1. almost 14 years ago on Dick Tracy

   “Don’t they normally name a building after someone, when they have died???” Curtis and Staton come from comic books and there is a long tradition in comic books of naming buildings or streets in honor of past creators on the feature. Metropolis has had numerous buildings named after Jerry Siegal and Joe Shuster, Wayne Boring and others, and Gotham has all manner of Kane, Finger, Robinson, Adams, O’Neil and even Breyfogle buildings and streets.

   I have been a fan of Joe Staton’s artwork for years. I think the first time I saw it was the very first Green Lantern story he drew way back in 1977. In my opinion, this is the best work of his career, and maybe the best that this strip has ever looked.

   actually this doesn’t seem to be a reference to the PBS show, which didn’t have “The” in the title, but rather something specific to University of Texas. You probably have to have been a student there at the time this strip was drawn in order to really get the joke

   Some days I feel like the best thing I could do to leave the world a better place would be to just stay in bed.

   I work at Wendy’s and, actually, people ordering burgers without a bun isn’t that unusual. There’s even a key for it on the register. What’s really noteworthy about this strip is that Breathed later redrew it as a Bloom County Sunday page.
