The Big Picture by Lennie Peterson for August 04, 2022

You have fans! And, they have intelligence, so there Mr. Editor.

You DO have fans! All these comments every day PROVE it!

Yeah, trust us, we are laughing with you…

“The saddest day of your life isn’t when you decide to sell out. The saddest day of your life is when you decide to sell out and nobody wants to buy.”

But is the second panel an actual quote?

If you’re fishing for compliments, you’ve succeeded. We like you just the way you are Lennie.

Of course he has fans! Window fans, floor fans, hand fans… ☺

Perhaps the editor should have said, “Never overestimate the intelligence of the public”…

Ardent, unwavering fans.

Pay no mind to the man behind the curtain. I have no census on your fans, but it’s a cinch that there are plenty of them. The strip is endearingly vulnerable. And it has a cat.

Hey Suit – Lennie has way more fans than you!

Mencken paraphrase, I believe.

Lennie even has some fans that don’t comment often but read this strip every day.

The link ‘About ’The Big Picture’’ strip shows over 12,000 followers.

I’m still laughing over the reference you made about your 6½ AL a few years ago. XD
