How old were youFollow

We got the Tribune in my household whereas Garfield ran in the Sun-Times. However, on the occassions I read the Sun-Times comics, Garfield became fly-over country around age 15.

Which was a good 3 years later than Heathcliff.

About the same age? I never read or paid enough attention to it to ever come to any epiphanic conclusions.

Actually, the animated TV show was much wittier than the comic strip ever was. Plus it had the great voice of Lorenzo Music.

I can't believe it's been almost twenty years since Bloom County ended. I stopped reading newspaper comics at that time, when I was nine. I s'pose I probably stopped reading Garfield when I was six or seven.

I am thinking I stopped reading those things around 8 or 9.

26..my age at this moment because now that you mention it, that comic is about that.

Poor Jon

I'd be more apt to give my pet tiger a boy.

Peanuts is the only comic strips. Cretins.

I had to read some "Charlie Brown is Jesus" book for a High School class. At the end of the semester I told the teacher how incredibly disappointed I was in him.

That wasn't the point of it? and the funniest part? Why else would people read that


It's like when people think that American Psycho was not a comedy and was actually a horror.

The teacher, Charlie Brown or Jesus?

I guess around 20 or so, though I still read some comics like Doonesbury. And, as DSD pointed out, while I never went away from it, Calvin and Hobbes takes on a whole new dimension as a parent.

8? Forever? I was always hypersensitive to pain.

I have the Garfieldminusgarfield site bookmarked in my LittleHappyThings folder.

Comics were mostly things I read in my grandparent's houses, and other sundry people's houses. My parent's paper, and my own usual paper as an adult, is a broadsheet and barely has a comic section. I do however enjoy a lot of comics when I come across them, which is not often, these days.

A young childhood favourite of mine was Footrot Flats. It's a comic out of New Zealand, so I don't know how many of you here would know it. I didn't come across a lot of Charlie Brown in my life, but what I did was in my childhood, and I found a lot of it cruel, painful, and depressing. In some comics I don't like repetition, in others the same jokes never lose their charm. I guess it has to do with whether an idea keeps resonating with me. Bristow bores me. I like Zits, and Dilbert, these days.

Ouch. I lay here on my best friend's bed, cuddling my dog, several hundreds of miles south of where another woman is in my bed. I'd say 10 minutes ago, 33 and some change.

I had, "You Stink But I Love you" on my old laptop. Billy and the Boingers. I am voting Bill the Cat this year.
