Your Favorite Print Cartoon Strip
A SMILEY FOR EVERYDAY-NO COMPLAINTS-NO GROUCHES ALLOWED
I love Dilbert, Peanuts and Born Loser.....no comments please In that vein, what are the Peanuts characters doing now: Most cartoon characters remain frozen in time. Though they've been around for more than 50 years, the members of the Peanuts gang are in some unspecified elementary school holding pattern. But what if they had been allowed to age like the rest of us? With apologies to the late Charles Schulz: Charlie Brown: Operates Good Grief Counseling Inc., which specializes in manic depressives and people who are just having a bad day. Moonlights as a pitching coach at high school and college levels. Married to Marcie. They have a roundheaded son who wears glasses. Linus: Developer of Security Blanket Software, which is a hot item on the New York Stock Exchange. Worth millions but is actively involved in charitable causes, including the Great Pumpkin 5K Fun Run every Halloween. The only man who makes Bill Gates nervous. Lucy: Serving her seventh term in Congress. On her third husband. Claims she hasn't thought about Schroeder in years, but the background music on her answering machine is Beethoven. Schroeder: After years on the classical performing circuit, he runs a piano bar in Carmel, Calif. Won't let anybody lean on his piano. Sally: Never quite got over being spurned by Linus. Has a cat named Sweet Babboo. Sells Mary Kay. Peppermint Patty: Women's athletic director at a Midwest university. Her fashion credo: "Sandals go with everything." Snoopy: In dog years, he'd be 350. What do you think would've happened to him? Linus has created an endowment at Daisy Hill Puppy Farm in Snoopy's memory.

I like Dilbert, and Zippy the Pinhead. I guess because I remember him from the underground. Oh yes, The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, but they only come in comic books.

I really enjoy Calvin & Hobbes . Best cartoon ever, I think. I also fancy two great norwegian cartoons, M , the story is about the person drawing it. Very hilarious. And Pondus . It's quite big, actualy. Some of you might have even heard about it, though I wouldn't count on it.

Nice to know you get C&H, Pytt. They have their moments for me too.

I love Calvin & Hobbes, and Doonesbury, and Dilbert is fantastic! Cool thread, Spock - too bad it got moved to the entertainment forum 'cause now I can't paste pics of comic strips! *sounds of cheering can be heard from the I-have-a-slow-computer section of the moot bleachers*

Peanuts, Freak Brothers, 40 year-old Hippie, Wonder Warthog, anything by Hunt Emerson, but the top is definitely If... (those of a non-commie persuasion should look away now):

I really like "Pearls before Swine." Anybody else read that one?
And "Calvin & Hobbes"

How could I forget Far Side? I still use an old desk calender pages as note pad. Its cool because you can read the comic again!
Gaffer, I can relate now to the 40 year-old Hippy I'm sure you know Cherry and Harold Head too? And as for the Freak Brothers, I wish I still had my Fat Freddies Comic book because it had a classic stand-up comedy routine by the Fat One, with the Cats as teh audience. The 3 foot duck is a classic!

Never heard of Cherry and Harold Head. However, I have a box full of 70s comics stashed in the loft, including Freak Brothers #1-9. You can buy 'em from the Rip Off Press web site, I think.
Did you notice that the ending of O Brother, Where Art Thou? was almost identical to the ending of Grass Roots (the one where they go back to nature and Phineas get elected sheriff)? |

Pretty much only Dilbert, but that's getting lame too.

Harold Head was another underground California hippy comic of the late sixties. Cherry was the the adventures of Annie, a liberated teen in the sixties. She made an appearance in one of the Freak Brothers comics as Little Orphan Anphetamine.

Doonebury is my all-time favorite; i've been reading it since the 70's - went to law school along with Joanie.
I also like Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes, Far Side, Life in Hell and in the past couple of years, I've become a fan of For Better or Worse. |
