Trudeau wrote for one of his Sunday "Doonesbury"s:<br /><br /> "Woof! Woof!"<br /> "What's that, Lassie? You say the hunter fell into the abandoned mine shaft and broke his leg and needs insulin?"<br /> "Woof!

What? Oh, "parthenogenesis" is what happens when females self-fertilize, which, based on the little I've read about it, and the even littler I understood of what I read, should produce only clones of the mother.<br />This story and many more are available online for free @ http://readcomiconline.to.Comic/Superboy-1949/Issue-101?id=28964 or simply google readcomiconline.to and look around from there. I'm interested in what you have to say about the questionable morality of reading free comics on the 'net and hence driving honest, hardworking LCS's into the ditch. wordsmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12440378700782807683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-35050044352048226542016-11-12T14:10:24.243-04:002016-11-12T14:10:24.243-04:00I have no words for this one.
