Any of you's seen the comic strip (I have no idea what comic it was) where Calvin's Uncle Max was revealed to be the same actor as Lyman?<br><br>Anywho, I think Garfield is unfunny because he has LOST the ability to stand up. Or move at all, for that matter. And for what it's worth, I know of one paper -- in Lancaster, PA -- that pulled Garfield four years ago and replaced it with Get Fuzzy.

[Dr. Doog]

yeah, and i'm fascinated by SYRUP.<br><br>actually, that's true. i mean, it's illogical! how can something be both red and yellow at the same time, but not orange!?

Careful, you might succeed where Llewellyn failed!

(Astonished, I mean. Not by the artistic and intellectual prowess, though, but by the fact that I think I've actually READ this one... in an old book from the early 80's. Only with Garfield saying something else in the last panel. Not sure what it is, though. But it was definitely something more original, than, well, "bum".)<br><br>I agree that Garfield was very funny twenty years ago. Being German and being unable to find newer Garfield books at my comic store, I never had been able to catch a glimpse of the quality of current Garfield strips.<br><br>That doesn't seem to be one of the world's most horrible historic desaster, seeing this one. It is even less a desaster than Millie not winning the spelling contest. By 100 times, I think.<br><br>If "The Stupid Man's Ozy and Millie" will be as good as "The Simpsons", why not? Shame I'm not getting American newspapers, so I will not get to see them unless they're published here.<br><br>(Right. All who hate people who talk too much, stop reading now.)<br><br>By the way, this is the first post you ever got to see from me, and I hope it won't be the last. But since you can never know for sure, I want to say that I'm just like you. Not in my being German, but in my being completely fanatic about one of the most intellectually stimulating and humourous comic strips I've ever seen.<br><br>(Given the fact I've not even read "Calvin and Hobbes" nor "Peanuts" (Yeah, in Germany, those things can actually happen), this may not mean too much, for I am, therefore, not an expert in any way.)<br><br>There is only problem I have: This is the first English comic strip that actually showed me that having an "A" in English at German schools isn't quite enough to understand ANY English text you encounter. You never stop learning, do you?<br><br>Anyway, I want to thank Dave Simpson very, very much for drawing Ozy and Millie, and want to end this senseless babbling right NOW.<br><br>Thanks for listening.

Well I'd like to welcome you here, and wish you a good stay!

Three minutes! What took you so long? <!--emo&--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ns/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br><br>(Actually, I'm just kidding.

I was in Germany last year, you can certainly find Peanuts and Calvin and Hobbes there.

Welcome to the boards! Don't be surprised if somebody offers you a coupon, or a rutabega, or something like that.

This is the wrong thread for this.<br><br>...Not that that's a problem or anything.
