Thanks, Bob. My, JJ was pretty, wasn’t she?

I wonder why Honey’s first appearance missed the cut? For one thing, it was funnier than this one. For another thing, wouldn’t it seem to be a no-brainer to include the first appearance of all the major characters over the decades?

@GodfreydanielThe reruns have not included the first appearances of all the characters. They did not show the first appearance of Boopsie or Duke but reran strips that showed the nature of their characters and their relationships to other characters.

@Blackwolff9Here is Duke’ actual first appearance in 1974.Here is how they reintroduced him this year.

Could get the message to reply, but wanted to say Thank You! for showing us Honey’s first appearance! :-)

er, could NOT get the message to reply…duh..

@FinnyGirlHappy to do it (the reply option doesn’t work on mobile devices).

I always loved Honey’s translations. They always made me re-read the strip to get that extra laugh or giggle.
