Whistling Past the Graveyard 2015

What Yellon may have thought of this take down is unknown since he never seems to have written to a comic again rather shifting his attention to Sports Illustrated where he had a letter published on May 20, 1974 (Yellon 1974).

My own morbid curiosity...

PUNISHMENT
Sir:
I just read the story about outrageous puns in SCORECARD ("Organ Stops and Desist," April 29). Sorry about this, but here is one more from a diehard Chicago Cub fan:

Reuschel on down and see the never Frailing Cubs. Start a Hooton and a hollerin' as much as you can. They're sure to beat the Cardenals and the rest of the National League clubs. With a Mitter like wald's behind the plate, how can they lose? Anyone can see they have the division title Mad-locked up (as well as Lockmaned). Monday or any day of the week the Cubs will win. You'll be seeing Morales of them come October.
ALVIN YELLON
Highland Park, Ill.

He's gotten worse since then.

That is literally one of the worst things I've ever read.

I restrained myself from posting that one. Figured it might be a bridge too far (and that Chuck might try to take credit for it anyways).

Nah. You got all the credit.

(I meant you'd take the credit for Al's puns. Something something Dead Parrot.)

Ah. No, I'd never take credit for that. I don't even take credit for the Dead Cubbies. I just like pointing out that he's not only terrible, but that he steals his terrible as well.

Racist.

In a stunning development, I don't understand this Wheezer post.  Is your profile picture a screenshot from "The Goodies", though?

1. The Arnhem reference made perfect sense to me at the time.

2. Yes, from "Snooze," which features a superior version of "Show Me the Way" to that on the LP.

You people with your sense of decency or humanity-- this is deadpool.

There were easier pickings* in this realm, mind you.

* "Traditional, alternative treatments" means Brian Clement in Florida, who was on my candidate list. Next on his roster is Laurie Hill's daughter. (Laurie Hill isn't actually a Six Nations resident proper, which is why there was a to-do to start with.)

Ah, the Six Nations.  Finally, Wheezer's written something that I understand without having to look it up.  Didn't have you down as a rugby fan, though, Wheeze.

(also, I've fixed your link)

EDIT: links, actually.  Way to Morphlink.

Jesus, those stories are tragic.

And Wheez is totally right - those were EASY picks. 

Gonna have to research harder next year.

Seriously, though. I do (and will) feel really guilty about that pick. I'm not rooting for it to happen (but I'm pretty confident it's going to happen).

That's sincerely great. Really happy news for the family.

I'll hold off on her next year. But come Deadpool 2085? SHE'S POTENTIALLY BACK ON THE LIST.

After all you've done, this is the moment you finally feel shame?

Who is the Steve Smith on ChuckD's list?

Is that the football player?
