    Good thing the kid’s name isn’t Freddy.

    Second opinion. It’s anything but the mainspring.

    The key to this one-note-trick of a strip was to have massive amounts of small objects to be blown about. Must have been a pain in the butt to draw and really, after you’ve seen the first strip the joke is done. Can’t imagine it having a long life. It would be like a contestant on America’s Got Talent whose act was committing suicide. Not likely to get past round one.

    What kills me is that his sneezes in themselves aren’t that humongous. Why they’re so powerful is beyond me.

    @ gcruse: Actually that gag was done WAY before America’s Got Talent. Daffy Duck did it in 1957 in Show Biz Bugs. (Sorry about the poor source quality. that was the only clip I could find.)

    Is Winsor McCay the same man who is credited with drawing the first animated cartoon featuring Gertie the dinosaur?

    I learned my early Englsh reading the Katzenjammer Kids…even before I started school.
