Okay, I do have something to post.

During my self-imposed exile here, I became a fan of Peter Bagge. I bought two of his books while in LA, one of them being "Stupid Comics", put out by Fantagraphics in 1991. One of the comics is "Generic Comix". Think "Super Fun-Pak Comix" from Tom the Dancing Bug, except nastier. I figure it's appropriate for this thread. Enjoy!






Not sure if pointed out, but the cartoonist is one of Jim Davis's many assistants at Paws Inc, working on "Garfield". He also did a webcomic about a barbarian called "Legend of Bill". I'm a bigger fan of "Groo the Wanderer", personally.

Val has some weird mental swings. He'll spend a month living as a slave because he wants to get a sword back, and two days later he'll give up his quest for love and become a crusader because some dude he ran into reminded him of his dad. Might as well Make a Go of it Comix.

Bagge also did a comic strip called "Bat Boy" for the trashy Weekly World News tabloid, but I can only find a handful on the 'net. IDW printed the entire run in hardcover, though.





Also, there was an attempt to turn his "Hate" comic books into animation, by DiC of all the places (the idea that DiC would try to do adult animation is laughable for me). The 6-min pilot is on YouTube

Having read "Buddy Does Seattle" and "Buddy Does Jersey" multiple times (man, I miss my old library), this is one of those instances where the animated version doesn't work for me at all, because the voice work is atrocious. (Also, agreed that the animation house I remember most for doing Inspector Gadget doing "Hate" is indeed pretty :lol:.)

Oddly, when moving some books a while back, I ran across a bunch of Peanut's collections. They must have been old, since the early ones were like 50 cents for a book! I read them all and quite liked them, especially the early years. I was wondering reading in this thread why I remembered most of them, it was from when I re-read them like 7 years ago.

Schulz said on a few occasions that he intended Charlie Brown to be towheaded, which is a fine, pale blonde. It's when they started having to color the character designs for the Sunday strips that the little squiggle on his forehead started causing trouble. And of course, Chuck only outright said he was bald in the TV specials, which aren't necessarily canon.

Sounds like it. I had (have) every collection and also had the final strip clipped (might still be somewhere in some box). The older ones don't appeal to me as much but last year I read from "The Days Are Just Packed" onward and I still think they're gold.

It's actually three perps, the doctor to the left of the big panel, the nurse in the background, and the doctor two panels after that. All three of them clearly got their 'uniforms' at a costume shop. Nurses haven't worn those little paper caps in decades, and flashlights have long made those head mirrors obsolete.

Arrest all three. It's a hat trick.
