Call me naive–you won’t be the first–aren’t both of these ladies mainly defined by their glee in telling Calvin “no”?
No love for the Playboy Granny?
You must really like her, since you posted about her six months ago. dougie monty answered in the very next post (#156 )
I should hope so, if we wanted Calvin to avoid being dead or maimed for life. Living in a fantasy world is one thing, acting out whatever his fevered brain comes up (jump off the roof and fly?) with is another.
Similarly, Alice, Dennis the Menace’s mother, is often considered attractive.

Wasn’t there sort of an American version of Modesty Blaise? Not quite the same thing but a buxom businesswoman. Written as a serious strip. Her husband disappeared and was presumed dead at some point, and IIRC when the strip ended, it turned out he’d been captured by her arch enemy and brainwashed to hate her. I think at the end, the strip had him falling to his death from a skyscraper after he missed her when rushing forward to push her off. Does that ring a bell for anyone?
Could this be Brenda Starr ?
Well. It appears I do. Mmm, Granny.
No, it’s not Brenda Starr. They didn’t run her in my hometown’s newspaper.

I still haven’t figured out who she was but clearly remember the strip in the 1960s. Her first name I think now was Robin.
