  1. I thought for the one with the couple leaving the theater next to a long line of people waiting to go in, the exiting lady should be saying, “I’d never have guessed that the kindly old doctor was the murderer.”

  2. Yet another great batch of cartoons. My favorites here are numbers 1, 2, 6 and 9. 6 and 9 are both kind of embarrassing (possibly degrading?) just in different ways.
