In Schulz's biography[*] he talks about the sequence where Marcie first
appears.  The original plan was to build up to a punch-line in which it
turns out that [tuh-dum] "Marcie" was in fact a boy.

He said he was very glad he decided not to do this, as it would effectively
have flushed one of his best characters almost before she was "born".

     Jimmy Johnson who writes the strip "Arlo and Janis").  The book is an
     excellent source for anyone interested in Peanuts/Schulz trivia.]

Doubtful. Check a map. There's not a whole lot of New Hampshire coastline
for a place called Crab Apple Cove to reside on. Every time I ever heard
him mention it (and he mentioned it frequently), it was always in Maine.
I was probably more inclined to notice the reference, too, since I was
growing up in Maine for the shows entire non-syndicated run. Mind you, 
I'm not suggesting that it's impossible that the mistake was made, I'm
just dubious.

Well, it seems like something that a 4 year-old might say.  The
logic of it escapes me, though.  Why should one's expectations of
Heaven force certain behavior from people on Earth?  Given that
man has free will because God wants him to have it, it would seem
that forced behavior is more likely to originate in Hell.  How about:

Mommys and Daddys & other
relatives have to give lots of beatings &
abuse, 'cause that way kids are prepared

OK I admit it, I'm a Far Side fanatic.  I'm looking for others who share
my enthusiasm for this strip.  My fanaticism has taken the following
forms:

   1) Collecting *almost* all of the newspaper Far Sides since about 1985
      and keeping them in chronological order.

   2) Collecting all the Far Side books (all of 'em), calendars (since
      1987), greeting cards (30 so far), and various other odds and ends.

   3) Naming my workstation after a favorite character, Zog.

I am interested in finding other Far Side fans, especially those who may
have Far Sides to trade.  Please respond by e-mail.

I bought _Build a Better Life by Stealing Office Supplies_.
Since I got it at a downtown bookstore near where I work, I
picked it up one day on the way to work.  I was at first a little
dubious (108 pages with only one strip per page?) but then I read
it all.  Then I showed it to a coworker.  Then someone else
wandered into the room, saw the title, and wanted to borrow it.
Once I got it back from him I lent it to another coworker friend.
I finally got him to bring it back after three days.  Then, while
picking it up from him, the book got passed around to all the
other people in the room.  It must have taken me half an hour to
get back to my office with the book.

My short review: Simple but competent comic art.  Absolutely
hilarious writing.  And if you work for a corporation involving
more than 20 people, you'll find the humor almost too true to be
funny.

I've ordered the other book, _Always Postpone Meetings with
Time-Wasting Morons_, and can hardly wait for it to arrive.

Perhaps I should start a campaign to convince my local paper to
carry Dilbert.

I was undecided about whether Hobbes was real or not until the strip where 
Calvin sends his parent's car down the driveway and into a ditch. In one panel, 
Calvin's mother is shown in the foreground inside the house, while outside 
Calvin and Hobbbes are shown separately running after the car. As far as I can 
recall, this is the only instance where a "living" Hobbes is shown in a panel 
with someone other than Calvin. This led me to believe that Hobbes is real if 
no one else is watching.

     That's just the point - the statement is saying that they should do
this, because children *do* generally see their Heavenly Father in their
earthly parents.  This is one reason why love is so important - so we see
how nice it is, and can learn to love others.  See, this way, God is showing
us how nice love can be, instead of forcing it upon us.  Thus, when we
use our free will, we will *choose* to love.  Those who are abused don't
understand love, so they don't see how nice it is - the devil is robbing them
of that choice. (Before we get into a flame war here, I'm suggesting that any
future comments be moved to soc.religion.christian)

I always found it intriguing how the subjects Calvin has to study in
school change in level so much. I mean, he's supposed to be in first
grade, right? But sometimes he is shown adding 2 + 2, while other
times he is being made to write rather detailed reports for a kid
who should just be learning how to read.
	Not that this detracts from the strip, though.

I really like it. It is a series about a stone age character, done by

They are great (I particularly liked the "mushroom cloud").

Are there any more? What are their ISBN's?

10/24/92 `Momma,' by Mell Lazarus, as it appeared in THE WASHINGTON POST:

In the first panel, little Momma, smiling benignly and removing a baked good
from the oven, says to her ne'er-do-well son Francis, who is standing nearby
with a glass of beverage: `Francis, I sincerely hope you plan to vote!'
To which Francis replies: `Momma, you think I'm a complete idiot?'

And in the next and final panel, Francis is out walking in the (or a)
neighbourhood, and he's pointing at somebody's garage door and saying to
the bespectacled man (not a regular character in the strip) who is looking 
out the window of the room above the garage: `Excuse me...will you please
open your garage?'

And from my left ear emanated a puffy Thought Balloon with a question mark and
an exclamation mark and another question mark in it.

And I clipped this cartoon strip and showed it to friends and strangers, 
and puffy Thought Balloons of Interrogation and Exclamation emanated from 
their ears, too.  But here are some of the explanations vouchsafed:

	`"Momma" is just a stupid strip, that's all.'  [I don't agree. -Ed.]
	`Well, see, he's proving that he *is* a complete idiot, because if
	   he can't pull the lever to open a garage door, how's he supposed
	   to pull the lever on the voting machine?!' [?!?!?!?! -Ed.]
	`The POST must have mixed panels from two different strips.'
	`The POST must have shrunk the cartoon, thereby deleting scenery and/or

	Someone wrote that "Curtis" is in the _Boston Globe_; it's also in
the _Houston Chronicle_.
	However, I think that it is consistently one of the dumbest strips
that I have ever read.  Once in a great while, Billingsley will get lucky
and strike an emotional chord (like the recent strip about praying for the
kids when they leave for school) or come up with something that elicits a
smile from me, but this is rare.  And I will never be amused by any "Curtis"
strip involving the barber or the kid from Flyspeck Island; those characters
are simply not funny to me.
	I rank "Curtis" below "Family Circus" but above "Miss Peach" and way
above post-Dik-"Hagar the Horrible".

	I haven't seen it in a while, but I think it's funny!  One of my favorite strips goes something like this:

	Curtis is listening to his rap music.  His father walks in and says,
"Curtis, will you PLEASE turn that 'rap' music DOWN?!!"

	Curtis says, "But Dad, you gotta go with the rhythm, and flow with the
music...flow with the lyrics!" (The Boom Box is thumping, "Shake tha' Thing!
Shake tha' thing!"
	Curtis' dad listens to the music, the  picks up the Boom Box, and
SHAKES it to death.  He then says "You're right.  I DO feel better!"

	I also like the Barber, Gunther, and how he insults the two guys, Roscoe and Earl, who hang out in the shop("Cold, ain't he Earl?")

	Have hope, Curtis.  I'm in YOUR corner.

Just curious--I'd hate to think that "Gremil" is some classic piece of
