"Miscues" Artist Book by Sheila Benedis
Art by Hart
The Christmas family portrait was a beloved tradition for the Snaiths.
Of all the days for Rudolph to wake up with Covid . . .
Rawson should have taught his pets to heel, sit, and stay.
In a break with family tradition, Richmond refused to go into banking.
With his pals in hibernation and his ski patrol application still in limbo, Jumbo had nothing but time . . .

Pun Intended
No matter how much you push the envelope, it’ll still be stationery.
I’ve started telling everyone about the benefits of eating dried grapes. It’s all about raisin awareness.
I saw an ad for burial plots, but that’s the last thing I need.
Police were summoned to a day-care center where a three-year old was resisting a rest.
A dentist and a manicurist married. They fought tooth and nail.
England has no kidney bank, but it does have a Liverpool.
French pancakes give me the crepes.
Did you hear about the cross-eyed teacher who could not control her pupils?
I stayed up all night to see where the sun went, and then it dawned on me.
I was wondering why that frisbee was getting bigger. Then it hit me.
With thanks to Barbara Bruno for sending these.
