Mark Twain is famous for comparing the right and almost right words to lightning and a lightning bug. Here’s a comic that makes the same point. Hubert is Abby s pet mammal of some kind, Abby works in a hospital, not that it matters.  Hubert’s inanity drives me up a wall sometimes.

Mel Henze is the writer.

Here’s a link to the strip. Hubert and Abby.
