    And what’s the background on Timmy Fretwork? I only started reading this one recently.

    Hector, that’s Nara. I think her father works at the National Archives.

    vldazzle - not sure I’m the expert (though I DO play a banjo), but here goes - Timmy Fretwork is a banjo-playing man who does not appear to be especially successful in that or any other gainful employment. He and Miss Bliss are engaged and she is quite pleased about the whole thing (I believe their relationship is one of some long standing). Fretwork showed up for awhile to help out at the pre-school. He wasn’t any better at that than he likely is with any other job.

    I’d say they are made for each other. Just enjoy the rock for now, Alice.

    Is she ready to give up being called Miss Bliss and become Missus Fretwork?

    Would Blisshaven Academy be redubbed as Fretwork House?

    Such good, wholesome humor here.

    Also, Timmy Fretwork and Miss Bliss have been engaged to be married several times in the past, but keep breaking it off (because, well, you know…).

    Every morning I read this strip and think how much better it is than “Peanuts.” I’d like to see it in many, many more papers.

    Oh, now, Munodi, better than Peanuts? On par, especially if you’ve read the older Peanuts. But I’ll confess I like Cul de Sac much better than most comics today and, frankly, a lot better than (I’ll get beat up for this) Calvin and Hobbes. Re-reading the old C&H strips makes me realize what a little stinker Calvin is. He were my kid, he’d be locked in the basement with only rats and peas to eat.

    Kids who are stinkers make for great comic strips. “Dennis the Menace” USED to be a hellraiser, and that strip USED to be funny…

    Ah, yes, fritzoid, the famous “Y.c.t.d.a.B.M.” One of my favorites also.

    I’ve seen the animated Cul de Sac videos (see Wednesday’s link) and they are hoots. The opening is PERFECT!!!

    Thanks, Steve and Fritzoid, a “banjo man” or other musicians (and now, sports figures) are just not good relationship material;-) I just checked back (things have been very intense at X on Luann and I’ve had challenges) AND I don’t sit here all day; I’ve been out in the garden;-)

    If you want to marry a musician, marry a cellist. It’s hard to ramble while playing a cello. Violinists have a tendency to stroll, but that’s usually manageable. Give a man a BANJO, though, and ramblin’ will surely follow…

    What’s that line Luke’s mother said in “Cool Hand Luke”? “Your old man, Luke, he wasn’t much good for stickin’ around, but, dammit, he sure made me laugh!” That’s probably where Luke inherited his banjo talent from.
