I remember before I could read, Daddy would make a big deal - every Sunday morning - out of the funny paper. He had a broadcaster's voice and he would read his favorites out load to me with gusto. He'd save his very favorite until last - Dagwood and Blondie just cracked him up and he'd polish off the week's rendition with their latest adventure.
When I learned to read, for years, it was the only part of the Sunday paper I ever touched.
And then I fell out of love with the funny paper. I never got into comics. When I found a New Yorker magazine, I would (and still do) thumb through looking for the cartoons but that was about it for me and funnies.
Until the cheezburger. I have a special LJ Friends page for Icanhascheesurger (http://syndicated.livejournal.com/hascheezburger/) and it's sister site Ihashotdog (http://syndicated.livejournal.com/i_has_a_hot_dog/) and just clicking on the page makes me smile. And most days I laugh out loud several times. These guys just get right to my funny bone and shake it around. Brilliant. I love that they are both Seattle products.
