Yes, folks, just five episodes into News-Herald Dot Comedy and the staff is ready for a breather.

Hey, being this darn witty is hard work.

The staff is heading on vacation and will not be posting updated Dot Comedy pieces on July 27 or July 30. I'm sure you are all heartbroken .... all five of you.

In the meantime, keep up with the news of the weird in Northeast Ohio and around the globe and feel free to send suggestions for topics when we return. And thanks for the support you have all show to this blossoming new labor of love.

Before we go, a few words about vacation.

Can't wait to go!

That's as few words as you will ever see in this space.

Got a problem with that? Take it up with our travel agent.
