11. Yeah, I was torn between Charlie and Snoopy ...
but I went with Charlie because he's more like me. (Forever the square, no matter how hard I try. But that's OK.)

13. If you look at Clutch onlyfrom the bridge of nose up he looks like Dukakis
Man, those live-action lips on a perfectly still cartoon face always creeped me out. Plus I think Clutch was a racist.

10. Pogo........
that was one of the best strips ever. I wish Walt Kelly were alive today, his commentary would be much appreciated. I imagine he's spinning in his grave though. I don't think he would have liked junior too much.

He seriously rocked my world. Funny, a little awkward, deadly sexy, always got the girls, and he did it all in a wheel chair.

The Captain of the Enterpoop will always be my captain.

51. She used to be my favorite, but ...
I recently heard about how Max Fleischer modeled it after Helen Kane who got nothing out of the image's success. It just didn't seem fair.

Betty Boop

Helen Kane

55. that never made any sense
Venus is nothing but a dull cloudy blob. With earth you have some clear skies and can see continents and oceans and ice caps and maybe even the Great Wall of China or NYC at night. So blowing up the earth to look at boring old Venus just never made any sense from an astronomical point of view.

Pitiful Earthlings. Why do you think they keep Venus covered in clouds?
