Denny Dimwit

Cartoonist Martin Branner created this undated color greeting for the Johnson children featuring the popular character Denny Dimwit from his comic strip Winnie Winkle. It has water stains but still looks pretty decent. It was sold on eBay on December 21 for a paltry $57.78.

Writers, Embrace the Cause!

Despite eleven years of more or less daily online subversion, I have as yet been unable to get any legitimate dictionary to include the word bloggery. The word, which I was not the first to coin but was the first to overuse, is listed only in the online Urban Dictionary where it was derided in 2006 as a sort of blog blather. Even worse, to the monumental OED it is considered a non-word. I therefore urge careful writers to use the noble new word bloggery whenever appropriate, particularly in print, and to forward any and all citations to those stodgy old lexicographers at the OED.
