Ooh – now I remember why I thought Richard was the funniest comic ever. Ed Nuage (Nuage means “Cloud” in French) reminded me of the weird noises Petey’s oboe would make.
I held off looking at the comments on Doonesbury till now, because I kept forgetting to (am getting kind of old myself, but didn’t 100% forget). The comments are about what I expected. I did notice at least one commenter who is holding up the standards of good ol’ Li’l Guard Duck or whoever, but doesn’t come across as an automaton.
Hi, PaintThe! I was reading through all the above to be sure no one else had mentioned Frank & Ernest. I was going to point this out to Pastis’ commenters, but you beat me to it. Magnificent pun, what?
A hearty call-out to Wiley for this Sunday’s Primo Comic strip, IMHO! Had to come hobbling back to tell you ♥.
