   I remember in 1983 a grad student from New York I worked with in Galveston had the strip in which Artie bemoans all the needs he could fulfill in New York but not Grimace, concluding with “I need a bagel!” Posted at his desk. (For my own part, as a Shakespeare fan, I saved the entire week in which he tried to direct Macbeth [“Wasn’t she married to the guy who sold a million hamburgers?”])

   Re: “mocked old women who, on their looks, dote”:

   “The lady who dyes a chemical yellow

   Or stains her grey hair puce,

   Or pinches her figure,

   Is painted with vigour

   And permanent walnut juice.”

    In Lakota legend (I think – could be another Plains tribe, or shared by several) , they were seven children menaced by a gigantic bear; at their cries the earth rose up to carry them into the sky, creating Mateo Tipi (Bear Lodge), aka Devil’s Tower. The grooves on the side are the marks of the bear’s claws. In season they appear above that real butte.
