Vacation Comics Update
Ahhhh . . . a nice week at the beach, enjoying the comic stylings of the Wilmington Star-News. What goes on in the WS-N comics pages, you ask? Well, there's no Garfield, no Mutts, and no Marmaduke. Do the good folks at the WS-N have something against pets??? Not that any of this is a great loss, but I did leave Garfield on such a high note -- Jon's triumphant pairing with Liz, the vet -- that I wonder what went on in the interim. I see today that Garfield is going to use an acetylene torch to open a can of cat food. HA HA HA! I am too lazy to see what went on all week.
While I did get to read FBOFW daily, I see that the Liz -n- Anthony storyline is on hiatus while we get a week of April's band followed by April-goes-to-the-farm. Snooze. Come on, enquiring minds want to know -- will Liz ditch Mr. Wright in favor of Mr. Milquetoast?
There was no Funky Winkerbean, so I am completely flummoxed at today's hospital scene. What happened here? Food poisoning is my guess. Can anyone confirm for me? I am almost interested enough to go back and catch up on what I missed.
What was the best part of the Wilmington Star-News comics? No Family Circus! In past years, the FC was shoved into a random part of the Classifieds. I looked one day, but didn't see them. HA HA HA! Way to go WS-N! And -- no Peanuts! Thank you, WS-N, for not bowing to the "MUST HAVE PEANUTS" mindset.
The paper did have a daily dose of that horrendous Mallard Fillmore -- in fact, my next post will likely be a ranting, raving, anti-Mallard screed. Plus, the paper had Pluggers, which is a strange strip. I've got to think about Pluggers for awhile.

In Funky Winkerbean, Mr. Montoni made Ranch dressing pizza. Yum, right? No. It was supposed to be refridgerated (the dressing). Then in the groom's suite, whatshisface fatguy and Les are getting ready. They both feel like they're about to explode through their mouth or backdoor. There is, the summary of Funky Winkerbean in Layman's terms.
I'm so glad you're back. I've missed your updates.
I admire you're courage volunteering to spend time reading Mallard Fillmore.
You'll have to loosen up your definition of "comics" however. I figure once you've advocated for a Cambodia- or Comunist China-style cultural revolution, complete with re-education camps and a eugenics program for half the population, you've crossed the line into being an illustrated Ann Coulter. And while admittedly cartoonish, it's too malevolent to be considered comic.
This comic perusing sounds like it might be a good story for my series called Vacations and Families and Couples, Oh My!
