Barney & Clyde by Gene Weingarten; Dan Weingarten & David Clark for January 29, 2021

Isn’t warping Reality what comics are all about?

Time runs at its own pace in the Tooniverse

Wow…it’s hard to believe it has been 11 years…I’ve been reading this strip from the beginning and love it…time flies!

BUNNY!

Barn? Dorian Gray is on the phone.

She looks good for her age.

Wow…actually made me do the math. Blondie was first published in 1930 making the strip 91 year old. Assuming that she was 24 at the start of the strip, she’s is indeed 115 years old. Then there’s Gasoline Alley…

The Katzenjammer Kids began in 1897, and while the last original strip was published in 2006, it is still in Syndication…

And 115 years ago, Dagwood was a rich & idle playboy*, whose parents hated Blondie because they thought she was was a golddigger.

*That circle on his chest (OK, I haven’t read that one in close to 50 years, but since it had held on over the previous 65 years as he morphed to middle-class cubicle rat, I’m just assuming it’s still there) is a remnant of those days; it was originally a shirt stud to go with the tux he always wore.

Love the evolution of the rabbit’s response

Hmph. Blondie debuted in 1930. Do the math!

And Garfield would set a Guinness record for cat longevity if he were real.

If the comic strip characters don’t age (as in this strip), then the rabbit can live forever.

And she’s still a bombshell.
