Down from ~60M in the early eighties.

Actual person who writes Peanuts:  Schulz' granddaughter,
since about two years ago.  This explains its recent
shallowness and meanness, and thea lack of wistful
reflection on the part of the characters that was its
trademark for decades.  The kid will never be able to come
up with anything remotely resembling "Happiness is a Warm
Puppy."  This is ironic, considering the character of the
first published Peanuts cartoon, in which Charlie Brown is
vilified.

The name was long ago PCed to "The Captain and the Kids" in
most papers.  It was this fact that first taught me what PC
was all about, long before the term "PC" was applied to it
(back when education was worth something we called it
"bowdlerization").

Not true.  The WSJ runs a non-political, occasionally funny

drawn by someone named "Nick."

He doesn't have a last name, and they don't have first names.  Bill
Watterson has said HE doesn't know, and never will.  He wants the strip
to remain a bit mysterious.  You'll also never see a C&H TV show, a
Hobbes doll, or anything like that.  Is Hobbes alive? Watterson doesn't
know.  He wants the strip to be about Calvin, and about Hobbes, and
from their point of view.  And I commend him for it.

Look waht happened to Garfield.  I think a plethora of merchandizing will
deminish the strip.  I would agree that he should possibly license a single
Hobbes animal and use the proceeds toward helping save the Tigers.  Other
than that, I am very glad he hasn't sold out.

Yeah, but I would say that Peanuts is no where near as good now as it was in
the first 15 years or so.  Reading the old books is still great while the new
strips are very rarely funny.

I would, especially if the money went to help Tigers as you suggested.

That's just it.  In a few short years, Family Circus has

	This isn't evidence. This is not a physical impossiblity.
Calvin could have painted the sign and imagined the whole dispute.
Some kids have very active imagination, very. 
	The best evidence presented so far is the time Hobbes tied
Calvin up and his father had to untie him. There is no way Calvin
did that by himself.

Well, I like that strip a great deal, but I don't have any of the
collections, and I'm not sure what to discuss about that strip, though I
do welcome such a discussion.

Also, note that there hasn't been a single mention of the old, classic
(wonderful, imaginative, stupendous) Krazy Kat comic strip, either,
until now!

(Though I guess you could count the discussions of Breathed's Outland,
since many of the surreal backgrounds he's used are obvious swipes of

Well, there is certainlt no shame in that.  While PV does not begin to
compare to it's heyday of the 30's, it is still a very well done
strip that is character driven (something rare in strips these days)
with good art.

I haven't seen the daily in years, but the Sunday strip is worthy
of being read and enjoyed.  Too bad it's in the "other" papaer.

This is a fairly recent development.  Probably a PC crap scare or
something.  Perhaps you should look into the reprints (at you local
comic store) of some of the earlier stuff.  You will be, I trust,
pleasently suprised.

There is only that one graphic novel.  And it's damn hard to find,
since it's out of print.  Ask the folks over in rec.arts.comics.  Some
will make you a lucrative offer for that book :-).

BTW, it's an honest-to-goodness book, with an ISBN number and

Near the end of last year there was a mail order catalog of Doonesbury
merchandise that I first thought was a joke but upon closer inspection
it appeared to be legit.  (Though I think it said some of the proceeds
would be going to some good cause.)  There were some Club Scud items, I
think there was some sort of a kite, and various clothing.
