  1. Is that Al Capp from Dogpatch and drinking buddies?
    (You didn’t expect that coming eh. ‘Al Capp’ introduced new expressions to USA, making lively writing as in TDB like: double whammy, skunk works and Lower Slobbovia. Also shmoo*, druthers, schmooze*, and nogoodnik, etc. *In electrical engineering, a shmoo plot is a graphical display of the response of a component or system varying over a range of conditions or inputs. *schmooze comes from the Yiddish. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Capp#Legacy)
