SO ENDS A BEAUTIFUL SAGA OF LOVE AND STUFF LIKE THAT THERE, SAD AIN'T IT.

Enough of the electromatic, technically know as "Hektowriter". That darn thing is so fast, all you have to do is blow at the keys and you have a whole letter written. 

Re Mother Liebscher's Problem Corner Stuff: How's about it you guys and gals, send in you[r] problems to me, make them as wacky as you want to, in fact the wackier the better and I shall contrive to cogitate furiously and answer your pleas the most assinine and putrid way that I can. Do you have a carbuncle on your nose, do you suffer from Twonk's disease, do you want to know a cure for bunkus on the kunkus, send your letters to Ma Liebscher and receive absolute irrelevant advice.

About Snulbug's grandparents, Wulbug and Poobug. Poobug is the instigater of that popular phrase, "Poo on the yobber". You see Poobugs just love yobber and they swarm all over it, which makes yoober itch, hence "Poo on the yobber". Wulbug is technically known as the darning bug, just put him on your holee stockings and he will darn the, hence the expression, "Wul, I'll be darned."

Did you hear about the fellow who couldn't stand to be tickled, in fact he couldn't even sit to be tickled.

[underlined] See Gertrude Gherkin and Ima Q. Cumber in "A Fine Pickle".
[underlined] Oh, sands of the desert, burning in the blazing sun--- HOT STUFF
[underlined] See Vendetta Vandal and Vardis Vatch in "Vooing on Venus".
