Hal, if AFG does more (and I hope she does, this is a WONDERFUL thread) might I suggest multiple pages? It’s starting to take a long time to load the whole thing by dial up, and those of us loyally following the thread only need the most recent ones. ---

Way ahead of you, **SBS**. Look for a fully revamped page later today. ---

Splendid! BTW, I ususally forget to look at the main page – has anyone put this up for thread spotting yet? ---

Ok, the page is much more [dial-up friendly](http://www.sirblah.com/misc/SDMBanagrams.htm) now…I’ve chunked the 'toons into grouped pages, instead of having all 71( **!** ) drawings on one page. Hope this helps out! ---

> [@Amazon Floozy Goddess](#): > > As long as people keep wantin’, I’ll keep doin’! It’s great fun. 🙂 Ok then…since the original thread that brought on all this wonderful silliness has pretty much died, I figure some of the anagrams I used in the OP there could be put to good use here. I reworked a few of them, finding configurations that would make for better cartoons. So, **AFG** , to you I humbly submit the following: PROPHET PURCHASES CONFETTI - Spectre of Pithecanthropus FBI SNAG ANAL MAN - flamingbananas A NOVICE SORTER - Cartooniverse A NARRATING STONER - Stranger On A Train BOLD NOSE ERROR - Dolores Reborn BIMBO PITY LAIR - Improbability DYED MANLY TOOLS - Only Mostly Dead And apologies for stepping on the toes of those named above… ---

It wasn’t until I was finished that I noticed the above anagram that _was_ used on the page. :smack: Ah well…for the record, some of the more 'toonable ones were: REAGAN FACE MINER REF MENACING AREA FACE REAMING NEAR MEAN, ANGRIER FACE I, ENEMA FRAGRANCE RENEGE MAFIA NARC FREEING ARCANE MA MANAGE FIN CAREER FEAR NICE MANAGER Any of those should earn you a NICER ANAGRAM FEE. 🙂 ---

**AFG** , as everyone else has said before me, your drawings are awesome! Kind Bows Peeve Thor is exactly how I pictured it when I first saw the anagram. I’ve followed this thread from the beginning but have only just now had the time to go through all the anagrams from my username. I hope you would do me the considerable honor of drawing one of the following: ARRANGE COWS DUNG, MEN CAGED WARMONGER NUNS COWMAN ENDANGERS RUG DAMN GANGRENOUS CREW ONWARD, GANGRENE SCUM RENOWNED URN CAM GAGS SNOWMAN REDUCER GANG Again, you rule, and thank you. ---

I wish you could do me…but alas, no anagrams exist for my name. _snif_ Well, we’ll do my real name, then. Here are some, use whatever one can make the best picture!
