say goodnight gracie

You know, you can now play Five Card Nancy on the web, with classic Ernie Bushmiller Nancy Strips.

Really and truly, Five Card Nancy should be played late at night with bits of paper and several players and a bunch of people around kibbitzing. But if you have to play it alone... http://www.7415comics.com/nancy/index.html will explain all.

And Pam Noles was my escort at San Diego. She made sure that I got from place to place on time. She made sure I ate, and told people that, no, I couldn't sign for them but I was doing a signing upstairs, and all that. At one point she even let me know that I'd gone sort of sheet white and had stopped making sense, and that she'd let the people I was meant to be eating with know I'd not be there, while I slept for an hour instead.

This means that when Pam asked if I'd do a favour for her, and plug a convention she's helping to organise, I was happy to say yes:
