the Funnies
the Funnies Category: Life
This morning I did something I havent done in a while, I sat down with the Sunday Funnies.
Where some people just maybe read Garfiled, or maybe pazooze past Blondie I am a comic reader.
Growing up I always pictured myself right alongside Opus, Hodge Podge and Cutter John as they rolled down the hills looking for the Planet of Loose Airline Stewardess; I considered myself a firend of the family in For Better or Worse; I was a member of Shoe's editorial staff and I damn sure liked Funky Winkerbean's high school more than mine.
Yes in many ways these were friends of mine.
I always looked at comics like Garfield and the Lockhorns as just funny one liners and they gave me a chuckle. However the strips named above were true stories, they had an ongoing dialog.
Now elle is getting married in For Better or Worse and Funky is my age and owns a couple of Pizza Parlors. Opus now has his own strip, Cutter John isnt there alot but he does show up.
Anyway, today I found a sunday Funneis from the Chicago Tribune sitting in one of our offices. I sat down and enjoyed catching up with old friends. I hadent been in touch with some of them for a while.
It was good to catch up!
