Say, Papa Bear: Can you give me some examples?
I remember seeing Juilette and Edda embracing, and Juliette sitting on a fence with her knees about three feet apart (she was wearing slacks)…are these the examples you mean?
Dougie-
There have been several strips where Edda and Juliette have been depicted in dream sequences as scantily clad superheros. Lots of cleavage and bare hips; that sort of thing. The adjective that comes to mind is “shapely”!
I’ve seen a few of those. 
I think these women are larger-than-life * without * super-powers. But as they said once in DC Comics, “We are not responsible for logic in dreams.”
You should see some of the stuff in MY dreams! 
#1 - The Far Side
#1 - Bloom County
#1 - Calvin & Hobbes
#4 - ???
I used to read many of the cartoons mentioned on this thread at The Cartoon Cornucopia but the web site had to shut down due to damn lawyers! Anyone know of any good cartoon links?

Calvin & Hobbes was by far the most consistantly funny strip. Next was The Far Side.
Cathy and Peanuts were funny in their day but should’ve been retired years ago. Peanuts is especially boring now.
Dilbert is best current strip. Though I must add Blondie’s held up through time.
I like For Better or For Worse. I especially like the fact the kids and adults age and people get born and die like in real life. I keep wondering when the For Worse part (one of the parents dying) will come into play
sorry about mult. posts.
dont know what happened, though.nothing i did.

To Markxxx: Don’t hold your breath. The characters in “Gasoline Alley” grow and age too, but Wilt and Phyllis–who must be in their nineties now–are still very much alive.
I have to agree about Calvin and Hobbes, at least among recent strips. But Pogo has to be the best ever (and, yes, Porky was the best character).
And on another note, PapaBear said:
The TV show Red Dwarf raised a similar point, when Lister and Cat were watching The Flintstones (from memory, but close to right, I think):
Lister: I think Wilma may be the most beautiful woman who ever lived. […] What do you think about Betty?
Cat: I could go with Betty, but I’d be thinking of Wilma.
Lister: This is crazy! She’d never leave Fred!

My personal faves are Calvin & Hobbes, Baby Blues, Far Side, Close to Home, Foxtrot, and Rose is Rose. I like Jumpstart too, when the kids are talking.
I only see * Rose Is Rose * occasionally because our local paper doesn’t carry it. I used to like Pasquale’s garbled speech–kids his age always talk like that–and the way his mother used to be drawn, a few years ago. She wasw prettier then.
FBOFW is quite good, I agree. Am I the only one who likes Geech and dislikes Dilbert?
I know this is OT but I used to like Family Circus. But now those kids are just idiots.
