Yes, that feels a little strange. It says “1970” on the side of the strip and it’s clearly from the past. Why not just say David Cassidy or Bobby Sherman or whoever it was in the original? The younger people who didn’t know who that was could just Google it if they were curious.
Why are they running it again, they just ran it last week, with complaints. If they were going to rerun it, I would at least think that they would have put the original script back. What? You decided to piss people off twice with the same comic?
Marty son-in-law here! Ugggggh! THIS WAS AN UPLOAD ERROR! Ugggh! And the worst one! I’ll talk to Gocomics so this doesn’t happen again. SORRY! We’re just getting used to the scanning upload deal with GoComics. Please accept my apologies. Frustrations!
I kind of like the contrast. The heart throb of the moment may change, the technology may change, but the experience of being a teenage girl doesn’t. I like the idea of the original next to the updated caption.
Hi Piksea! Thanx…I needed that. OMG—I couldn’t believe they ran that same one! Thanx! I see they got my email and ran the one for today. Relief. Thanx everyone for understanding!!

It’s too bad that these get updated with more topical references. I enjoyed the strip when it was current and appreciate the memories.

Those who appreciate this strip don’t even know who Justin Beaver is. So, why changing the original?

I concur with the other commentators.

I disagree. The younger people don’t even read these comics.

The original was Paul Newman, and this is a rerun.

Here we go with the Justin Bieber thing agai!. Didn’t we have this argument last week? IN 1970 she really said Jim Morrison!

Tsk, Emmy Lou, you are old enough to be Justin Bieber’s mom! Actually, I think you’re old enough to be his grandma. Even if you never age!!!!

She COULD have had a crush on Justin Bieber. Of course, it would have been Justin’s grandfather, who was also named Justin. That works.

No need to apologize emmyloufan1….things happen! We all love Emmy Lou!

And now the strip has changed to the correct one and all of the above comments make no sense!
rimpo over 11 years ago
Now this is what brings me back to Emmy Lou! Love it…
Cartoonacy over 11 years ago
Quick — change “other boys” to “Justin Bieber” so all of the comments will make sense again! (Just kidding…)

I showed my daughter Emmy Lou..now she wants an Emmy Lou doll…. emmyloufan1—any chance at that sometime in the future?
CougarAllen over 11 years ago
Now that the right comic is here … who is that with the broom? Does Emmy Lou’s family have a maid? Is that her mother?

Ok people!! Younger people do read this comic. Younger people who don’t like Justin Beiber and who like this comic.

@CougarAllen
That’s Emmy Lou’s mom. the angle makes her look different from the way she looks in other poses.
CougarAllen over 11 years ago
Okay, I’ll buy that. I just looked at some other pix of her mom and I can see it is the same person.
