   Deadpan, non-plussed…the trickiest humor to get right.

   Meredith Viera = thinly disguised Meredith Vieira to avoid lawsuits Pab? Or did you just mispell her name?

   I’ll give you a typo, Pab,: misspell

   And after all these years, we still don’t know if it’s BARF-lee or BAR-fly.

   Every time I see the word “Barfly” I think of Charles Bukowski.

   most of the comics filling the daily pages could be phoned in by a team of semi-literate drones, I’m sure many are. What I don’t get is why someone who is talented and creative enough to produce a successful comic in the first place can be happy doing the same 6 jokes over and over again. Sure, the money is good but where is the pride?

   I may resent Larson & Breathard for leaving us without their humor but maybe they have it right. If you can’t be funny and original any more step aside & let some new kid have a shot.

    Nestle-Purina company had some problems with one of their treat and “wet’ food manufacturers but there dry foods have always been o.k. except that they contain corn and wheat which is proven to cause allergies in pets. This has to do with modern farming techniques and how the grains are processed. The last ten years have seen a dramatic rise in skin allergies in pets ( and gluten intolerance in their human owners ) because of wheat, corn, soy products.
    Hence the trend among the better ( and more expensive ) independent pet food manufacturers to be “organic” and grain-free, such as Blue Buffalo, Call of the Wild, and Merrick.

    Are you still afraid of Jim Davis, Pab?

    I hope you are referring to Jim Davis and his Garfield comic character. It didn’t take me more than a month back in the 70s to see that his characterizations were going to go nowhere. Silliness and repetition bore me. That his strip became immensely popular with the plebeian masses didn’t surprise me either. Reference: Network and Reality TV.

    If your comments were directed toward Pab Sungenis I have to vehemently disagree. New Adventures of Queen Victoria while not meant to be ha-ha funny is nonetheless, in my opinion, refreshingly quirky, topical, and intelligent. And Pab has been known to comment on the comments at times as well. I like that too.

    I had a recurring problem with little moths – in both adult form and larval – in Purina dry foods (so there were likely egg and pupal forms in there as well). After having this occur in several bags, I quit buying commercially available Purina dry cat food. But my diabetic cat is on a Purina prescription dry food. Haven’t had that problem with it (so far…).
