Normally, Dilbert is ho-hum.  But one of the funniest "serials" I have
seen on the comics page was Dilbert and his supercomputer.

For those of you who don't follow the strip:  Dilbert gets a large
amount of money (lottery?), and buys a Cray with it.  Then he uses the
Cray to generate a script for Dogbert's life:

	DOGBERT: "According to this, in two years I'll be
                  captured by evil squirrels and forced to work
                  in their nut mines."
	DILBERT: "They get me too."

The part that had me rolling was where the garbageman turns around and
tells Dilbert that Chaos Theory makes any kind of iterative prediction
no more accurate than wild guessing.

	Ya'know, as much as I hate the Family Circus, and as much as I love 
hating the Family Circus, I have to agree with Doug that there has been a
real improvement in the weekday strips in about the past month or so.  It's
still nowhere close to being among my favorite funnies, but I have to admit 
that it's been much more bearable in recent weeks.

As far as I know, they're available just where you find them.  I've 
seen them lying about various Bay Area cafes and other places for
a few months now.  From what I gather on the net it seems that these

The last storyline that really stuck out in my mind as bringing back a
glimmer of the better days of the strip was the Brownie Charles sequence
which went on for a few weeks.  There have been a few smaller sequences
in recent years which I've enjoyed quite a lot, but this one really
shined for me.  
	As long as Charles Schultz can still do it I want to see him
continue.  It might not be as good as it used to be, but it is better
than a lot of other strips and every now and then there is another great
strip.  
	Meanwhile, I remember hearing somewhere that someone had planned
to start a complete reprinting of the strip.  Does anyone know anything
about this?

This can be found in the Darkhorse comic called Cheval Noir.
It comes out monthly and I don't know if they are new strips or reprints.

Cheval Noir is an anthology with four serials a montha and the occasional
short. Mostly European writers and it is in black and white well worth the
effort.

"Pogo" is still running as a daily strip. Personally, I think it's pretty

If you can, find a collection of old Peanuts cartoons somewhere...
they are very funny.  It depends on when you were a child, I
suppose.  The strip's peak, I think, was sometime in the sixties.

There are a lot of people who still adore Peanuts; I'm not one
of them myself, but the people who do tend to get extremely
hurt when one picks on Charles Shultz, who is unquestionably one
of the greats.  I suspect that what is still beloved about the
strip is its gentle, friendly ambiance-- something which seems to
have grown with time even as the humor gets less acute.  Peanuts
manages to pull this off without being particularly cloying.
These days, it's not particularly hilarious either, but I
wouldn't remove Peanuts from the comics page.

The most depressing thing about the aging and passing of comic-
strip legends is that there are generally no qualms about putting
another artist to work immediately on the strip the great one
created.  There have been dark mutterings here that, in the case of
Peanuts, this has in fact already happened: that Charles Shultz is
not the current author of Peanuts.  Whether or not this is true,
I suspect that Peanuts will continue without a break when
Charles Shultz passes on.

At the risk of sounding like a blithering idiot, I'm going to defend ol' Sparkey.
Sure, he's -what?- about two hundred years old and probably has lots of health
problems; we know Schultz has always had some mental "problems", such as
agoraphobia, and probably a few other -isms and conditions, which usually
show up in Peanuts.  Witness the recent strip (8/27/92) where Linus says
the warranty must have expired on his security blanket.  IMO, Schultz
is probably going through a particularly lonely or insecure phase (what-
YOU never get depressed!?) and it's showing up in the strip.  I agree
completely that Peanuts is a lot "wierder" in recent years, but it's
only due to CS's current outlook on life (mostly bleak :-( ).
But there is still the occasional highly intelligent pun buried 
in the strip, although you have to look hard and long.  Every single strip 
is not a masterpiece (was it ever?) but there is usually two or three good 
ones each week, today's strip for one.

ObAsUsual: It's all my opinion, don't go gettin' yerself in a knot. :^)

While I think Watterson would probably make a great animator (or at least
a key animator), I don't think I'd enjoy an animated CALVIN & HOBBES.  The
comic timing in a strip is subtly different from that of a film or cartoon,
and I think C&H relies on the printed medium for its humor.

Jim Davis hasn't set pen to paper on a daily _Garfield_ strip for *years*.
He's got a studio backing him up on all the writing and art chores while
he spends all that licensing money. :-)

(Not that this is in any way unusual -- in fact, artists like Bill
Watterson who do everything themselves are the rare exception in the comic-

	I saw someone refer to Peanuts the other day, and it reminded me of
a conjecture my wife and I had last year:

	Charles Schultz is totally senile.

	Think about it.  When was the last time you can remember "Peanuts"
being funny, let alone consistently amusing for a week in a row?  The thread
where Sally is teaching Sunday School and the kid keeps quoting "The Great
Gatsby?"  The recent episode in which Linus calls Charlie Brown at 3 AM
to tell him he's severely depressed?  This is humor?

	The man has totally lost it.  It's not as if he needed more money,
for God's sake.  The man needs to retire (retroactively to about 1987).
It just reminds me of Early Wynn trying to get his 300th victory and looking
sad and pathetic in doing so.  Schultz will be forever beloved around the
world, no matter what he does now, but for God's sake, TAKE AWAY THIS MAN'S
PEN!

	I apologize if this is on the r.a.c.s. FAQ list.

In article <1992Aug27.031842.29980@zip.eecs.umich.edu> tyg@dip.eecs.umich.edu (Tom Galloway) writes:
   One of two collections by John Callahan, that one with the title "Do Not
   Disturb Any Further". His other collection is titled "Digesting the Child
   Within", and I believe a third collection is due out next month but I 
   forget the title. He also wrote a prose autobiography entitled "Don't Worry,
   He Won't Get Far On Foot" which had a cover illustration featuring a
   toppled wheelchair.
