I was actually being kinda condescending to the nonsense you both had previously posted. But, thanks for playing, anyways; I imagine that if you keep reading others' posts, you'll find that reading a diversity of viewpoints can actually strengthen your arguments, if you'd only let them.

Give it up. Quit while you're behind. Sleep it off.

Oy.

[Turbopilot]

You're right; I thought we were discussing serial strip-based humor. In your case, you're right, my preferred comic is obviously not in the running, as it doesn't run in any notable newspapers. I guess that's a win for you, even though your arguments were never based on the definition of a "comic strip" that you want to apply here. So, um, congrats?

[Turbopilot]

LOL. Yeah, if while "behind", you mean "made statements that the anti-intellectual side has not even attempted to refute". Since y'all seem to appreciate each other's inability to make a logical argument so much, I'll donate your common symbol:



I'm goin' to bed. I'll let y'all fight over who gets to use it as their signature.

That's one small Steph for Dan, one giant leaf for Dan's sign.

Fair enough then the story I have heard is incorrect, but if he is not doing enough to protect his copyrights in the characters they may well become public domain if they are not now.

I'll let y'all fight over who gets to use it as their signature.

It already has a home... you are the one posting the cry baby graphic.

[Flux Capacitor]

Yeah, I don't understand why there hasn't been more of a crackdown on that, either. It's a shame.

Thinkin' Gal, have you ever noticed that when someone insists on having the last word they usually seem to think that makes them "right"...

Who would have ever thought that a discussion of something as sublime as C&H would degenerate into such a pathetic squabble over something so irrelevant ... ?

G'night, Thinkin' Gal

[Hank Rearden]

There is a comic who has superceded Bil Watterson's genius.

I went to your link. Read a couple dozen from the beginning. Checked out a couple other story arcs from a couple years of the strip.

Worst. Strip. Ever. P. U.

[Hank Rearden]

Doesn't anybody like "Get Fuzzy"?

I read it here every single day. And I'm warming up to Pearls Before Swine.

[ExDemSince92]

Walt Kelly is the only worthwhile thing to ever come out of Disney.

Pogo was brilliant.

[ExDemSince92]

The little mute indian who wrote on his little pad?

Yep!

His name was Lotsa Luck.

I liked Limpid Lizard (The dumb Indian), too.

[KneelBeforeZod]

[trubluolyguy]

Bloom County! I totally forgot that one! That was hilarious.


wait a minute that one had Opus the penguin right?

[Squantos]

Yep my favorite strip was where they were all relaxing on the couch in their underwear drinking soda pop and some lady was giving em shit about that which was most important in their lives and they all pull the waistbands on their BVD's out and look inside.........LOL !

It was a hoot !

[trubluolyguy]

Steve the batchelor lawyer with NO scruples. OMG he cracked me up.

[Squantos]

I remember when Berkeley Breathed broke his back in an ultralite accident and the guy in the wheelchair was put in the strip....funny stuff.
