Lio by Mark Tatulli for September 28, 2012

Classic, all the way!!!

Alan Alexander Milne vs. Walter Elias Disney

This strip is just representitive of how we view our everyday life….the old way of doing things always seems much better than the new revised way of handling issues. We can still love the first version of Winnie the Pooh as well as the newer version.

I bet on Classic.

a lot of Pooh will be flung in this no-holds-barred event…

This fight was pre-recorded so that the promoter Mark Tatulli could have a 3 day weekend.

Go, Classic Pooh! Down with the feeble Disney imitation!Oh, wait! I think I see a pot of honey over there!Allons-y!

Try to find the “Maakies” strip by Tony Millionaire where the Milne and Disney Pooh had a battle. Guess who wins?

Thanks, @yardlet6 ! I was searching for it in ‘Achewood’. Also, there’s this: http://www.trendhunter.com/slideshow/winnie-the-pooh-creations

I grew up with the Disney Pooh. GO DISNEY POOH !!! Beat the crap out of the classic pooh ! However, the way both poohs are, I doubt there’s going to be any victim out of this fight…

Shirts vs skins.

The fight will last long enough for one of them to say, “I have a rumbly in my tumbly.” Then they’ll be off looking for honey.

LOL! (And I almost never LOL reading comics)

It’s awfully elevenses….the big money is on Disney Pooh….

How much to order the pay-per-view?

Classic will beat the stuffing out of Disney. He was made in USA with pride, not Taiwan with profit. We loved you pooh.(FWIW, Loggins and Messina’s “House at Pooh Corner” was the song for the father-daughter dance at my daughters wedding.)

Oh, Bother!

Oh, that’s just wrong! A Tigger-onTigger fight would be so much more entertaining!

Disney has even turned Christopher Robin into a Girl! in the newest version of Pooh. (No Pun intended.)

Oh, Bother!

If you have Pooh, fling him now.

Just great!

As they sang in the musical Scrubs episode, ‘It all comes down to Pooh.’

“Oh bother!”

My money is on classic Pooh, all the way.

Pooh would just sit down and enjoy a butterfly, and think about huny.

Classic Pooh looks more feral. A few hits and the bear in him will come on out. Easy win.

Eeyore is in the cheering section…“We’re all gonna die”

Next on the card: L. Frank Baum’s Dorothy v. Judy Garland.

I hope, somewhere up in heaven, Shirley Lasswell is reading this and having one “bodacious” laugh!!

Oh, bother …

defiantly Classic pooh bear!!!!!!

I like the Classic Pooh the best. But the other Pooh was developed by a ruthless corporation, so I bet he plays dirty.

In that case, I’m sure you know that it is “Winnie Ther Pooh,” and not “Winnie The Pooh.”

Tigger vs. Hobbes!

Cry “bother” and let loose the Poohs of heck!

Classics are better almost all the time.

@Radish the self marginalized: Who flung Pooh?you made me laugh.

Note that since 9-23 the strips are from 2007. Mark must be on vacation.

Sort of. They usually wear open-fingered gloves (I think they’re gel-filled or something, based upon casing sporting goods on line) so they can both strike and grapple.

Let’s get ready to rumblyyyyy!!

You shoulda heard the trash talk at the weigh-in.

USA Poo all the way.
