I think you're taking heat a little bit unfairly. This is, after all, the MILDLY infuriating community, and it can be a hassle when something stops working for you, even if it's perfectly reasonable for it to happen.

There was another howler, like
Ah, that wonderful Madam Mina! She has man’s brain—a brain that a man should have were he much gifted—and a woman’s heart.
These fucking people... I think they're meant to be "the good guys" but it's really hard to see them that way.
Uh oh looks like private Fabius is about to get chewed out.
Yeah, I was thinking it looked a lot like Euro Graphic Novel style, and from the artist's wikipedia page it looks like indeed that's what he worked on.
No way, that's the guy who said the industrial revolution and its consequences are a disaster for humans.

Thanks for posting the "Jon" strips! it'd be funny if the syndication deal had fallen thru, and the very last thing Jon had said was "I'LL make you bleed!" and then it ended without explanation.
Fascinating info. Point of order tho: Jim Davis sez "dogs like Snoopy and Marmaduke have been standard characters on comic pages, but there has never been a cat". Akshully wikipedia sez Krazy Kat comic strip started syndication in 1913, Felix the Cat in 1923, and Heathcliff in 1973. And ofc Top Cat had a comic book in the 60s and 70s beyond the 30-ep animation, but I dunno if it was ever a syndicated strip. (I prefer Garf tho!?!!)

They listen to electronic computer music that has weird anime like singing

Funny thing, I'm an older guy too, and a while back in the grocery store I saw some kid (late teens, maybe early 20s) wearing all black and a Depeche Mode t-shirt from the early days. I was gonna give them a thumbs up or something but then I realized they'd be like: omg I was wearing this shirt and this creepy old Latino guy was checking me out, I'm never gonna listen to this music again! So I just went on shopping.
(yeah I know DM isn't really goth but you get the idea...)
Interesting... anyway I'm not hating on Jim Davis, and he's probably right that at that time there were no "big name" cat cartoon characters. (I think Heathcliff was kinda small time...)
