Why do you WANT to annoy me?

I don't understand. "WANT" suggests having a reason. Why do I need one of them?

Malc, the Bud Neill stuff was great. Sadly, I never saw it when it was on the go (We didn't get the Glasgow Evening Times up North) but I've tried to catch up in recent years. Surreal magic.

I only laugh out loud at Beau Peep and Herman.

I think Larson is brilliant and I thought Footrot Flats and Peanuts ? cute and sentimental. I hate Garfield.

I bought my son (13) the complete Calvenn & Hobbes boxed set of three hard covers for Christmas ? he was made up ? I don?t think they are very funny at all but he read them all before the New Year. He also likes Garfield and Peanuts.

I was able to buy my oldest son (16) every cartoon book of Hagar on eBay once as a job lot  ? he loves them. I also promised him my Beau Peep collection when I?m gone. This was because we were sitting on the top of the Ferris wheel and it was going back and forth and I was afeard for my life ? I promised him the books if he stopped making it swing back and forth.



Diane, when Hagar first appeared, I thought it was excellent. However, after its creator Dik Browne died and it was taken up by his son, I felt it lost quite a lot. The artwork remained much the same but, in my opinion, the scripts never had the bite of the original.

You're our favourite cartoon stripper, and we respect you most highly, Kettle-features.
Nostalgia is not what it used to be. 😟

I thought we weren't supposed to say that? Cat's out of the bag now.
I apologise, in advance.
