But it would at least “build character”.
Foxtrot and Family Circus.
Those in the Know would get the “Geek” jokes, and frown upon the lame predictable circus joke that would misunderstand, or pun.
Those not in the know would frown on the “Geek” jokes, and well, just be miserable.
Somewhat related aside::
Years back, we used the VCR to film various Christmas specials. We filmed a Charles Schulz special and a Will Vinton Special.
My Mom has since commented that if you didn’t know, you would think the tape was describing food.
The handwritten label listing all of the shows had in part “…Peanuts, Rasins…”
Family Circus and The Boondocks. Culture clash to the max.
Hagar the Horrible and The Lockhorns. Both feature loveless marriages with domineering bitches as wives. Perhaps the Lockhorns could somehow travel back in time & place to Viking-era Norway.
I was going to say Boondocks and Prince Valiant.
Or For Better or for Worse and The Far Side, if only because the cast of the former wouldn’t last three weeks. If they were lucky. “…somewhere, off in the distance, a dog barked.”
Peanuts and Zippy the Pinhead. Schulz’s kids could see the world through a veil of acid flashbacks…it would change all of them except Linus, who would be exactly the same.
Calvin and Hobbes and Foxtrot.
Calvin and Jason together would either send Paige into the nuthouse…or send each other.
Contrarily:
Calvin and Hobbes and Lio. I think they’d get along.
Or:
Calvin and Hobbes and Wolverine…wait…
I always perceived Mr. Lockhorn as the bad guy in that marriage.
Prince Valiant and Hagar the Horrible
BC and Alley Oop
L’il Abner and Snuffy Smith
Popeye and Terry and the Pirates
Good Lord.
How about Terry and the Pirates with Buzz Sawyer?
Lio takes on For Better or For Worse:
I’d like to see Get Fuzzy and Pearls Before Swine together. Bucky Katt vs. Rat!
And Mark Trail’s Nazi Heathen Easter Bunny, Thanks!
Rat would take Bucky with no problem.
Luann and Jeremy from Zits could easily go to the same high school.
Didn’t they do that once? There was some kind of hiccup in comic-land, and the cast of one found themselves playing the parts of the other.
I would like to see Mary Worth morphed in with The Far Side.
Doonesbury and Mallard Fillmore. That would make for some interesting strips for a week or two.
Mary Worth and Apartment 3-G.
Dick Tracy and Mary Worth. Imagine the well-meaning beatings that would ensue.
Sally Forth and Luann.
Bizarro and Ziggy.
I thought the obvious one would be Calvin and Hobbs with Frazz
The Op mentioned Cathy and Dilbert. That would be impossible. I’m sure that Dilbert’s Co-Worker Alice would bring the fists of death upon Cathy. At least 'd like to think so.
