What is your opinion on the Oxford Comma? I've noticed you use it some of the time, but not always.
-Very curious fellow author
I use it when it increases clarity, don't bother when it doesn't matter.

I rarely reblog but this is the most brilliant work by a personal hero, Chuck Jones, that everyone should see. I learned a lot of culture from Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies! Thank you, Diane Duane, the OP, for posting it. Enjoy!
For those of you who haven't viewed "What's Opera, Doc" recently...
Here's a good clean transfer of a great classic that never stales.

This 14th century door at Exeter Cathedral, UK, is thought to be the oldest existing cat flap.
A cat was paid a penny each week, to keep down the rats and mice in the north tower, and a cat flap was cut into the door below the astronomical clock to allow the cat to carry out its duties.
Records of payments were entered in the Cathedral archives from 1305 to 1467, the penny a week being enough to buy food to supplement a heavy diet of rodents.
