Lynn, In a recent thread in The Pit, I asked you a question. You responded within an hour or so. I must say: Damn, you’re good. Not only that, you’re damn good. ---

I sat at my desk, cleaning the Colt .45, as the telephone rang. It was a wandering daughter job. I slapped the roscoe into my hip pocket and reached for my fedora. That’s my name on the door. Bodoni Private Investigations. As I headed down the street I tossed a nickel to the crippled newsie. “Ay, Spoofe!” he said. That’s me. Spoofe Bodoni, private dick. – from “Spoofe Bodoni on the Case,” BLACK MASK magazine, April, 1933. ---

Indeed, what can we say about our friend and Mod **Lynn** that’s not already been said? Puh-lenty !!! She puts the kum in “Kum-Bah-Yah”. She puts the Maz in Mazerati. She put the Lynn in the Lynncoln Memorial 😃 She puts the Web in Web-Cams :eek: She’s da bomb in da Stealth Bomber and, last but so surely not least, \*\*She’s put the Mod in The Mod Squad \*\*. We admire you, we respect you, we LIKE you a huge ton and at the end of the day, many of us either wish to be like you, or at least wish to DRESS like you. God knows I do… :rolleyes: Grovellingly Yours, Cartooniverse ---

Thanks, everybody. Monty, it was mostly just lucky timing, we had been discussing that very issue in Mod Mail, and I saw your question…don’t you love it when a plan comes together like that? > [@](#): > > many of us either wish to be like you, or at least wish to DRESS like you. It’s very simple, really. A pair of glasses, a pair of briefs, and a pair of sandals for house wear. Lynn ---
