And right he is! Nothing worse than hacking out a spleen to keep ahead of someone only to find out that they are riding electric and hardly sweating,
Should have been a pump, though.

I remember when I was young enough to think comic strips were funny.

I must still be young enough to appreciate the hilarity of those strips. That stuff is gold. Thanks for posting the links!

Calvin and Hobbes will forever be incredible.
This strip, where almost all the cells are the same drawing? Meh.
This stuff is on par with The Lockhorns, Family Circus, and BC.

Fun Fact: Jef the Cyclist represents a bit of friendly ribbing at Jef Mallett of "Frazz" fame. Jef is an avid cyclist and triathlete.

I’ve never worked in that type of office environment, but I’ve definitely seen enough office politics and management to get the humor.

The elitist cyclist is a frequent visitor in Pearls Before Swine. I've been reading them on/off for about 20 years - Pastis went to Amherst college so the comic was very prevalent in local newspapers.

as noted for those that haven't read Galvin and Hobbes, it is a must Dad is a cyclist and Calvin is convinced his bike is out to do him in

It’s a better day, if you just read the comics, and delete the rest. Pearls Before Swine is one of the best, thankfully at my advanced age, I still have my sense of humour.
