Apparently, Beetle Bailey is not the only oldoldoldold school comic strip which has featured some questionable violence lately. Apparently Nancy is guilty of an act of “domestic violence” against Sluggo. This blogger has questions, but apparently misses the first, which is “Is somebody still doing a Nancy and Sluggo comic strip?”

And I may have an explanation for all the modern-day references in “B.C.” It came from a strip where one of the characters is reading about “Basketball Legend Shaq Oneal” (which leads to a bad pun about leg-ends). Normally, sports “legends” are not really labelled such until after their careers have ended, which made me think: Maybe these characters exist not in the past, but in the future… a Post-Apocalyptic future where the world has been bombed into the stone age, and, keeping with Johnny Hart’s sometimes confusing Christian beliefs, these cave-folk are actually the people Left Behind from the Rapture! I think that interpretation would help explain a lot of Hart’s weirder strips…

I’m assuming everybody reading this has at least heard of the “social bookmarking” site del.icio.us, even if, like me, you’re still not sure what “social bookmarking” is, but suspect its something you don’t want Carl Monday, Cleveland’s Investigative Reporter, catching you doing (link contains sexual content  shown on a TV news show and general idiocy by everyone involved). But I digress.

Since the founders of del.icio.us have the rights to the base domain “icio.us” and any sub-domains they may want to put in front of that with a “.”, they should be doing a sister site using links that are maybe not as popular, but good for you, and call it nutr.icio.us.

My consulting fees are quite reasonable. Thank you.
