As a kid, I remember how I would practice drawing the figures from both B.C. and The Wizard from Id. Good times.

Is B.C. linked to Wizard of Id? I thought I recalled some crossover stuff with BC and something else.
Speaking of drawing, has your son drawn anything cool?

While I'm sorry for their families' loss, I never found either strip amusing.
I agree with Labor with the exception being that I always find stripping amusing

I just set 'em up, folks. Fred knocks 'em over. :rolleyes: ;)
I would never knock a stripper over - I am a feminist after all
that's called irony kids don't take it personal

haha. this thread might become evidence in another post or two.
Why? I've confessed to two murders, liking strippers but never knocking them over, and that I like retreading bad wayne's world jokes.
which one of those is a crime?

Yeah I just keep thinking of all the stuff that I could be working on for this weekend instead of staring at my laptop with nothing to do.

Oh, poor Steve, got your thread-napped? I liked Wizard of Id and B.C. as a kid, but I think it's a generational thing. Oddly, that idea, Steve's Avatar, and reading this thread makes me think of something I heard once.
Recording of "The Big Show" (Last bit gasp of radio in about 1950) guest starring Groucho the old veteran, and Dean and Lewis when they first hit it big and were blazing hot and funny.
Groucho: (starts to say a line, stops mid sentence)
Jerry Lewis: "Whatcha thinkin' Groucho?"
Groucho: "I'm thinkin' I never thought I'd be playin' the straight man to a kid like Jerry Lewis..."
B.C. and Wizard of Id? Definitely a generational thing. New generation, new thing. But hey, Rest in Peace, Parker and Hart.
