We just introduced our sons to Far Side a week or two ago, and ever since then Max, our cartoonist, has burst out into random fits of laughter, followed by “somehow, somewhere, a duck is watching you.”
It’s a major koinkidink to see the resurrection of this apparently hilarious cartoon.

LA Dodgers’ pitcher Jeff Weaver just named his new baby boy “Drake”. Think the parents had a case of Anatidaephobia! Ha Ha!
I think I like “duckalookaphobia” even better…
