Well, Dilbert is in the Daily Targum, one of the newspapers here at Rutgers

My favorite strip from Gordo was of his cat/dog/chicken/daddy-o spider 
where the cat exclaims: "I get my energy from the Sun...and my imagination
from the Moon!"  I always looked forward to the New Year's edition where
all the phases of the moon were placed on a calendar.  I miss Gus.

I have heard references to people in Chicago not having any more
Tank McNamara. Please tell me that this is only over theere. Here in
the Glob, it is great because they put it right in the sports page.
If you missed last week, it was about the *outlawed* team kidnapping
the 64th seed, Amish-Lutheran Polytechnic, and going on a rampage in
the tourney. 

I'm glad someone finally bashed Sylvia. They got rid of it for a week
or so for Non Sequitur, the brought it back and trashed Geech (no big
loss there). But I think that the reasonong behind it being funny is
some sort of feminist twist, but I don't get it at all.

Any Dilbert fans out there? Dogbert is the most ruthless character in 
the funny pages. What a great strip.

Whatever happened to the recurring character of "Loretta" in the older Peanuts

You realize, of course, that tigers can climb trees.  In fact, in one of the

Anyone catch Zippy about two weeks ago, Sunday edition?  Fuelrod
(Zippy's son, or smaller clone, or something) did a "fill in" for Zippy
(like Billy does for FC) ... it was about pre-teen angst and violent
aggressive fantasies.  Very cool.

Foxtrot had a few strips recently where one of the kids decided to
do some Family Circus strips ... they were never shown, but were
described (and quite deviant).  "This one only makes sense if you've
seen The Exorcist".

Later, he gave up on FC (because the original author was still alive),
and inferred that he was going to try his hand at Pogo.

My read:  the other artists are as fed up with syrupy FC as the rest
of us.

I was going to post about that special; you're right, it was well made
(except the voices were all wrong, of course ;-).  What bothered me about
it is that instead of using characters who have well deserved being included
in a TV special (Milo, Hodge-Podge, Portnoy, Binkley, Cutter John, Oliver,
the list goes on...), Breathed instead used these unproven, unpopular
characters he's subjected us to in Outland.  That pig, and that rat, and I
don't even remember who the other one was.  There they were, acting like we
should know them, and even stealing some schtick from the familiar
characters.  They were ... SCABS!!  I think that fact ruined the "classicness"
of this special.  Plus Opus' voice was all wrong :-)

Do any US papers carry "If..." which runs in The Guardian. The UK paper
which also carries Doonesbury - it's quite a culture shock sometimes
reading the one after the other when they're on the same topic.

Compared to If.. Doonesbury is extremely subtle, or maybe it's just that If..
is extremely UNsubtle and definitely sarcastic.  Don't get me wrong, I like

Back before the Far Side, I liked Wilson, and he still has occasional
good cartoons.  I like one of his showing two fabulously wealthy men 
playing pool, and just as one is about to hit his shot, a hugh meteor 
crashes right into the middle of the table.  The second man says "Damn bad 
luck, Fitzhugh".  Many of the Far Side ideas have some sort of progenitor 
in Gahan Wilson's works, I believe.

But not all of GW efforts are terrifically funny. Some of them are only
slighly ironic, and many are highly regional (NYC area), so that some
of us can't appreciate some of the humor.  When he's good, though, he's
good.

Has he done anything new recently?  I've been so hung up on C&H that
I honestly hadn't noticed any new GW books around.

Now, there is a really good strip. Probably one of the best ever (if not the
best).  I don't know of any translation to english, but there's got to exist one. I know it was translated to zillions of languages, including Malayan (or 
whatever the correct name of the language of Malaysia is).
By the way, does anyone know what is Quino up to ? I know he is living in Spain.
Does he publish any comic strip there ?
