I love the funnies! It's kinda sad though. My three all time favorite comics are
Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, and Garfield. Now two out of three of them are gone and Garfield just isn't as good as it used to be.

Speaking of Garfield....:

I do not buy the paper or anything like that, so the only comics I read are online based ones.

There s a wonderful new one starting that looks really promising.

I saw that. That was the first time I had heard of Astroboy and I actually thought Hobbes made the name up until my dad explained it to me. Now loom at me. I've got action figures of the bloody kid! It's kinda ironic, really.

I find that both Peanuts and Garfield have long ago expended their creators' fresh ideas. Hence, there are only reruns of reruns of variations on themes. I think Calvin & Hobbes' creator Bill Waterson stopped drawing it when he saw his own strip beginning to follow that pattern. Likewise Berkley Breathed stopped drawing Bloom County for the same reason, but has since revived it under the name of its most famous character, Opus.

After all, how many new ideas can he produce for a kid whose behavior is limited to tormenting the sitter, daydreaming about Spaceman Spiff in class, playing Calvinball, avoiding contact with bath water, and a few other things? Likewise, Garfield: eating ferns, squashing spiders, eating Jon's lunch, kicking Odie off the table, attacking the maiman. Peanuts: Lucy the psychiatrist, Lucy causing Charlie Brown to land on his back, because she pulled the football away when he ran to kick it, Linus cuddling his blanket and sucking his thumb, Schroder playing the piano, Snoopy as either a fighter pilot or Joe Cool. I think Dennis the Menace remains fresh because except Sundays, it is only a single frame, rather than a strip. :lol:

Waterson did the wise thing, his strips still remain fresh, many people mourned the end of them. The other artists, or their successors refuse to drive the stake into the hearts of these old , stale strips. To young people, though they may seem fresh, but to me I am 45, and long ago had enough of them. :lol:

I can never get enough of Calvin's snowmen. Or snowgoons. :D

[Strange Wings]

One of my favourite cartoonists is Gary Larson. His weird sense of humour is fantastic :lol: .
Sometimes he also uses animals as equals for humans.
It's funny how he used to draw their eyes: just a black thick line in the middle of the face :D .

[jeffbert]

I think that line was supposed to be a forehead that showed anger.

:o You're right, it could be a forehead. Anyway, if I view it as their eyes, in a way it looks
funnier to me :lol: ;) .

Yeah, he's one of my favourites. I have the first four Far Side Galleries, plus a bunch of the little books.

[jeffbert]

I remember a Far side tv special. There was this one sketch about a monster higing in a kids closet at night. The scene shifted fro the closet as the monster slowly opens the door to the kid trying to hide under the covers, petrafied with fear. The monster slowly approaches the bed, claws glinting in the moonlight. Suddenly, he siezes the kid, and-- and--













the kid pops, like a baloon! The poor monster is having a cow, when other monsters enter the room, one holds up a box on which is a picture of a kid in a bed, with the words, "exploding kid, scare your friends."

Well talk about plot twists, nobody expected that, and everybody is cracking up! :lol:
