Pardon My Purse
Ten years from now, when this shows up again as a repeat, I’ll use the subject line “2020 Called…” and note that as late as the Pandemic Era, a cross-dressing reference was still acceptable as punchline (just as, ten years earlier than that, “fear of being thought if as gay” was still good for a chuckle).

Your own suggested captions appeared in yesterday’s post.
Virgil’s Elephant
It took me way too long to find the original caption for this Virgil Partch comic. And when I did… major disappointment. Sorry, Virg.
So let’s see whether we can come with something better (and please don’t say anything if you happen to know what the caption was).
I’ll post the actual caption Thursday afternoon.
