Go gently caress yourself, Luann. At least Bernice has an actual problem, however milquetoast and white-girly it might be. You're just upset because other people's lives don't revolve around you.

For gently caress's sake, Batiuk. iTunes's algorithm has noticed that a lot of people who like Robert Plant also like Emmylou Harris. Therefore, when you liked Robert Plant, it told you you might also like Emmylou Harris. It's playing the percentages.

There are very few places in Manhattan that aren't within easy walking distance of a subway stop. Unless this hot, hip club is out in Williamsburg, in which case have fun getting a cab after midnight! If they're taking the subway 7 stops, it drat well might be in Williamsburg.

When Lynn was planning to kill off the dog in Foob because all the other characters had been aging in real time and it didn't make sense for a sheepdog to still be around after 20 years, he wrote her a letter threatening to kill off Snoopy that same week just to overshadow it. You take every word of that back.

You'd think at least one would have managed to get it right from the sheer number of attempts.

I like this one. It's from a storyline where Charlie Brown is cracking up over his obsession with the baseball team's continual failure. People claim Snoopy took over the strip at one point, but actually reading it from start to finish (thanks, Fantagraphics!), it really isn't so. His strips are the simplest ones, usually quick, repeating gags, but I still enjoy their daffiness. And the other characters maintain Schulz's theme of semi-adult neuroses in child-size characters. Peppermint Patty deals with single-parent households and feminine body issues (a topic that would be noteworthy today, let alone in the 1970s). Sally is about school anxiety and not really knowing what's going on when you're young. Rerun's about that last part, too, often in a very good way. Linus, Lucy, Charlie Brown, and Schroeder are pretty much the same as they were in the "classic" period, and with the addition of Marcy as Peppermint Patty's foil, we get the crush triangle between her, Peppermint Patty, and Charlie Brown. Schulz also cuts a lot of dross around this time; Violet, Original Patty, Shermy, and even Frieda had outlived their usefulness (this Head Beagle story is pretty much the last major thing she'd be a part of), to say nothing of 3, 4, and 5. ("Who?" Exactly.) Franklin rounds out the cross-town cast, and around now we also get one of my favorite Schulz creations: Spike. There's something about Spike that's just so bizarrely existentialist that I can't help but love him. I would read a strip just about Spike.

Strontium posted:I kinda love these. It's rare that Calvin & Hobbes goes for wordplay, but the silly gags do a lot to lighten the tone of the comic. Between the snow goons, the monsters under the bed, and dad getting preachy, a simple pun can do a lot of good. The pacing is great.
