It happens now and then.  The last place that I heard about was the 
University of Washington tho I think that one has blown over.

What usually happens is someone (a newspaper reporter, or a high school
perhaps) gets access to the Internet and discovers alt.sex.  Depending
on their level of ignorance/lack of sophistication, you end up with
front page articles screaming about how your tax dollars are supporting
a world-wide porn ring.  In between the sensationalism, you'll notice
that they got half the facts wrong.

It's not surprising that I don't read written news anymore.  Not too
long ago, a publication (Electronic Media) had a little blurb about my
mailing list.  They didn't get anything right!  (sigh)

 To try to regulate comic strips for Canadian content would be just
 another example of forcing Canadian mediocrity down Canadian throats.
 
 If Canadian strips are good enough, they will sell to US distributors,
 just as the best - and only the best - US strips do.  And note, if a
 strip's author wants to make real money, it's the US market that must
 be sold to.  The same principle applies to books: unless you're 
 Pierre Berton or Mordechai Richler or a person of independent means,
 you try to sell in New York for the North American market.  Moral
 symmetry requires that the free flow be both ways - you can't expect
 Canadian authors to make their living in the US and at the same time
 deprive Canadian readers of US works of similarly marketable merit.

(I'm surprised this question took so long to be asked)
Obviously, since Hobbes can't animate when there's someone else around, 
Quincy would chew him to ribbons.  Jason also has the advantage of greater
intellect.  
 
While Calvin would no doubt have fun tormenting Paige (Paige could
babysit instead of Rosalyn), I'd have a hard time accepting Jason torment
a six year old.

Watterson is keenly aware of the history of his medium, and certainly
pays homage to many of its greats in his own work.  

Along with the things mentioned above, there is the word "Augghhh!",
which I believe did not exist before Peanuts.

There is also the lamp in Calvin's room (sometimes in the living room)
with the dark sigzig-zag stripe which looks like Charlie Brown's shirt.
Given that he also makes visual references to Krazy Kat almost daily,
this may owe as much to those mysterious pots which show up in
Coconino County, though.

If the strip keeps up its attempt to mimic the actual passage of time,
It's going to end up like Gasoline Alley, a parody of a nostalgia trip
(though I sometimes like GA anyhow).  I therefore think the following
will happen:
	Michael and Martha will get AIDS
	Dad will buy a Mazda Miata and leave town with the hygienist
	The grandparents will join the Hemlock Society and go quietly
	April will be hit by a stray bullet through the window
	The abusive father will by killed by his son
Or would this be too much of a bummer?  Actually, like everyone else I
love the way these people cope -- and they're CANADIANS, in case you
didn't notice!  Perhaps that's what will save them from the all-American
fates I've outlined above.....

Not noticing certain attributes about one particular comic strip that came from
Canada is hardly any reason to conclude that the cultures are similar.  I am
afraid that many people in both countries, when the differences between Canada
and the US are discussed, have an idea that the difference is simple and
linear, i.e., Absolute value of (Culture of Canada minus Culture of US) = a
certain amount of differene X between the two countries.  Having spent many
years in both countries, I can tell you that it's not quite that simple.

Yup.  See above.

The thought that someone is continuing to draw strips under the name "Pogo",
defiling the old characters, makes me want to vomit.

>	IMHO, some of Kelly's best storylines were almost straight vaudeville
>with almost no overt political content at all.

Absolutely.  Remember the three bats, who even *looked* vaudeville, and gave
us such classic dialogue as:

	"Get out of there!"
	"I got squatters rights!"
	"You ain't squattin'; you is more *prone*."
	"Prone to what?"

...all of which was going on in the background of a Christmas-season strip in
which the "plot" had to do with Pogo and Albert being lost.  The occupied
territory was in fact a stocking that someone was trying to hang by the
chimbley with care.

For people who can't find the original books, "Ten Ever-Lovin' Blue-Eyed
Years With Pogo" is a pretty good compilation, including some of the special
series like "Suffer'n on the Steppes" and "Gore Blimey", and lyrics to a lot
of the songs.

I doubt it.  The worst strip ever had to be once that appeared in the 
_Washington Square News_, NYU's student paper.  I can't even remember the
name of it, it was so bad; even the paper's staff couldn't stand it, but
they ran it because they thought having at least one strip gave the paper
some legitimacy.  The strip was about a guy, his talking pet frog, and his
spaced-out sister.  Not one ever made me even smile, much less laugh.  A
hint on the artwork looked: the frog was always drawn as an oval at the
bottom of the panel (well, the top half of an oval), with two filled-in
circles for eyes.  Somebody please tell me that this strip never made it
out of NYU.  I was actually rather disappointed that they dropped it; it
always seemed fitting to me that the world's worst college paper ran the
world's worst strip.

And don't even MENTION _Jim's Journal._

You must not read For Better or For Worse very regularly.   It makes
quite regular references to Canadian life.  It is not excessive, but
neither are the strips from the USA.

If this issue is really important, there's another solution.
Get the authors of the strips to, in order to get more sales in the
Canadian market, alter the strip to put in some Canadian references from
time to time for that market.

But please, no Cancon.  Good way to cause more damage.  And it won't change
the fact that Canadian cartoonists know how to make comedy for the USA
(making comedy regularly for another country is uncommon, you must have quite
similar cultures) and they will always do this for the money.

It doesn't matter how much you encourage Canadian papers to buy Canadian
strips, there are still many, many times more papers in the USA to sell to.
