DQ: Are you Elmo, the little neighbor boy from Blondie?
Yes! I am Elmo Tuttle, the five-year-old across the street who comes over to chat with Dagwood while he’s taking a bath.
Don’t forget to start a new thread.
I had a feeling that was going to be your next question…

(Actually, I think Elmo was around earlier than 1960, but I’m not certain.)
Congrats, Prof.!
Yes, well done, Prof.! I remember Elmo, even though I haven’t read Blondie for a long time.
