The Snowman Army Returns

by Mike Chary

I confess, my exposure to classic strips is somewhat limited. I had been meaning to catch up on some of the more classic strips. "For Better or For Worse" has never really appealed to me, but some of them sounded interesting just from the title. This site has ten years of "Calvin and Hobbes".

I have mixed feelings about this strip. They are amusing enough, but oddly, none of them address the predestination of the soul or the nasty, brutish and short quality of life in state of nature. In fact, the whole strip appears to be about some kid and his stuffed toy.

I have high hopes, however, for Fantagraphics collection of the adventures of George Washington Carver and Jimmy Carter, and I hope it includes some history of the Planters company.


I also have to wonder about this Walt Kelly strip about hopping up and down.
