It is absolutely true that humor varies so widely, even within the same culture.

I never really read Family Circus, but I did relate to certain things...but it was kind of tame.

Never liked Garfield. Or Nancy. I was the kind of kid who loved “Johnny Quest”...that stuff just lit my kid brain on fire.

I did like some of the Al Capp stuff, too. I did like Sad Sack, though I thought Sarge always had a pair of fat buttocks protruding from where his belly was supposed to be!

Never liked Garfield. Or Nancy.

I thought Nancy, when written and drawn by Ernie Bushmiller, was brilliant. Nancy came from a broken home and a pessimistic tone underlined its sharp and witty humor. Nancy would sometimes try to be a boy, but she was always a girl. She and Sluggo were perfect friends.

In some of the very early Family Circus cartoons, the father is smoking...that disappeared after a while.

My mother was a child when Nancy first started appearing...she never liked it.

"Henry" was boring. "Little Lulu" was another strip which disappeared.
