Given the history of this feature over the past century (and the context of how its characters age and sometimes die), this was a most disquieting strip to read this morning.
I like this strip. I do; I read it every day. But it’s difficult not to acknowledge that “Video Village” and “Boom or Bust” references aside, this has been a very disappointing storyline. There was very little to it, and regardless of the menace of the fake “Time Bomb” bomb, not much suspense. This felt very mechanical and uninspired. I remain a reader, and even a faithful one, but the strip hasn’t been involving for a while.
This was a superb, funny and heartfelt tribute to Schulz, completely in keeping with the abundant spirit of JumpStart.. Also, it’s always great to see Franklin!
This is a mystery. Is he calling for a bigger pair of boots?
