Transient Thoughts

Wednesday, August 02, 2006

Though the Times of India is a bad paper overall, its comics setion beats the comics sections of most papers. Beau Peep, Calvin and Hobbes, Between Friends, Wizard of Id, Garfield, Animal Crackers, Peanuts have all been my favourites some time or the other. Dennis the Menace is fairly ok. Only Archies is down right bad.

Anyway that was one paragraph of useless information.

What I wanted to post was this Peanuts Joke I read in Yesterday's paper.

Frame 1: Snoopy is sitting on top of his dog-house typing away on his cute little typewriter in his inimitable style: "It was a dark and stormy night"

Frame 2: The dark haired little girl (I know the names of only three peanuts characters: Snoopy, Charlie Brown and Woodchuck the birdling, wish I knew the names of the rest) takes a look at Snoopy's literary effort and says in her own inimatable style, a look of likeable scepticism on her face, "How can you be so sure?"

Frame 3: Snoopy corrects his opening line "If I remember correctly, it was a dark and stormy night".

Ha ha. How terribly cool!

The only reason why we still get TOI at home is the comics section! And yes, Archies is horrible, but the saving grace is that C&H is the last one you read before you leave the page
