Better and Better
The longer the strip runs, the better it gets. It's like "Archie" in a modern context. It makes me laugh almost every update. Keep it up.

Between Dave's seemingly endless supply of jokes, gags and embarrassing situations and Giz's drawing (figuratively and literally) from Dan De Carlo inspiration, this is "Archie" in a modern context.Lee A. wrote:The longer the strip runs, the better it gets. It's like "Archie" in a modern context.
Now if Dave and Giz can work in the joke from this Millie the Model cover...

Re: Better and Better [Plug for a great comic strip]
For a strip that is Archie in an even MORE modern/hip context, see Jaime Hernandez' "Locas" stories in "Love and Rockets." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_and_Rockets_(comics) Hernandez cites DeCarlo as a leading influence on his style (along with Hank Ketcham of "Dennis the Menace").
My icon shows Terry Downe, the villainess of the strip. She's a sort of punk lesbian version of Veronica, the snotty beauty who lives to make others suffer. Like Dave & Giz, Jaime often puts non-heterosexual characters in his stories. They certainly add to the confusion, drama, and hilarity.

Re: Better and Better
It's smooth and mild, and refreshingly addictive.
