The Lost Adventures of “Calloway the Castaway” Episode 25

Is the correct word ‘blither’ or ‘blather’? I always thought it was ‘blather, but I just found out I was semi-wrong. Several online dictionaries have both ‘blither’ and ‘blather’ with the meaning as ‘long-winded.’ I then thought maybe one could be a verb and one would be a noun, but no, evidently both ‘blither’ and ‘blather’ can be used as either nouns or verbs.

Even my 1973 Random House College Dictionary lists both ‘blither’ and ‘blather’ as words. The internet might be wrong, but Random House wouldn’t be, at least not back in 1973.

Enough blither (or blather) about these words! Here’s the 25th episode of my older brother’s comic strip “Calloway the Castaway,” published in our local weekly newspaper back in 1979.
