What makes a company truly great

Newspaper of record. Best, and most original, reporting.

One of only two excellent papers left in America (and I rarely read the other one).

Where should I look to for conversation starters?

 

Conversation starters? Is that what we're calling them?

 

Sure. In this instance at least.

The Times regularly writes about interesting topics, worthy of further consideration and discussion.

I guess I could look to the Podunk Press and see what's going on in Hints from Heloise, Dear Abby, or Hagar the Horrible.

 

You don't have to stick with newspapers to find topics worthy of discussion.

 

I heard an awesome debate on the local sports radio program the other day...

 

Yep, that's what I meant.

 

The guy at Comics Curmudgeon has an interesting take on Hagar the Horrible. You know how Hagar bounces around erratically from fighting with his wife to storming the countryside to being marooned on various desert islands, without care of a time element? His theory is that Hagar and his sidekick Lucky Eddie are on a desert island now, and all the strips that show pillaging and forced yearly bath taking are actually disjointed flashbacks as Hagar and friend gradually lose their minds as they remain stranded. How do they stay alive after (presumably) all this time? Well, you'll notice that Hagar has a full crew when he sails the seven seas and runs riot on various English and French castles. And that the desert island strips only show Hagar and Lucky Eddie. You do the math.

 

Will they be the first major characters in a children's-oriented comic strip to come out?

 

I've always thought Blondie was quite the MILF. I think she's packing 38DDs.
Dagwood is a lucky man. Only way I figure he can pull and keep that kind of tail, is he probably attacks her cooch like it's a ham sandwich.

 

Blondie is, um, auditioning to be Mr. Dithers' trophy wife.

 

Mr. Dithers' company is a truly great company.

 

He's a primo job creator.
