1. almost 16 years ago on B.C.

   Show me a BC that is actually poignant and funny, and I’ll show you a BC from about 40 years ago.

2. almost 16 years ago on Calvin and Hobbes

   This is one of the rare Calvin And Hobbes strips that is very much a product of it’s time. Usually Watterson’s writing is timeless and universal. But by specifically mentioning the year in the strip he places the gag within a dated context.

3. almost 16 years ago on Lio

   What makes Lio different, though, is it’s not his imagination. The things in Lio’s world are really happening.

   Unlike, say, Calvin And Hobbes, where Calvin’s imagination WAS his world, and therefor he was able to control it. Reading Lio one gets the sense that the darkness in Lio’s world is so dark BECAUSE he’s not in control of it. Everything he experiences is really happening.

4. almost 16 years ago on Cul de Sac

   I think Mark Tatulli’s Lio was the one who checked out that book before Alice.

5. almost 16 years ago on The Academia Waltz

   I wish more of Breathed’s current work on Opus was as sharp as his student work on Academia Waltz.

6. almost 16 years ago on TOBY

   Well, let’s see. Elderberries, Barkeater Lake, Toby…. Corey may be a tad busy with his other strips to ensure timely Toby delivery.

7. almost 16 years ago on Non Sequitur

   I’ve often suspected this to be the case at every puppet show.
