It bothers me that in Mandrake humanity decided to build a colony on the moon instead of Mars. 50 000 years into the future. I mean even if the Earth is completely paved it's still not a worse place to live than the moon.

Purjeveneestä can mean both "of a sailboat" and "from a sailboat". Havainto means a sighting, an observation, a perception etc. (any occurence of witnessing something with one's sight, pretty much).

Well, a) it's a green mouse, and b) that doesn't make any more sense because at that point hominids had been up and running for 4-5 million years.

Paige mentioned something on her FB page regarding keying the date wrong at GoComics which is the cause for the missing Mon-Wed Jane's World strips. She posted them, but I'll be damned if I can find them on her page now. If I can re- turn them up, I'll post, but in the meantime, here are Thursday's and today's:

That car is still an amazing example of design, and a number of auto manufacturers are incorporating elements of it in cars today. Those puffy front wheels are the driving motors, and later models had them on every hub. Three of them could burn out and the car would still keep going. The combustion engine only acted as a generator and didn't provide any direct power to the wheels, giving it a power-to-weight ratio that wouldn't be matched for decades.

The only problem was high fuel consumption from the always-on generator. If battery technology had been a little further along, every car would have followed the Lohner-Porsche Electromobile.

Someday we're going to have to explore the difference between a lovable loser and an unbearable downer, because that's the key to why Charlie Brown isn't Les Moore. That and not being allowed to age.

Also, Tom Bat is an unbearable prig who is convinced that he's not just drawing a comic strip, he's Doing Art, and it oozes through the tone of the strip (especially when it comes to Les). Schulz was never anywhere near as pompous.

It's like a modern day Skippy at times - kids repeat things adults say but don't really understand what they mean, hence 'hybrid of what' :thejoke:

Other times it has the very best child logic ever like dill and the mail slot or the motor not working because it was full of parts!

Peanuts is relatable, though. We've all felt like Charlie Brown at one point or another. Batiuk just spreads his rear end in a top hat and shits tragedy all over his characters. "You get cancer! And you get cancer! And you get seriously injured in Afghanistan! And you lose your arm in a traffic accident or whatever! And here's a little moment of levity, some nice people helping out a lady doing something nice for her war veteran son, OH WAIT, HERE'S THE CANCER WIDOWER MOPING SOME MORE." Charlie Brown's just sort of a sadsack overreacting on feelings we've all had before. Winkerbean is just a cavalcade of meaningless misery written by a man who thinks that tragedy is inherently deep and artistic.

Also what Selachian said about Batiuk disappearing up his own rear end in a top hat with his delusions of artistry.

I'm not a big fan of Peanuts either, and I've never really understood the fuss over the comic strip, but the Christmas special is a really, really superb piece of work.

I absolutely love the early years of Peanuts when the art was uniquely beautiful and there were typically 14 words total in each strip. But yeah, the strip that people usually think of when they think "Peanuts" has never seemed all that great to me. I don't find it strange that most people seem to love it so much, but it does make me happy to know that there are other people out there who don't really care for it.
