I’ll try and get back to Charles Taylor and the contemporary church tomorrow.  Today I’d like to past a weekday comic strip or two that I’ve saved for later but not gotten around to posting.

Something interesting is going on in the classic Peanuts strip.  Turns out the school the kids attend, and that Sally sometimes talks to, has given up . . .

And the immediate consequence for the kids?

Leaves you wondering what, if anything, Schulz was trying to communicate.

Frazz has been great during this “new year” season.  This recent strip has some great dialogue and a resounding sentiment . . .

“January is where self-improvement goes to die” is just a great line.

Finally, a classic Calvin and Hobbes.  Watterson did such an amazing job rendering a great moment.  His use of shadow is amazing.  This one-panel black-and-white strip ranks up there with the best of the Sunday strips in so many ways.

Some days I’m a little sad that the classic Calvin and Hobbes strips aren’t retooled or colored.  But strips like this exceed expectations by remaining in black and white.
