you got it, CB!#4: Donald Clysdale (don) on May 20, 2021
Thanks Kristen, another one where I knew the story. I don't know what happened to all of his books I had. This might be a good series, as there were a lot of these jokes at one time, such as "I'll never feed crocodiles again, said Tom offhandedly." Don#5: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on May 20, 2021 [SPOILER]
Ooops, this was a series, but since I only even see the B&W puzzles, I missed the other ones.

No idea what anyone is referring to. Maybe a little back story for those of us who come across these puzzles by searching. Nice image. Fun solve. Just don't know who or what it is.#9: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Feb 6, 2025

In this case, he's lost his sister Ruth, so he says his phrase ruth-less-ly.
