Poast new message in this thread
Date: February 18th, 2019 11:20 PM Author: lemon infuriating yarmulke It was on the front page of my paper's Sunday comics section, right under Peanuts, and later Calvin and Hobbes.

Dagwood Bumstead was marginal...his sandwiches were the only good thing about it...sarge and beetle bailey was also stupid...
dennis the menace was annoying...and the tv show was worse..
