Garfield vs. Winnie The Pooh - 35 years ago (6/19/1978)
|
| |
35 years ago Today two comic strips made their debuts in newspapers.
One was Disney's "Winnie The Pooh", the other was an unknown cat named "Garfield".
I'm not 100% certain but my belief is more newspapers picked up Pooh that day than they did Garfield (in large part due to the obvious name recognition).... more »

Knacks (Big Top reruns, 19 June)
|
| |
I really like today's strip. I think I have a soft spot for animals showing supernatural talents for their natural abilities. A similar example was an _Over the Hedge_ where the gang needed to find one particular fish out of the pond, and RJ reaches in without even looking and pulls it out, attributing it to just one of those instincts... more »

Another Beefwit bites the dust
|

[link]
I can't really articulate why this strip is the final straw for me. Is it because we're digressing from (what passes for) the plot for another episode of "Professor Horndog and Her Milquetost Fucktoy?" Is it because this has made it perfectly clear that women in... more »

Shades of Rip Kirby: Cat burglar is a real cat
|
| |
Some of you may remember the detective Rip Kirby episode which ran for most of the fall of 1977. In it, a burglar uses a cat named Velvet to sneak into windows and steal jewelry.
Of course, no one is likely to try that in real life, since even cats have their limits when it comes to sheer brick walls, and the windows would have to have the screens up as well! Not to mention that women don't typically leave pearls and diamonds lying in the open.... more »
