful she is out and in recovery. Waiting rooms are the Fargone worst, but at least you already have the news and it was good.
