That's a parody of ``They'll Do It Every Time,'' a longtime one-panel
comic that takes suggestions from readers and turns them into panels.
TDIET has been fading and has been dropped from a lot of newspapers in
recent years, so a lot of ``Far Side'' readers may never have seen it.
I've had to explain the reference to a lot of people whose papers don't
carry it.

I'm still not sure whether Larson was paying homage to it or ridiculing it.

Cheers,

Now that one, as I recall, was the subject of an ongoing controversy
between Albert the alligator and Beauregard the dog, wasn't it?  It's
not so much an `additional' verse as an `alternative' one -- the
*correct* one, in Beauregard's theology, but heretical to Albert.....

Anyhow, here's another:
I've got a 1966 strip in a frame with other odds and ends on my 
bathroom wall -- in this strip, Churchy is giving Li'l' Banewort Xmas carol 
lessons and sings `Deck us all....Alley-garoo.'  And Banewort repeats: 
`Tickle salty boss anchovie, Wash a wash a wall, an' a kangaroo! 
Dooby dooby dum dum dooby...'

BTW, what kind of animal is Li'l' Banewort?

I can excuse college students' attempts at creating comic strips.  Hey in
the same college daily that Jim's Journal appears in, there is a WORSE
(believe it or not) strip called "Skate Boy and Ru-Ru", not only is THIS
strip unfunny the captions are usually illegible (to most people).  But
this strip is done by a student, my expectations for it are much less
than my expectations for a comic strip done by a real-live 
"honest to goodness" cartoonist.  

I will never understand the apeal of Jim's Journal,
Winnie the Pooh is "Zen-like" but at least he is funny and well drawn...

Rumor is that the strip started here at UW-Madison and that Jim lives here.
Not sure if it's true, though.

I bought the collection, "I Went To School And It Was Okay" and thought it was
one of the best comic strips I'd ever read.  Really different, innovative, and
entertaining.  And it *is* funny, just in a very low-key sense.  Nothing like
Calvin & Hobbes or Doonesbury or Dilbert.

However, I've been following the more recent stuff and don't think it's as
interesting.  A sense of sameness has set in, like he doesn't have a whole lot
to say, and what he did have was said in the first two years of the strip.

Still, that collection is really good.

Hi.  I'm not sure what I hope to gain here, especially since my
so called talent may come under fire... I'm reading about a lot
of real lame-o college comic strips.  I have a pretty high opinion
of the locally produced comic strips at the University of Illinois,
and was wondering if any of you had ever seen them, and what your
opinions were.  

The reigning king of local cartoonists is Dave King, who has produced

"Bob and Dave," which currently backs up the Onion (several pages behind
Jim's Journal, buried in ads).  He produces Snooky Fudge for the Daily 
Illini.  There are also Go Die (Mark Peaslee), which is definitely not
mainstream.  Very witty and offensive.  Then there's Battery, ann
action/comedy superhero strip featuring an African-American.  Finally,
there's my strip, "Boomer!" which involves my daily ritual  of trying
to extract a rip roaring hilarious joke from my own dull brain on a 
consistent basis.  It's sometimes situation comedy, sometimes stand
alone gags.  It involves a fall guy, a cynical clown, the moon, and
a preschooler.

Any comments?  Fire away...

Hi,


It's probably not a good idea to ship comics via U. S. Mail as they tend
to be rather callous about handling magazines.  I've had stuff bent and
out of shape when I got them (fortunately, it wasn't anything irreplacable).

The platic bubble lined envelopes with cardboard backings works for me.

The subject line says it all.  I am only interested in the 1st printing of
Hulk 377.  If anyone has all or most of these issues, let me know and perhaps
we can work out a trade or sale. I am especially interested in getting the
369- issues soon as I am right in the middle of reading this storyline.

By the way, the Peter David Hulks I have read so far (348-367) are among the
best comics I have ever read. I look forward to getting the rest of 'em
soon.

Frankly though (and I am sure I am in the minority) I think Jeff Purves is a
far better Hulk artist than is Keown.

Well, in my area (West L.A.) they disappeared from the

But I went to convention a week after it came out and most dealers
