When my kids were little, I was enamored of the comic strip “Baby Blues“, convinced they must be watching us, or at least living very similar lives. I even had to get a signed copy of their first book, I liked them so much. I haven’t had a chance to get a signed copy of any of the Get Fuzzy books, although I do have several of the comic collections. But this one made me feel like they’re watching us again, or at least, watching Darwin. This is definitely how he thinks!

Nice to find another avid comics reader. I enjoyed Baby Blues too, and one of my favorites was For Better or For Worse, which I’ve read religiously for thirty years…when we first moved to Hawaii, our local paper didn’t carry either one, so I missed a few years until I finally moved into the online world and realized I could read them all there; now we get FBOFW in our paper, and Baby Blues on Sundays at least. People always made fun of me but I have always appreciated the clever notes on daily life we all experience pointed out and made fun of. Makes it all a little easier, starting out the day with a smile.
I read FBOFW for a long time, too – have several of the books. My favorite comics of the moment are Lio, Get Fuzzy, Over the Hedge, and Ozy and Millie, all links on the sidebar.
They make me laugh….
