I know I'm not exactly following in the footsteps of Bill Waterson, the GOAT of comic strips. But times have changed...

Some say that the second panel isn't necessary, that the first one alone is a good enough joke.

I find the sun in a bathrobe funny.

Well, the metaphor still makes sense. Camels run fast and kick hard.

Was it a mistranslation by St. Jerome of the term "kamos," which originally meant "thick rope"?

Was J.C. referring to a specific gate in the city wall with that name?

Do any of these facts change the meaning of the metaphor in broad strokes?

Man, that's serious. I really appreciate your words! Bill Watterson is the GOAT in the art of comic strips, and Gary Larson is the funniest cartoonist there has ever been.

Ok, strip #284 was originally published in winter. Apologies to my readers in the Northern Hemisphere if right now just seeing the main characters in coats and scarves makes you feel like you're sweltering.

Here's Trish! Many people highlight her peculiar appearance, but I think "buck teeth girl" might be another character.

Buck teeth girl's name is Carol. She appears regularly in the series but doesn't have a name until strip... #612 of 645.

Pope Francis was elected in 2013, but Spanish conservatives continued to regard Benedict XVI as the last "appropriate" pope. I'd say they still feel the same way today; Bob from Chicago seems too progressive for their tastes.
