Angels

Cidu Bill on Jan 3rd 2012

Okay, wait, maybe I sort of kind of get part of this: are they actually peeing in the snow? And Green Lantern’s is green for some reason, but the other guys’ are… white??

No, the more I think I get it, the more confused I am.

Superchronicity

Cidu Bill on Jun 23rd 2010

These were back-to-back on my Chronicle page this past Friday. The second one (Speed Bump) is a definite CIDU, though: “Superman flavor”??

I have shirts older than David Willis

Cidu Bill on May 17th 2010

I was reminded of just how old I am when I met Shortpacked’s David Willis at the Wild Pig Comic Con in Springfield, NJ Saturday afternoon. My wife came along for a single reason: to tell David she’s a great fan of the Batman gags he writes into his strip. He drew her this

which she’s going to hang on the wall in her cubicle at work. And then, since gardening takes up most of her free time in spring and summer, she of course had to buy this

Identity Crisis

Cidu Bill on Jul 22nd 2009

And just for the record, it’s Smokey the Bear, regardless of how many times the Forest Service insists it’s Smokey Bear and always has been.

Hmmm… That can’t be the punchline here, can it? The fact that both Smokey and Batman sometimes use the “the” and sometimes don’t??

Super Synchronicity

Cidu Bill on Apr 17th 2009

These two were side-by-side on my Houston Chronicle comics page Thursday. The Speed Bump

is a CIDU, while the Argyle Sweater

is a LOL.

And if that wasn’t enough spandex for one day…

Has anybody actually heard the Captain America cartoon theme since 1968 or so? The Spider-Man theme has found a permanent place in the popular consciousness, but I don’t believe anybody under the age of 45 will be familiar with Cap’s. Normally this would get the Look Geezers! Comics! tag, but Marvel Comics is promoting the hell out of Captain America’s 70th anniversary this week, so I’m inclined to grant it special dispensation as a tribute strip.
