So what changes...

[Redundant]

I was thinking the other day, no I try not to do that every day; it hurts, about comics strips and what changes attitudes towards them.  As an example I used to devour certain cartoon strips like Fred Bassett, BC, The Wizard of Id, even the Perishers, but at a certain point something changed.  I still occasionally check them out, and even still raise a chuckle or two but it's more nostalgia than anything else.  Yet there are some which still retain their grip on my somewhat limited mentality, Andy Capp for one, and of course Beau Peep, both of which have seemed like lifetime friends at times.

So what changes...is it the readers maturity, or lack of it, the every day grind of human endurance, the cartoons themselves perhaps, do they have a certain "shelf" life?

And why the exceptions, other than there are always exceptions, which I am assuming vary amongst individuals.   I should stop thinking...

Less 'thinking' - more 'sleeping'; that's what you need!

Are there no bl***y secrets from these da*n computers, yes a sleepless night was had, on the other hand I now know exactly how many drawering pins I have, and paper clips, and...

[Bilthehut]

But have you linked all the paper clips together in a chain?

Now take your shoes and socks off, pick up the 'drawering' pins, and throw them all around you (making sure no one else is around).  That should keep you amused for a while.

Now, Bil, that's just being horrid to someone who doesn't know any better!

I couldn't help myself.  He mentioned drawering pins first.

Instead of drawering pins you could have used blew tack. Would have made life easier.

By the way, you don't need "in his car" in your signature. It works better without.

You're welcome.

By the way, Peepmaster, you don't need all those capitals in your signature, just at the beginning of each sentence.

Without "in his car", 'When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers' could refer to a coach party, ship, train, etc.  The emphasis is that he is the driver and, in dying peacefully in his sleep, his passengers are unable to do anything about their own imminent demise.

Billy the Shed - you would, of course, simply have to change the wording to "his" passengers. ;-)
