After an exhausting election here in the states it's time for some spirit lifting! Join me with a nice cup of tea or coffee or cocoa and let's sit back and read the Funny Papers!
1. What was your favorite comic strip as a child?
Probably Peanuts. "Big sisters are the crabgrass in the lawn of life."

2. Which comic strip today most consistently tickles your funny bone? Zits!!
3. Which Peanuts character
is closest to being you?Hmmmm.... Pigpen? no... not quite that messy.
Freida? no... I don't have naturally curly hair.
Lucy? well... I am a big sister. I think I'll go with Schroeder: I have a unique way at looking at life and I don't like dealing with people who don't grasp the greater things of life. And I've even played a little Beethoven in my time.
4. Some say that comic strips have replaced philosophy as a paying job, so to speak. Does this ring true with you?
Well, yes in some respects. They do spend a lot of time doing "deeper issues" than just sight gags. (so to speak.) I mean, think about it. The Washington Post runs three (THREE!) pages of comics every day. There's never that many Op Ed pages!

5. What do you think the appeal is for the really long running comic strips like Blondie, Family Circus, Dennis the Menace as some examples?
They are reflections of "life" from someone's perspective. I can't actu
ally say that it's always mine. In fact, a lot of time, I don't read them.

You're the first 'deviation' from the Far Side. Congratulations and thanks on a thoughtful posting.
I forgot about Calvin and Hobbes, I used to enjoy them too.
I wish Calvin and Hobbs was back too! Zits also gets me; however it's a bit too real with a 16 male in my house. --O--H

Of course Calvin and Hobbes! Thank you for reminding me of them.
And Zits always cracks my mom and I up.
LOL...I am living Zits! And I miss Calvin and Hobbes.
Wow, we clicked on our answers about Zits and Calvin and Hobbes. It helped me to see that your copy of Zits is slightly out of focus, as mine is. Whew!
Yep, me too. I need my Calvin and Hobbes!!!!
I fixed the blurriness of Zits... a little. And while I do love The Far Side, my favorite "theologians" always make me smile...
I'm studying right now -- will pop in to visit y'all in a bit...

Yes, C&H was great too, and came to mind. And that Zits you showed us was so, so true! Great play.
Zits! How could I forget about Zits?
Ah, Calvin, we hardly knew ye.
I used the same pic--FUNNY!
Calvin and Hobbes ruled!
I completely forgot Calvin and Hobbes and I LOVED them! Especially those morbid but hilarious snowmen...
Calvin and Hobbes was fantastic
