Ed needs one helmet because he's afraid his daughter will injuriously crash the car but he doesn't care if she gets hurt.

Yeah so it just happened to work out identically to the point where not only is the history identical to the year, and all the historical characters identical, but they also have exactly the same popular culture staples, bands, movies, books and superheroes as we do! Except they're all animals!

Amazing world building, holbrook.

Well now they also never pollute somehow despite having like F-14s and regular trucks and trains and stuff, let's not forget that.

Yeah that's where I get off the morning person joke train too. I'm a quick riser so it's not personal experience but all the big babies about it I do know never hit the point where they're still blind and dead to the world but also have prepped a full breakfast including three beverages.

I read Our Boarding House religiously. It's that rare combination of really really old but also understandable And not demolished by chicken scratch lettering and the ravages of time. Plus the characters are great.

So I remember when Rose is Rose was first being discussed before being brought in there was a lot of discussion about it being unpleasant in a sort of 9 Chickweed Lane Way. Is that something that happens later? Right now it just seems to be an artist that can only draw ballet poses and untroubled people and if those two things cannot reach a punchline well gently caress you they're syndicated anyhow.

Being naked is the leading indicator of impending death on Hellworld, I'd invest in a Kingpin suit if I was this guy.

The art style in current Alley Oop makes them look like car seats that came to life, what did it originally look like?

Ah my favorite genre of K&K: In which the kid gets a Christmas present that is just the basic rear end food they need to eat anyway. Like if you woke up Christmas morning and were astonished and delighted to see a box of Cheerios alone under the tree.

I feel like K&K is just waiting for a reveal that plants are also sapient in this universe and there is literally no part of the food chain that isn't murder

poo poo, maybe photosynthesis in this universe also somehow involves murder, little cartoon photons screaming as they're used to synthesize ATP

They routinely carry on conversations with the tree some of them live in and the hedgehog one is a therapist for plants. Hell even Rudy's car is sentient.

Okay Luann let's just get to the part where she sees a happy mom in a park and decides that love is the only thing they actually need.

Kinda weird how he's okay with his wife eating fellow herbivores.

Those herbivores were idiots that were simultaneously running around naked and looking at *some gizmo* like morons, plus they hadn't been adopted by the protagonists and their ever-growing circle of wacky baby factories, so no one cares if they died.

Indeed, human sized but not human, thank you. Also please do ensure I have knockers, as any ferret or whatever other ill-defined blob creature I am would, should they be enlarged.

So which is preferable, a strip that slowly sheds characters down to the core family like Foxtrot or Garfield, or one that eternally branches into new ones like K&K?

Like just get a blank one you boring fug. It doesn't matter because the only thing your mom actually likes is rolling her eyes at failure so you already got her something.
