Here, finally, is the truth.

This is a picture of our lovely artist, Izzy Seltzer. One side, is from his long ago adolescence. The other is present day.

Can you guess which one is which? You got it right! The right is before, the left after!

It's pronounced EL-EE-PEE!

Just because there's an H in it doesn't make it sound like and F!

I mean really. . .

I am NOT an elephant! And so neither is my name!

Do you seriously think I bear ANY resemblance to some blubbering, sniffly pachyderm?

I'm GREEN, for chrissake! I've got a GOLD TOOTH. And please, don't even think to put my nose in comparison with a lumbering brute's TRUNK. My beautiful, dainty, slender nose, my precious baby! Oh, I will never let anyone touch you, hurt you, cut you off to spite the face. . .

That sun sure is hot!

Life's a beach, don't they say? We were just there, at life, or at a beach, whichever suits you best. This man sure doesn't look very happy to be at the beach. I wonder why?

...And we're back!

We loved you, we missed you, we cried for you while living out our summer dreams, and now here's a teeny posting just to tell you we're back in action and ready to go! Unfortunately, posts will still be slightly irregular due to the fact that summer is still going on and no one can really hold up to a rigid schedule with a season like that. But very soon, my friends, my comrades, very soon . . .
