Calvin and Hobbes! Classic!
I love how Xe has the striped shirt thing and all.
Hmm...Is Twap going to be the girl that Calvin always throws snowballs at? What's her name?
And Snitter's gonna be a space alien, isn't she?
These are so cool, Gloria. SO cool!

Or am I totally wrong and seeing this screwed up because it's late?

I think her name's Susie, is it?

And yay!
Calvin and Hobbes!
And now that we know that this vacation weeks will last for a month, and when it stays with one week = one artist, well, who do you think could be the two other ones still to come up?

Well, if this is Pogo, that explains why I don't recognize it. I've never seen it.

But yeah, if it's not Calvin and Hobbes, that could be coming up. I dunno. Possibly also Garfield (Snitter==Odie!), but who knows? These are Gloria's favorite picks coming up, and I don't know what those are.

Pogo? What is Pogo?
I only know it as this type of...erm..."dancing".

To me it looks like Calvin and Hobbes though...Xe is Hobbes (tiger stripes = striped shirt) and Keer is Calvin.
BTW, when we're right now talking about them (or at least I do

), how about finding out <a href="http://www.geraldfield.com/cgi-bin/unof ... eyou">what Calvin you are?</a>

By the looks of it, I reckon it is Pogo.

No... it's not Calvin and Hobbes, the background is too textured. C+H was always white, sometimes even the floor was white. And Glory better not do a Garfield week, I don't understand why so many people like Garfield, it's so stupid. The same jokes over and over, just in different contexts and with a different opening line. It was funny the first few times Odie was kicked off the table, and when Jon was called an idiot by Garfield, and Garfield slept through an earthquake, but not for the hundred or so other times.

That is SOOOOOO cute gloria!!!

Gloria · Post by **Gloria** » Mon Mar 18, 2002 8:41 am

Yes, it is Pogo!

I realize that it does at times bear resemblance to C&H, but, as has been pointed out, Pogo always had very detailed backgrounds, which I have TRIED to capture here, but... yeah. Vacation and all that rot, wot wot. (Ech, I knew I shouldn't've read Taggerung...)

G'day.

(P.S., don't worry. I didn't do Garfield. And I didn't do family circus, either.)

Hi all!

Whoo-hoo, Pogo!
distinct style, lots of background, and all the backwoods accents. I recognized it, but then I've seen Pogo before.

sincerely,
fibulo

Gaeron... That was just... rude... Uh oh... twitchrant!

Ya know what pisses me off? People that don't think before they speak. I see a post like that one up there and I think, 'OH BOY! lookie! We got a LIVE one here. Yet another mook that makes me wanna run away screaming.'

Ya know, you could just say, "I don't really like Garfield, so I wouldn't really be much into an Untitled imitation." Oh NOOO! You gotta be a jerk about it and do this little bash fest on it. Ok fine, you go out and write a comic, make it funny enough to be printed in like 20 languages and a bazillion city newspapers and THEN you can critque on Garfield. Have a freaking heart! This man spent his life trying to make people laugh. It's one of the most well known comics, has some very beloved characters, and you just stand up and bash it like its some cheap prostitute on a street corner. Take a hint, theres this thing you don't have, its called TACT!

Granted you're entitled to your opinions, but when you have one like that. Have some consideration for other people. Go back and watch Bambi or something. Remember what old Thumper said? "If you can't say somethin' nice. Don't say anythin' at all." Learn that. It's a good lesson and one that may keep you from getting beaten to a bloodly pulp. By me. o.-

*glances around nervously* Oh... well... will you LOOK at the TIME! Um... I've got to... um... meet someone at the... thing... for the um... yeah. BYE! *scampers for the exit and runs out the door*

Rico... give me one original comic from Garfield that isn't a joke that's been done twelve thousand times.

I know it's hard work to write a comic, I couldn't do it because I can't draw for beans, so that point is completely moot. If I could draw, I'd at least have the sense to make some parts of my comic original. I know most comics don't have new jokes every day, that most comics repeat punchlines and general topics, but when you have five general topics, and that's all you use, it gets dull.

That's what's Garfield's problem. Five jokes, "Garfield sleeping, Garfield eating, Garfield not wanting to go to the vet, Jon is an idiot, Odie is stupid." I don't think I've ever seen a joke go beyond those five.

This is why I like Untitled!, why I like Real Life Comic, why I like Sluggy Freelance, why I like Ozzie and Millie. They're all funny because they have different jokes all the time. They don't repeat the same joke for an entire week (okay, maybe "Pete is Lazy" week on Sluggy, but that was just silly)

*slaps forhead*

Geeeeeeeeezzz...
C'mon guys, do you realize that you're arguing about COMIC STRIPS? Now, maybe it's some warped kind of art form, or whatever, but... geez, Gaeska, save your arguments for the RFF, eh pal? I don't wanna see a war erupt, okay guys?

*sigh*

Rico Underwood · Post by **Rico Underwood** » Tue Mar 19, 2002 4:23 pm

HAHA! I'd stay and yell inanely but I just wanted to see if you were that easy to bait.

Anyway I could give a thousand reason why any comic sucks. That includes Untitled, of course all those reason start with 'T' mwah ha! *Gets stuffed into a little jar by Gloria*

But seriously, just think before attack. Other comics have feelings to ya know. Now I get back to doing scene sketch's for that the untitled fic.

Oh hey. Gloria? You want me to send it to you before I post here right? I wanna make sure I don't write anyone out of character.

Heh...yeah, Rico, go ahead.
