The First Six People Had the Same Reaction


Crankshaft
For those who have been living under a rock for the last century or haven't been born yet, Peggy and Lee are named for singer Peggy Lee who did the voice(s) for twin Siamese Cats Si and Am in the Disney animated feature Lady and the Tramp. So it's like a double honor. But I'm really just posting this strip so I can post pictures of my local bookstore's cats.
Dashiell, named for Dashiell Hammett
and Ngaio, named for Ngaio Marsh.
Blondie
There are TWO Dagwood Bumsteads in this world? That seems highly unlikely.

The Lockhorns
This is the seventh person Leroy had told his "joke" to.

U.S. Acres
U.S. Acres tends to use the same four or five jokes: falling off a cliff, Roy's a jerk, Lanolin's a bitch, Wade's a pussy, and sign jokes. Why is Booker freaking out at the sign "yelling" at him? This happens a lot in U.S. Acres as well. U.S. Acres is a very lazy comic strip. Of course, I would do badly at my job too if I got hired at PAWS, Inc. but ended up writing and/or drawing U.S. Acres instead of something to do with Garfield.
