I made it a point to read the newspaper comics every day, and I kind of miss that. I would read every comic except maybe Mary Worth. (Seriously - a comic soap opera? Nope.). Zippy angered me because it offered no redeeming feature at all, but the drawing style would make me glance at it every day before immediately rejecting it.

I read every single one. I'm actually angry there is a part of my brain being taken up by remembering the general storyline of Brenda Starr, Reporter.
Like, I know about Basil's amnesia. Why do I know that? Why do I know Brenda's daughter was named Starr Twinkle St. John
