High Words
3 pp

When a man accused of pushing his mother-in-law into a creek tries to defend himself with an obscure geographical reference, the folks of the Bungle household end up in a spirited debate over what the word actually means—leading to a hilarious search through dictionaries and increasingly wild guesses that only muddy the waters further. This short comedy sketch by H.J. Tuthill is pure domestic confusion, where nobody quite wins the argument and the real crime gets lost in translation.
