THIS WEEK’S COVER
- One of the values of a vacation is to build up strength to survive the labors and shocks related to terminating said vacation. It is a known scientific fact that it is twice as hard to pack up to come home as to go away, and that during a vacation the speed of growing grass accelerates 4.7 times. Also, the corn in the garden hastens to mature, so that when the folks return it will be too old to chew. Artist Falter, already saddened by this scene, will be desolate to know that the key to the house is on papa’s key ring in his shorts at the bottom of the trunk on top of the car. But cheerio! Be it ever so depreciated, there’s no place like home after its inhabitants have been back long enough to get the joint under control again.
