... no not Michael Stipe or Moby, but those cartoons in the backs of newspapers that don't seem to have a punchline, and you're not sure if they're being funny... they just say things...:confused:

The Family Circus.
Bob is Peanuts
Qdrop is be Shylock Fox. It's not funny, but it has a moral, and a riddle so lame-brained that you don't pick up on it at all, and then feel stupid when you look at the answer and you're like "THAT'S the riddle?!" and you throw the paper down in disgust.
Are these things still in the funnies? I haven't read it in years.
Man, all the people with multiple usernames, that makes me feel better for being one of the top posters here. Those people post more, they just have multiple sets of post counts.

...in reading those Peanuts volumes that have been coming out, I found some stuff that Waterson lifted from Schultz. He definitely polished the jokes and made them better, though.
I think I was actually a bit disappointed to see that the freaky snowmen things were already in Peanuts, though. That stuff was so great in C&H; I really thought it was a brilliant invention. :(

i actually don't remember peanuts that much. at least not any of the actual jokes. i just remember the characters. i think just seeing its name mentioned in such close proximity to family circus made me remember it unfavorably by association, because family circus is really unfunny.
sorry!

Peanuts is pretty spotty, but it's nowhere near the level of trash that is the Family Circus.
Family Circus is arguably worse than Garfield or Bazooka Joe. Arguably. My head hurts a bit just thinking about that.

i used to like garfield as a kid, but i don't know why. i saw this thing that someone put together, it's a random garfield strip generator. it generates three random single panels and puts them together, and they're about as funny as any deliberately put together garfield cartoon, if not funnier. the non-sequitur nature of it gives it a little pizazz that the comic lacks.
garfield comics are funnier if you remove garfield's dialogue. then it's just jon talking to his cat. which is pretty funny by itself.
i'm garfield and i hate mondays. MEEEYOOOWWW

The family circus had the little scene where they show Jeffy running through the neighborhood, and they had little dotted lines showing where he'd been. That was fun, wasn't it?
I liked Peanuts.
I can't remember many cartoons.

I've got it, Bob is Get Fuzzy or whatever the college one is with the cat and dog.
get fuzzy is good, i like that. i like the boondocks, too, but i'm hardly the boondocks. for a variety of reasons that we dont need to go into.
abcdefz
03-16-2006, 01:45 PM
Get Fuzzy is cool.
For some reason, I'm thinking Garfield was actually funny when it first started. Not sure if that's true or not.
The big one that went from great to suckage was Mutts. Oh, man. The first two years were priceless.
I think the Big Three of comics gold are Calvin and Hobbes, Bloom County, and the Far Side.
oh god, i forgot about the far side. i love that. i've never read bloom county. i don't think.
calvin and hobbes is definitely the best though. i read them as a kid and i loved them, but obviously a lot of it went over my head, it gets fairly intellectual here and there. but there's still stuff in it that a kid could enjoy. i read it again now and then as an adult(-ish) and i still love it, but in a different way than i did when i was a kid. it's a whole new appreciation. and the artwork is absoultely brilliant, too, the level of detail really goes above and beyond what most comic (funny pages comics, that is) artists do. it's really pretty one in million.
if i ever have a kid, i'm going to give him my old calvin and hobbes books. that should get him on the right path.
the sad thing is, is that if calvin was a real kid today, he would be heavily medicated. i know if i was his father, i'd want him on as much medication as possible, i hate kids like that, i couldn't deal with him. i love the comic though. wierd.

HEY I ATE AT THE ICE CREAM SHOP THAT THAT GUY THAT WRITES FAMILY CIRCUS WENT TO AND DREW! THEY HAVE FAMILY CIRCUS SIGNED COMICS EVERYWHERE IN THERE! IT'S IN SCOTTSDALE, AZ.
I ate soup. It smelled like 1962 in there.

I have an entry written in one of my diaries hypothesizing how Darby who writes Get Fuzzy must be my one true love.
But then I looked him up and he wasn't some cute sheepish comics writer, he looked more like a jock.
:(
here's an unbearably sad photoshop that someone did for a sort of "alternate ending" of calvin and hobbes.

...the books are out of print, now, I'm pretty sure. And Opus is just a tiny sliver of the glory of Bloom County.
You should get to a library or used book store or something. You're missing one major piece of genius, man. Oh, yeah.
For a while, all three of those comics existed at the same time. It was like having pretty reliably laugh-out-loud strips day after day. A platinum age of daily comics, man.

Have you ever come across the essay suggesting that Fight Club and Calvin and Hobbes share striking parallels?

Yep. I believe I have all of the books for Bloom County and Calvin and Hobbes. Soon I will give them to Noah. Classic. Pure classic.

P.S. I hate all of the Clavin stickers around on cars.
No shit.
I hate the pissing ones, but what I REALLY hate are the ones of Calvin praying in front of a cross. Christians should know better than to steal. (n)

i actually came across a site about that i was looking for that sad calvin and hobbes cartoon. i read about a paragraph of it, but i bet it's interesting.

actually, i'm probably closer to Dilbert.
but i have bloom county qualities.
agreed.

i think that's why i didn't recognize bloom county, i always associated opus with outland, for some reason, which i also do not remember reading. i do remember seeing it in the paper, though.
maybe i've never seen bloom county after all, i don't know.
