I actually kind of like those old Funky Winkerbeans. It's like Luann, but just kind of bland instead of incredibly awful.

Sometimes I have so much stuff that even I'm surprised at what I find. Case in point, this is from "The Funny Times", a monthly news publication that reprints comic strips and editorial cartoons from all stripes (mainstream newspapers, edgy alternative, etc.). In one issue they printed a full-page comic parody by Ward Sutton, a favorite in the Editorial Cartoon thread for his Stan Kelly cartoons published by the Onion. Sutton uses his "Kelly" persona to make fun of OP/ED cartoons, here, he parodies the entire comic strip line-up. Enjoy!

Dustin Someone Red and Rover this because I don't get it.  Hi Helen. I'm a 23-year-old college grad stuck in a cycle of dead-end temp jobs and had to move back home, and everyone in my lovely family enjoys making my life miserable. How do I stop the bullying?  Shouldn't that be an invitation to gouge him for cash? A lawyer who knows nothing about cars? On the Fastrack  This deserves a greater facepalm than anything in Kevin and Kell.   The whole week was really bad tech jokes so I'll spare you the others. Safe Havens  What about that tenure track Sam?!? Do you know how many postdocs are going to kill for your position?  He's getting some lame-o space bacterium named after him so who cares.  I wonder how dodos taste.

He jokes that his dad's metaphorical conscience overheard his own. (It's a joke about the angel and devil sitting on each shoulder representing someone's conscience in cartoons.)

OK. Vintage Funky Winkerbean, the first few pages from 1974's "Closed Out" (including a special guest appearance by John Darling, Action News Reporter!)     You'll see 17-year old Les Moore in the next thrilling installment.

The school counselor being a talking computer is hilarious. Man, Funky Winkerbean really was strange back then. In a good way (vs. strange in a bad way with today's strips)

Another bonus comic. Of all the comic strips in newspapers, MAD really loved to parody "Peanuts". For practically the strips' entire existence MAD liked to poke fun at them. Here's a list of them. Of course, it's only fair that Charles Schulz get back at them. And he did in July 5, 1973.  10 years later, an hour-long special It's an Adventure, Charlie Brown aired on CBS. It was basically a compilation of storylines and gags from the newspaper strip, animated for television. The "Mr. Sack" storyline, which ended with the above strip, was among those animated. Wish I can find a clip, I remember going "HUH!?" when I first saw it as a wee child.

That first sentence could seriously use a comma. Intelligent Life   The artist for this must be from another planet. How else could someone get human facial structure so utterly wrong? Francis    The bile flung at Obama is actually quite a bit like religious fervor; Republicans are seriously dedicated beyond reason to hating the man. Hop over to the Politoons thread if you want a taste of that, but consider yourself warned. Also, grenade-jugglin' Francis is the best and might get me to finally spring for an av.

Yeah, I ain't getting it either. LEX ASSOCIATES = TACO. How do you do that? Bleeker: That wasn't a condom he licked. It was a blob of goo. No, I don't know why he wanted to lick a slug. Here he is chasing a frog. Maybe he wants to lick it.  I think Bleeker's author is getting into the harder drugs or something. Pickles makes sense. I would do this.  And just for all that bitching, I'm getting the complete MAD out again and cherry picking some stuff to post soon.
