Slylock Fox

It's the greatest newspaper puzzle section of all times. I just cannot believe how wonderful Slylock Fox is. Slylock Fox allows children to excerce both hemispheres of the brain by solving mysteries and drawing pictures of orangutans. Scratch that, everyone young and old can do some brain aerobics with Slylock Fox. Why, today, I learned that cheese can be used to describe cheeses made from various types of milk, including CAMEL. Where else will you learn that? Uncle Richard's Fun Gazebo? 

Today's Slylock Fox in particular tickled my adenoids (because I laughed so hard). Featuring a deli pig with a difficult question, this puzzle taught me about friendly social interactions and defusing difficult situations with a witty remark. The deli pig asked Slylock Fox what he weighed, and guess what Slylock's ingenious reply was?

That's right.

"You weigh deli meats!" 

Genius. What a great way to both answer the question without insulting the deli pig and without actually answering the question. Children should all emulate Slylock Fox and learn to use their brains (both hemispheres) in all sorts of situations. Scratch that, we should all use our brains more and read more Slylock Fox.
