My mum once told me that Calvin's parents eventually got sick of him and murdered him. :D

"And that's why there are no new strips." would've been perfect. (My dad told me that as every fourth child born into this world was Chinese, I, the fourth child in the family, was in fact Chinese.)

Suddenly after years of watching cop shows I understand this strip. That said, I like Gotham because all the ridiculous poo poo makes sense because it's, y'know, Gotham.

He's not asking for a cop show where they talk normally as opposed to her cop show that's genre-steeped; he's asking for a cop show instead of her Shakespearean drama.

I remember that specific strip tripping me up for the longest time, too. Calvin's line needs an "or something" or something.

Randaconda posted:

that's thing that annoys me about Garfield. Jim Davis can actually be funny, early Garfield was pretty good for a newspaper strip, but he got paid and just doesn't care.

I used to love Garfield when I was about 10, and I think a lot of the strips from that time still stand up pretty well so far as newspaper comics go. Especially the one's where Garfield is depicted as a disaffected sociopath.

As always, Garfield Minus Garfield straight up does a better job at distilling the weirdness/existential angst in the originals to present it in a better, more condensed form.
