Since my two most popular blog entries have been about Mike Peter's last two Mother Goose and Grimm "Twelve days of Christmas", I thought that some of you would like to know more about him. From www.grimmy.com I found a link to an interesting article in the St. Louis Dispatch:
"Mike Peters: The Man Behind Mother Goose and Grimm: Mike Peters extracts humor from catastrophe, political angst, private fears, and a goose's pet dog…", by Jeannette Cooperman.

Mike Peters' "Twelve Days of Christmas" puns for 2012
Mike Peters, creator of "Mother Goose and Grimm" is at again with his puns on "The Twelve Days of Christmas". As I write this, he is on the Eighth day of Christmas. If your newspaper doesn't carry "Mother Goose and Grimm", you can find his comics at his web site.
I was led to write this for a couple of reasons.
First, my blog entry "For word nerds only" from last December has been getting several hits a week and a common set of keywords used is "mother goose" "grimm" "twelve days" "Christmas". This particular set puts this blog entry first of over 25,000!!!
Second, we stopped buying paper copies of the newspaper. The online versions of the Duluth News Tribune and Star Tribune don't carry the same comics as the print edition, and even then, you have to click on the individual listing of a comic to see the current panel. It's almost enough to get me back to the print edition. Oh, yes, with the Star Tribune eEdition I can get a copy of the comic section. It does take a bit more effort than scanning the paper copy, but I do have all the comics in one place. Shall I call the Star Tribune eEdition my Christmas present to myself: two chortle doves? Or "my blue glove waved to me"!
And another interesting tidbit! When you pass the cursor over today's Google logo, it shows "200th Anniversary of Grimm's Fairy Tales".

For word nerds only
Mike Peters, creator of Mother Goose and Grimm, has a wonderful series of puns on "The Twelve Days of Christmas". If your paper doesn't carry his comic strip or if you missed some of the earlier strips, you can find them at http://www.grimmy.com/.
I also learned that he does two editorial cartoons a week for the Dayton Daily News. Unfortunately, you have to subscribe to the online edition to see any of the editorial pages of the DDN.
