You don't need an adverb in a Tom Swifty when the verb handles the double meaning.#7: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jul 1, 2019
The adverb is needed when the verb is "said" (which is most of them, as these are the easiest to create)
I've always seen seen them called Tom Swift. But my memory must be faulty, because the interwebs agree that it's Swifty (and not Swiftly, as I interpreted the title). If I weren't still at work, I would say it's time for bed. :)#8: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jul 1, 2019
Har har har. I really love puns. And I love your puzzles, Joe. So I know I'm going to love everything about this series. (She said whole-heartedly.)#9: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Jul 1, 2019
Super image, btw, and really fun solve.
Good one, Teresa.#10: besmirched tea (Besmirched Tea) on Jul 1, 2019

it's more like this:
"I had both ventricles removed" Tom said half-heartedly
