Four hump day strips... come on everybody, do the humpty hump!

Other comic bloggers have mentioned how Charles Schulz was way ahead of his time with Peanuts, so I guess it's my turn.

This strip was first printed in 1959. That's 47 years ago, people, long before the phrase "politically correct" meant anything.

I only discovered Lio recently, and most days it's made of pure awesome. Today is one of those days.


Brewster Rocket, on the other hand, is almost never made of pure awesome, but it's still silly fun that manages to squeeze out a decent gag now and then. Pamela's comment in the last panel sounds like it should be the name of a self-help book.


And finally, I don't think I've mentioned 9 Chickweed Lane here before, but it's definitely one of the better strips out there. Like Brewster Rocket, I started following it when I filled in for Matt for a few days, and I'm so glad I did. Today's strip is an example of how Brooke McEldowney expertly plays with the medium to produce a "joke" so subtle yet so powerful.


Now go outside and play!
