I still don't understand how every single attempt at ripping off the Far Side manages to be so bad. You'd think at least one would have managed to get it right from the sheer number of attempts.

Because Gary Larsen was being himself, whereas the ripoff artists are trying, and failing, to be Gary Larsen.

Thanks, I like Mopsy, too. I wish I had a source with better quality. I have some great ones from later in the run, total WWII strips - but I want to work through the 1939 strips before we get to Mopsy At War. A taste:

Luann


Usually we're supposed to hate Shannon for being an annoying lovely kid who's always seeking attention, that way we don't hate Toni for constantly dumping her on other people.

At the moment, though, it is probably safe to think that we're supposed to find Shannon's act cute because the Evanses are more interested in making us hate Jonas, Shannon's father, because he's always dumping Shannon on other people.

quote:

Who doesn’t likes that Disney Land song? (Scar of “The Lion King” for one.)

quote:

I still say they should turn A Small World into a Laser Tag shooting range. The manikins being the targets. Has nothing to do with race but annoyance.

quote:

So much for Jonah’s cover story, that he and his guitar were doing a duet with Shannon. Clearly, that’s not what Shannon is telling us!
Pru, do your duty. Shannon’s “act” is not up to snuff. Scratch her from the call-backs….

quote:

So, with Shannon’s dance routine, what will happen?

1) Will Luann teach her a bit of choreography…. and potentially do an act with her (I personally think Luann could do the act with Bernice AND another with Shannon)?

In this scenario, however, the new question would become…. can Luann dance? I do not really know. But for some reason, I immediately imagined Luann dancing like Elaine from “Seinfeld”.

2) Will Shannon perhaps get Toni & Brad to participate in the “Follies”? Thus far, those two have not been involved in this arc, so perhaps it is a way for the three of them to have some “family” time and to get Brad and & Toni both into the arc.

This seems a more likely avenue than Luann being Shannon’s partner.
