This week's Luann: watch out for those brownies!

Very well…this has a precedent, to be sure: The original artist for “Katzenjammer Kids” turned the strip over to his son, eventually.

Wikipedia is the first one to show up.

Many precedents. Off the top of my head, Blondie, The Wizard of Id, Beetle Bailey, and Family Circus have all passed from father to son. I’m sure there are others.

The mother looks 20 years younger than the daughter there.

Yeah, but it is gone. :frowning:

So smile, Margo, and move on.

I’m betting you aren’t a “Pogo” or “Tumbleweeds” fan.

We have met the enemy, and he is us.

Bernice has turned into a party girl after that last party she accidentally hosted in the dorm.

I thought she was a wannabe Psychologist. :slight_smile:

Not specifically eyes being closed, but I have noticed that we are generally supposed to sympathize with the people with bigger eyes. I’ve been told it has to do with looking more baby-like, which invokes our natural partental instincts–even among people who don’t like kids.

I know the difference between open and closed eyes, and large and small eyes. :rolleyes:

It’s a feature of Japanese anime.

And then, of course, there are real-life people like Peter Lorre and Angela Lansbury.
And, for long-time hockey fans, Maurice “the Rocket” Richard.

And don’t forget Bette Davis!

Oh yes…

Looks like you were heard

Closed eyes are one type of smaller eyes, as they are generally drawn smaller. It’s a very similar trope–possibly even the same one.

And why do you seem to keep taking everything in this thread so personally? I didn’t at any point think you couldn’t tell the difference. I honestly didn’t think about you at all. I answered a question you had: “Have you noticed X?” “No, but I’ve noticed similar thing Y, which seems to be related.”

It’s just normal conversation, not an attack on you. I have absolutely no reason to think poorly of your intelligence. And, even if I did, I wouldn’t hide it in otherwise innocuous conversation. I’d either not mention it at all, or come right out and say it in the Pit.

Rosa is by far the hottest female in the strip, and that idiot Gunther ditched her in Perú. If he becomes Tiffany’s tool he gets what he deserves.

Holy shit! Gunther’s all rugged and shit! That’s awesome.

Been many years since I read this strip. Good to see dude can still bring the drama. Has anyone, anywhere, actually gotten laid? I hope it’s Bernice.

Brad & Toni have alluded to doing the deed but they’re the only ones other than those who already have kids.
