He must not know that General Abrams is no longer living.

Not the one you’re thinking of, no, but Abrams was notable in that all of his children either became Army generals or married Army generals. His namesake eldest son is a retired brigadier general who’s the executive director of the Army Historical Foundation which is in charge of all of this.

That’s what they must mean by a topic of general discussion.

Is it just me, or does Skeezix bear a slight resemblence to Slim in the third panel?

There’s a little Slim in all of us.

That’s the good thing about being a General, you can get impossible things done. Especially when you’re a General with a pedigree like Creighton Abrams. Just goes to show you that Royalty still exists in America’s classless society. You’d like another example? Try George Patton, Jr. Or a more well known one, Big John McCain. Ah, and lets not forget General Douglas “I shall return” MacArthur.

That’s right. For those of us who love to eat lol!

I’m worried about Nina. She looks a little drawn.

On the other hand, she also looks like Lulu: http://tinyurl.com/an5f2b

Awwww to Dypak…..the common denominator….All are service academy graduates, West Point and the Naval Academy and that sir is from where the pedigree comes.

No school today, Dypak?– snowed out?

when he gets the uniform…let’s give this story line the marching orders!

I disagree, Joe. I like to see all the different opinions. I don’t like incivility and pointless repetition of a point, but I think reviewing the work is valid use of the site.

the purpose of the museum is a good one it , but did we have to drag out the ill fitting uniform line rather than learn more about the museum

Volume 4 of Walt and Skeezix, 1927-1928 will be available after June 8, 2010.

Nina reminded me of the fabulous Lulu, for some reason. Sing it, Lulu! http://tinyurl.com/ygkkt5u

You guys kidding? The Gen. Abrams that everyone knows from VN died in the mid-70’s. This is just silly.

O

Yes!!! Let the comments be a little different. Storyline is enough, but the comments can be off subject to make it a little more interesting to come to each day. Oh…how I wait for Sunday’s strip.

General Creighton Abrams is long gone. I went to high school with his son [also Creighton Abrams, also a General].
