I was just wondering...  does anyone else remember a little boy who 
rode on the back of his mother's bike?  I believe that he was the little 
brother of Linus and Lucy, but I'm not sure.  Please someone let me 
know that I'm not crazy!  :)  No one I have ever mentioned it to
remembers him!  

If you know who I'm talking about, do you remember his name?
Also, I was wondering why no more was written about him.

				Thanks for the help!

In general: check out any ol' history of comic strips from your library
and find out which ones look good.

In particular: "Dreams of the Rarebit Fiend", also by Winsor McKay.
"Barnaby", by Crockett Johnson.  Early "Moon Mullins" (a big surprise if

"Life with Father."  "Popeye."  "Dondi."

     I know you probably don't like people responding to their own posts, but
I have some neat ideas for improving Family Circus while allowing it to
remain a good-hearted strip, unlike some of the angst and stuff described in
the Fox Trot and other parodies.  Come on, noone in my family has ever seen
a lot of the violence and stuff you people seem to want for it to be more
"real," or whatever.  Raise kids right, show them love, and they'll be well-
adjusted, like the kids in FC!  That's just his point!
     It might be harder for some parents, I admit, but FC can operate in this
system and improve.  Here is what I propose:

     1.  Move to 2 or 3 panels, Mr. Keane.  If you want cute stuff, it can
be 1, but the material isn't as good as it used to be - even the stuff on
misc.kids would probably need 2;
     2.  Show some real-life stuff, but surround it with love to teach how
nice the world can be.  Here's one idea:  Have a kid bring a friend home and
ask: "Can we keep him, Mommy?" like you would ask about an animal.  It would
be a cute thing a kid says, but would also lead into how troubled the kid's
life is.  Have him/her get into lots of fights, etc., but show the child
gradually getting better socially as he/she is surrounded by love and attention.
Have the family adopt him/her eventually.
     3.  Show WHY the Keane family gets along so well in the Sunday strips,
where you have more room to expand.  Show the parents helping negotiations
over a toy or something, which can be VERY funny at times - I know, I've seen
it with my cousins.  May be a bit preachy, but you can minimize that rather
easilyby making it FUNYY!  Or, at least cute.

     Life is hard.  Some of you may not have grown up in such great homes.  I
had troubles my first couple years at college because I saw such problems in
the world that I didn't see in my hometown, but now I'm over them.  I know
that you can improve people - I worked with Big Brothers and Big Sisters for
2 years, and other volunteers and I have seen how such volunteering has
helped children.  Maybe it paints too good a picture, but I think you can see
all hope is not lost for FC, if Mr. Keane would just concentrate on spreading a
little of the love around and showing how it can help others.

I think Richie Rich is a great comic because they talk about money all the time. I don't care much for Casper or the robot maid or the stuffy butler (Does he know Mr. Belvedere?). How about a robot butler? Is there any parallels between R.R. and Calvin of Calvin & Hobbes fame?

The author of this strip changed a few things a few years back because
of complaints.  He made the sexy secretary more aggressive and instead
of just complacently putting up with the General, she now tells him
off.  He also changed the way she dresses -- she doesn't wear low-cut
blouses and mini-skirts anymore.  
I always thought the addition of the female sergeant was his way of
adding another aggressive female character, but you're right.  Her
characterization just sort of falls flat.

There was one where the picture on the wall was of a cow swimming.

Speaking of amoebas, how about "Amoeba porn flicks" showing amoebas with
small black rectangles over them.

Other favorites:
A snake is sitting on a chair in its living room and swallowing a very
large pig, and the phone rings, The snake thinks "Damn". Also, the 
picture on the wall behind the snake shows a pile of eggs with a baby
snake popping out of one.

Or how about "At The Far Side's spy center" showing 2 humans, a cow and
a duck watching various monitors showing different comic strips. In one
of them, Opus is saying "Is that a camera lens?"

One last strip: "God at his computer" showing God watching on his
monitor a man walking down the street with a piano suspended by a rope 
above his head. God is about to press the "Smite" key.

Which reminds me of a child God in a kitchen with smoke and feathers
everywhere. The caption reads "God as a child tries to make a chicken"

I have all of these and more posted above my PC at home.
Thats enough for now.

   When "Sylvia" came to the Boston Globe, one of their (female) columnists
   wrote a column which championed it as "female humor."  OK, maybe hormone
   injections would make me appreciate the humor, but no drug could make me
   see past the awful drawing.  How can anyone stand the terrible artwork?

I agree on the artwork.  It took me some time to get past it.  However, I
think that Sylvia is a brutaly sarcastic, and incredibley witty strip.

   I guess "Cathy" falls into the "female humor" category as well.

Nope.  Cathy is just whiney.

I think the kid called himself "The Eliminator."  I remember when he first
showed up in the strip.  Funky went to play Defender in Montoni's (?)
Pizza, and he saw that someone had beaten his high score on the machine.
He asked "Hey, who beat my high score?!", and Montoni answered "Some kid
came in, put in fifty cents, and played for two hours."  Funky got smug
and said "Oh, so it took him two tries to beat my high score, huh?"
Montoni replied, "No, he was playing Pac Man with his other hand."

Calvin and Hobbes WAS the best comic strip around... until Mr. Boffo 
came along. C&H is now a distant, but very respectable, second.

The Mr. Boffo Serenity Prayer:

     "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change...
      the courage to change the things I can...
      and a red Ferrari."

Hmm,

I haven't noticed the change in names associated with Pogo. In general, I think the strip has really gone downhill recently; and although it is great satire at times, it has _REALLY_ slow periods that are horrible.
BTW, how long has the new Kelly been in charge?
