It's always just-me, but do the first 2 "flick"s in "Wizard of Id" toon look like the F-bomb?!1

In skimming through, as I do most all reading, plus aging eyes, I had to do a double take on what I thought I was seeing. Just me?!1

1. haha. that's great

at the size it is on my screen and at first glance, YES. Even after studying it closely, the first really does look like F*CK.

3. I knew Johnny HART died, but so did PARKER, & Wiki says

Gee, I knew HART had become a Fundie, but had no idea he went to the extreme quoted from Wiki below. Since the toonists are credited as "PARKER AND HART" I have no idea who is drawing them now, but have noticed a more Lib orientation after whoever took over.

(from the Wiki article on HART)

Hart's increasingly deep religious faith, and the staunch political conservatism that accompanied it, came to be the source of considerable controversy in the later years of his life. In a 1999 interview with The Washington Post, for example, he stated that "Jews and Muslims who don't accept Jesus will burn in Hell" and that "homosexuality is the handiwork of Satan."[6] In the same piece, Hart opined that "the end of the world is approaching, maybe by the year 2010."

2. That was the joke about the movie "Election"

The annoying girl running for Student Councel President (played wonderfully by a young Reese Witherspoon) was named Tracy Flick.

But you'd see signs with VOTE FLICK and well it seemed to have another meanting!

4. I thought that too.

5. Remember that the drawings in today's comics are done

in much larger scale than what is printed ... and the comics' sizes are drastically reduced. Hell, their sizes are drastically reduced from 20 years ago. (and it's not because I'm starting to see I'll need bifocals before too long!)
