Comics

I love the comics. I read every one of them every day. I love to read them when I'm traveling because my local newspaper doesn't print many - and some of them in my paper are pretty lame. But I read them anyway.

On the other hand, some of the newer strips like "Get Fuzzy" and "Pearls Before Swine" are brilliant.

It's interesting how you can read a strip for years and really get to know the characters. In "For Better or For Worse" we know that, despite dating several guys, Elizabeth is going to end up with that old boyfriend with the daughter. (He's even shaved off his mustache for her.)

On the other hand, what exactly is the persona of Cookie Bumstead?
