    It’s great to have some humor. In todays world, we are so much in need of it.

    Great humor. Are we not tired of all the superficially happy and motivational posters seen everywhere in the ’80s and ’90s? Love the chickens.

    I have 2 questions about this post.

    My penultimate question is: regarding the second panel of the cartoon, isn’t today (as opposed ot yesterday) the last day of your life so far?

    My ultimate question is: which is the proper spelling, antipenultimate or antepenultimate?

    [These are both meant as rhetorical questions] :-)

  8. Megan says:

    Tim, I believe it’s spelled “antepenultimate” :) This cartoon made me very happy.

  9. I have studied my “penultimates” and “antepenultimates”, which is why I know that it is spelled with an “e” and not an “i”. If you mean “before” (as here) it’s “ante”; if you mean “opposite” it’s “anti”.
