GATURRO: “cama elastica” translates as elastic bed, but it looks like a mini trampoline to me. Apparently G. prefers the “bed” definition. ZZZZZZ seems to mean the same – Spanish or English. lol
FUNKY W: I still read a hard-copy newspaper. :-)
MARY WORTH: A Dostoyevsky quote, Hang your merit. I don’t seek anyone’s approbation.
FW: this is how my dad and I spent our mornings! I’d start with the comics and would sometimes have to wait until he got home from work to get the Sports page. I still have the paper “thrown” every day.
Gaturro Sometimes the strip just needs no translation. This is what my cats would do.
FW I stopped taking the paper many years ago. Not because I disagreed with anything they might print, but because we had such a busy life that we would pick it up off the porch and toss it into the recycle bin. We got tired of paying for something we never looked at. Now we are just out of the habit.
Judge Parker I really don’t like where this strip has gone.
Classic strips I am really enjoying these old strips. Rip Taylor, Apartment 3G, Juliet Jones and even the older versions of Mandrake & Phantom. They are a lot of fun.
FUNKY W: I read a second-hand daily newspaper. It’s a long story, but for a year and a half now, I have been walking a half block down to a neighbor’s house where he leaves his newspaper for me on the front porch (weighted down by a flower pot). Sometimes the neighbor is on the porch or in the yard and we chat; sometimes I just get to say “hello” to one or more of his three cats. Part of the long story is that I had a problem with the newspaper delivery vehicle coming up into my driveway at 6 a.m. to turn around, which was waking me up, and I couldn’t seem to get through to a live person to resolve the matter. But the second-hand system works and saves some trees in the process. I am just about to read the paper and will check out PRINCE VALIANT, as I sometimes find the dense text in that strip easier to read in the hard copy.
Judge Parker – I especially don’t like the development today, though it may be rather common for couples to react so differently to a crisis that it creates a distance between them that can’t be bridged. For supposedly well-educated people, they have certainly been tone deaf in dealing with Sophie. An intervention from Mary Worth is needed.

Gaturro – Cute.
Sally Forth – When the house gets so cold that your breath turns to steam (panel 5), it’s time to turn up the heat.
Phantom – Whoops. He missed. Phantom, I mean. He failed to hit the stars in mid-air.
Funky Winkerbean – Honestly, I miss those days.
