On the one side I'd like paper bags but the experience of baby cockroaches living inside them I'm still in favor of plastic. Andy Haven't had a roach as long as I've been in PA! Got bats!

But it's a classic strip; as the complete Peanuts collection books get released, I buy them. (I've also got the complete collection of The Far Side and Calvin & Hobbes.) Bob |

Blake, the cartoons are about the only things I look at in the New Yorker! Fortunately, I can look at it in the library and not buy it. >zippy is more a smile than a laugh. at the very least, it's >well-drawn. An amazingly large fraction of the comic strips in the Washington Post seem to be drawn by people with negligible artistic ability. -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |

It was one of those rare occasions when i actually thought to say something witty. With my best hand to cheek Jack Benny gesture, i did notice a few chuckles from the black guys, all very "on the down low" im sure, but never the less.... > > your pal, > blake -- -- Mr. Joseph Littleshoes Esq.
