Arnold (December 12-18, 1983)       That Sunday strip isn't a rerun, btw. It was obviously drawn during the early days of the strip, but for whatever reason it didn't get published until a year later.

It's always fun reading speculation about Haraiso Days - as I keep saying, a lot of what I unironically love about Maruoka's comics is how you know where it's going to go but have a good time getting there anyway. Cthulhu and Girl

Crabgrass Old School Peanuts (Oct 9, 1953)  See, maybe if you kept up your friendship with Shermy instead of hanging out with Lucy and her brother all day you'd actually get to kick the ball once in a while. Calvin and Hobbes (Apr 6-7, 1992)   The 6 year old's imaginary friend is correct about the devil and the nature of man imo. Big Nate  Blind Alley  Oof.

I don't think he's a knocker-upper, I think he's using the crook to close windows so the people who have had a cool room all night don't have to get out of bed with the window open.

I'd bet that Batiuk was an unpopular dweeb in high school, was too intimidated to actually show up at any of his class' reunions, and this is how he imagines things went down: a bunch of old sad sacks having a group therapy session.

 SHUT THE gently caress UP ABOUT MUSES In other news, Comics Curmudgeon has alerted me to this development in Gil Thorp:  We haven't had Gil Thorp in this thread for a while and it recently got a new writer, so this might be a good time to start posting it again to see how it is. If anyone has any strong opinions one way or the other, now's the time to say them.

Batiuk lost me when the most popular queen bee of the class started pretending she "felt left out" without any actual story to it. Wanna show that the person perceived as winning is still having problems? Cool. Just tossed it in and expect anyone to believe it? Nope! Is there a non-obvious reason Rex couldn't bring his dog with him in his trailer?
