Adam@Home by Rob Harrell for March 29, 2009
Transcript:
Clayton: Can you help me get better at basketball? Adam: Of course. The key to basketball is the ball. Clayton: Got it. Adam: But we can't forget about the basket. Clayton: Okay. Adam: And, of course, there's the combining of the words 'basket' and 'ball' to form the word 'basketball'. Clayton: Right. Adam: Okay. Any questions so far? Clayton: Do you actually know anything useful about basketball? Adam: Did I mention the importance of the ball?

Nutcase. Adam is turning into Calvin’s dad, only less funny.

Great call, Attyash.
Definitely not as funny as Calvin, but light years away from that week long (though it felt like a month) series on beer songs.

Now this is funny. Basset does the Sundays and the other dude does the weekdays, It is sooooo obvious. I’m only gonna read Adam on Sunday from now on.
Brian! Do the weekdays too! We need more humor like today’s!

Harrell does the art. Period. Brian Basset does the writing. Period.

I take it Adam has never played basketball in his life!
maybeinthenestworld, if you were such a fan you would have known all this weeks ago! This site was almost as busy as SOTU!

It’s time to get over the changes in Adam. You either embrace what is put in front of you or move on to other things. Bemoaning the change only annoys others.

Maybeinthenextworld: You’re an instigator, why have you “favorited” Adam so much if you don’t like it ?
Banjo Evans over 15 years ago
rudivari – you are a troll. A first-time posting troll. we know you ARE one person who just re-registers under different names. Get a life!

Adam@home seems to have changed slightly and in subtle ways, as if these are reruns of earlier (and younger) Adam. Who knows?! Maybe it’s just me.
rabbitwarren over 15 years ago
I think you’re right Jeff. These are reruns from when Mr. Basset actually cared about the strip … which means it must have been sometime during the second term of Ronald Reagan.
maybeinthenextworld over 15 years ago
Information, I’m “favorite”-ing the strip ironically.
I admit it’s a subtle play, but I’m sending a non-violent message to the cartoonist that comic strips can only be done by their original creators.
BTW, I laughed long and hard today at Beetle Bailey, Blondie, Hi & Lois, Frank & Ernest, BC, Wizard of Id, Dennis the Menace, Shoe, Nancy and Funky Winkerbean.

Well I am admittedly new to this post, but I do notice that posters do talk about a change in the strip, changes that I had posted that I’d noticed earlier. So what exactly is it that has changed? Is it the author or are these old reruns or something else? Thanks for the information.

jeffvirant, since you seem to be new and not a troller, Brain Bassett turned the strip over to Ron Harrell who did the Big Top, also seen on this site, so that he could concentrate on his other strip “Red & Rover”. For a few weeks Brian still did the Sunday strip but now everything is in Mr. Harells hands, who I think is doing a fine job!
And if you have never checked out Red & Rover, you should. It’s a CHARMING strip!
