"klondike Ike" By Vic VanStreck. where would he be without me? Today's "Klondike Ike" Is unrealistic , don't you agree? Im keep a running count on line. Are you serious Pop? All comic strips are unrealistic! You're actually "Ranking" every strip this guys draws? -and keep a year- ling tally? for what? Joes right. Nobody cares. Honey! Is my strip unrealistic today? Be honest!
[Year long tally: 28 Nonsensical : 219 Realistic] Thank you Robb for today’s realistic and funny comic!! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++I hemmed-and-hawed about how to evaluate this strip for a long time. I mean, who realistically, would behave like Joe and say all comic strips are unrealistic?!? But, in the end I gave today’s effort the “realistic” stamp. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Truth be told, I am very flattered that my efforts here have been mentioned twice now. I think and believe that Robb knows my tally is designed to show the sincere appreciation I have for his comic writing and drawing talents. I have always appreciated the real humor he is able to find in the day-to-day. And, as we draw near to Fall, I can see that the number of nonsensical strips (aka items like when Snoog-A-Boo stole a painting or some such thing) this year is quite low, hovering a few points above 10%. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++So, once again, Robb…. thank you for your tremendous comic talents! And, I thank you for having such a good character as Joe’s Dad occasionally adopt a persona that in a way models my efforts here.
