Back in the Day by Eric Scott for July 27, 2023

win with Wilkie

I love Ike. I like Cat, too.

I like Ike. ……hmm, that sounds like something from back in the day.

I miss the dinosaurs and volcanos. And a possum worked well for Walt Kelly; here, not so much.

“I like Ike” was popular Back in the Day when Eisenhower was running for prez

you should call it Ike O’Iko…gives it more flair

One consideration would be, Ike wouldn’t be the first eponymous possum — that was and forever will be Pogo. However, I frankly can’t think of a better model. So I like Ike, too.

CatnPossum

Ha! “I Like Ike!” There’s a throwback! Seriously, tho. “Ike” would be a good name for the strip. Seems relevant to the strip in its current form.

“I like Ike.” HAH!

not sure but i’m lovin’ that logo…

WE want IKE! ☺️

WE love IKE! ❤️

WE want CAT☺️

We LOVE CAT! ❤️

So there!

Don’t forget Ike’s friend the Bird! ☺️❤️

The logo is fabulous! DO IT!

How about Possum Pranks.

In 1952 I wanted an “I like Ike” campaign button but my parents were for Stevenson, In retrospect I’m happy I didn’t get one.

There’s a story line? Love the drawn lines.

I’d go with the name change. Ike would be more memorable than Back in the Day, since you would associate it with the character. I’d also use the logo for a while to set it in the minds of readers.

Will the name change help it get funnier?

I kinda identify with Ike ~ even though I am a cat person ~ so I like it! It’s eye catching. Maybe the Extra Teretsol can visit again when he finds another worm hole. … Anyways, you are stuck with me no matter what you call it.

Enough cat strips out there… I LIKE IKE!

How about something simple like “I like Ike and I like Cat Back in the Day” ? Just spit ballin’…

“I Like Ike” (Eisenhower) was a political campaign song back in the 50s.

I’m partial to Back in the Day. It falls in the B list category so I get to read it early in the “Updated today list”. If you change it, it will fall way far down to the “I” list, and not be in my top 10 reads anymore.

“Possum & Pals” would cover everybody. :)

I ike it, I ike it!

Ike ftw.

The Adventures of Ike and Cat

I took an Extra Teretsol today for my headache. Did I make that joke already? I think I did. I blame the headache.

Maybe you could change the setting to the Klondike. Then you could call the strip “Klondike Ike”, and your new #1 fan would be Joe’s dad from “Jump Start”.

“aN” extra terrestrial. I would thing proper grammar is more important than the title, though I have wondered why it is titled that – I guess I started following after it’s Jurassic period.

Oh yeah, this used to be a comic strip about dinosaurs. But none have put in an appearance in a long time, so the name change seems appropriate.

p.s. Wow, 13 years ago?! Where does the time go?

I like the current characters, and the little alien, too. But I also liked the shark a lot and wish we’d see him now and then.

I see no particular need to rename the strip. But hey, it’s your comic.

More worm!

“Ike” is still good. or “Cat and Ike” just because it’s easier to say than “Ike and Cat”

BTW my folks voted for Ike, back in the day.
