Poast new message in this thread
Date: February 18th, 2019 11:20 PM Author: walnut buck-toothed lay mediation It was on the front page of my paper's Sunday comics section, right under Peanuts, and later Calvin and Hobbes. It sucked, as far as I could tell (as a young child). (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4204650&forum_id=2#37805952) |

but brenda starr was not much good...
neither was Dondi...and what about that little girl with the black frizzy hair...nancy, was that her name?
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..
l'il abner was ok...
