The Comics: Is what we read revealing"

[WKYonc]

I read the paper(s).
I read the comics page.

I read:
Peanuts
Zits
Dilbert
And Non-Sequitur (Except when it's an ongoing "serial").

I've never understood why these are of any interest:
Baby blues
Hi and Lois
Blondie
Beetle Bailey
Pearls before Swine
Mutts
Doonesbury: (It's political, but I just don't care to follow the everyday happenings).

Dilbert is the only one I am faithful to.

wonky - i guess you are not who i imagined/illusioned (?) you to be - what do you mean you don't understand why "mutts" is of any interest? it's the only funny that makes me laugh and sometimes even cry!

i enjoy comics of human/social/critter satire vs. political...although, this tom tomorrow strip is funny.

I haven't read the comics in years. I used to read Cathy in my younger days.

I do look at it from time to time and yes, I do see myself there sometimes. And, I laugh. One of the better ones on my list of "not watched".
Strange stuff, huh? My grandmother (My God rest her soul) loved Little Orphan Annie. I could never understand why.

My kid sister (now almost 70 years old) always loved Cathy.
The sister who all the years I was home had me my the ****.
When we were kids, I was recovering from the flu and could find nothing to read. She had left a Nancy Drew book around and I read it. And she caught me. I owed her my very life from then on, or she would have told my buddies I was a Nancy Drew fan.
Sisters can ruin your life!

Sounds like your sister and I would get on well.

When I was a kid, one of the joys of life was waiting for my dad to come home from work in NYC via the train. He always saved his evening paper for me, which I LOVED LOVED LOVED. I'd spread it out on the floor and read all the 'funnies'. Favorites included "The Ryatts", "B.C.", "Winnie Winkle", "Peanuts" and "Beetle Bailey". The Sunday New York Daily News had a whole section of funnies - in color! Wow! I loved "Teen Wise", "Dagwood and Blondie" and "Dondi". "Gasoline Alley" was fun, as well as "Moon Mullins". I never could get into "Dick Tracy", though.

As for comic books, well, "Wonder Woman" and "Archie" ruled!

Yea. My buddy's an I always liked Wonder Woman too. She had big jugs.
(See, even as kids we were pigs. It starts so early, and never ends).

I haven't gotten a paper, let alone a sunday paper for years. Back in the day however, my favorites were Calvin & Hobbes and The Far Side. I still miss those two (and at the moment anthologies of each are in the downstairs bathroom not that anyone needed to know that).

I can still remember though when I was a little kiddo, sunday night would roll around and instead of story time we would dad would read us the sunday comics. At that point Peanuts was the top front comic and every sunday he'd start off by going 'Walnuts' and we'd correct hime. I still do that little bit in my head every time I see Peanuts comics. At that point though I think the only ones I really didn't like were Prince Valiant and Zippy.

Now if we want to talk comic books.....

Well, I LIKED HER because she had big muscles, for a girl.
I also liked 'Hi and Lois' and 'The Family Circus.'
