   Not cool. I hope Snoopy steals one of the balls and makes them chase him.

   He’s taking advantage of a child. Unconscionable

   We know whose house is getting egged on Halloween. Growing up, my neighborhood had a jerk like that.

   In grade school, I tried sneaking a transistor radio, with an earphone, so I could listen to the world Series. That was back in the days when World Series games were played during the day. My teacher confiscated the radio, but gave it back to me at the end of the day.

   If I’ve seen them before but don’t remember, they’re new to me.

   Seriously. If I contacted TomBatiuk.com to ask him where in the Crankshaft archive I could find the Lillian – Eugene – Lucy story arcs, what are the odds he’d take the opportunity to shill ‘Roses in December’ to me? Anything less than 100%?

   I bet he’d even include the URLs to the bookstores in his reply.

   Mr. Wriggly appears to be despondent in panel #6. Must be a fan of Pringles.

   My Mom and her family from just north of Boston called the chocolate ones “jimmies.” I didn’t discover other colored “sprinkles” until I moved west.

   “Coca-Cola” is the second most widely understood term in the world after “OK”.

   Really? An experience of mine says otherwise. Back in 1992 in Klagenfurt Austria, I tried ordering a Coca-Cola from a woman operating a snack bar in the train station. I tried everything to make her understand. Repeating the name and pointing to a can didn’t help. Just my luck to find the only person in Austria who didn’t understand “Coca-Cola”. I ended up not buying anything.

   Later on during the same trip, I asked a young guy selling tour books if he spoke English. He answered in perfect English, as if insulted, “Well. of course I do!”

   I couldn’t win on that trip.

   I could probably find the strips where Eugene’s letter is read. I’m afraid I have no idea where the strips are when Lillian stole the letter. It would be nice if the licensing search for this comic strip worked. I’m pretty sure Lillian stole the letter in a jealous rage because Eugene chose Lucy over her.

   Perhaps ask Tom Batiuk himself for the dates by contacting him at TomBatiuk.com? Who better?

    Yet another Batiuk Defender fails to state what they like about the strip. I think this one needs to cut back on the caffeine. lol

    @Alfred: “I don’t have to talk to you because you are a troll. I am not listening to you. You are a troll! La la la la la la la la la!”

    How childish. I think their conniption fit trolls the “What, me worry?” spirit of Alfred E. Neuman.
