The Big Picture is a reality-based comic strip by Lennie Peterson. Lennie’s cat, Ginger, recently died in real life, and so he also had her die in the comic strip. In today’s panel, a woman at a store is berating him for depicting Ginger’s death.
In the last panel, she says, “What’s next? Garfield gets hit by a car? That okay with you? Beetle Bailey steps on a land mine in Iraq? How 'bout that? Little Billy gets busted stealing candy bars maybe?”
Okay, sorry, my bad. I see so many here ripping on Family Circus that I thought some would find it amusing that it was poked in Get Fuzzy. I’ve never seen it mentioned in another comic strip. :rolleyes:
