Everyone Is Familiar With Brutus

January 5, 1967

I love bird names. So many letters just to say "Eastern towhee".

I understand why Brutus is looking at that woman. She's gigantic! She's over six foot tall, she has to be. She's okay, right? Her gargantuan height isn't going to kill her is it? She looks like she's living her best life though.

Hmm. Wilberforce and Hattie must be in different classes this year. Or maybe the teacher dyed her hair black in the last week.

It would've been funny if yesterday's comic was Brutus actually setting up today's strip. "Hey, Pop, can you help me with my homework?" "Sure, what do you need help with?" "What's a gnu?" "Nothing much, what's gnu with you? Hyuk hyuk!" But again, I don't have a successful syndicated comic strip.
