Comic-strip trivia

Good jobs, Tensu and snac! FTR, Paige and Morton were in “Antony and Cleopatra”, but it was the same principle: they had to KISS! Aaaaaaaaaa! says Paige. Hubba-hubba, says Morton.

My sig is from Calvin, an early strip. He loudly states the obvious: “I finished my homework! I’m going outside!” etc., then pops back into the doorway and yells, “Further bulletins…” I just thought it was appropriate for the board; practically any post can be followed up on.

Mr. Lockjaw.

Mr. Kneecapper. (Both of these names were mentioned ONE time. That’s what makes it trivia.)

As promised, here’s Lawrence’s coming out sequence from 1993, in FBOFW:

79. You Can: What does Jax wear in her hair?
80. Dick Tracy: What was the name of Tracy’s longtime partner?

Why, li’l Grundoon the Groundhog, of course.

Damn, I’d forgotten how much I dug Walt Kelly - even back as a kid I was impressed with his command of the pen and brush…

Long shot, but is her name Cherry Blossom?

Sam Ketcham (sp?)

Cheryl should be so lucky! The girl’s name is Danni. She’s really nice and she and Dilton do science projects together.
I got a kick out of the story in which Jughead donned his special beanie (with the mystic pin on it), electrifying Cheryl; she walked off arm-in-arm with Jughead, leaving Archie alone with Betty! Cheryl got another jolt when she stole a dress from Veronica, for a fashion show; she didn’t know Ronnie had made it herself–and found out a minute too late, when the dress fell apart on the runway, leaving Cheryl standing there in her underwear in front of the audience! Danni wouldn’t be so thieving and vain. :slight_smile:
