Not really sure where to put this, but I though everyone here could appreciate it: (esp. Mudpup, cartoon philosopher that he is).  This just sounded SOOOOO much like my exN I had to share!

If you have seen the comic strip "Non Sequitur" you will know the characters, but I will do my best (play form):

Lucy (a talking horse): .....so as a preconceptulal scientist, you reach a conclusion to a theory FIRST, then just ignore all evidence that proves you're wrong?

Danae(her human friend, a pre-pubescent, very precocious girl):
Yep

Lucy: So you believe you're ALWAYS right?

Danae: Well, since we don't hear anything to prove us wrong, logic dictates we MUST be right!

Lucy: Yeah....but....just because you won't listen doesn't mean.....

Danae (interrupting, fingers in ears, musically) la-la-la-la-la.....

Lucy: I give up....

Danae: See how easy it is?

mum,

Thats pretty N allright.
Sounds like a Calvin and Hobbes routine. Now that guy was an N! Of course he was six so I guess he had an excuse.

PS. I'll let you in on a little comic book secret that I think I have only told my wife and Stormy, when I mentioned to her how backwards my reading habits were as a boy.
Despite my previous statements that I find bad girls boring and dreary, as a wee lad I had a real crush on Veronica from the Archies comic books. Now that bad girl really filled out a sweater. Much better than that goody-two-shoes Betty. :wink:  :roll:
In fact, I sneaked a peek in a checkout line the other day at an Archies comic book. She hasn't aged a bit.  :shock: Fortunately my wife was looking the other way or she might have noticed the gleam in my eye. :twisted:

Mudpup, you are really funny!
But which character do you associate yourself with most? Jughead?

OK, now you sound like my wife. :P  :lol:  :roll:
In fact that's darn near the exact same thing she said.
And it just so happens I always did want a Jughead hat. :?

Y'all seen Frazz? I keep thinking it's what happened to Calvin when he grew up. All that creativity had to go somewhere.  8)  8)  8)

Stormy: Enlighten me! what's Frazz???? Is it something my kids would say "mom, you are soooo clueless!" about?

OOOOO, it's a cartoon!

Frazz is the fellow with the unruly hair. Elementary school janitor-cum-Mr. Fixit who buys Roald Dahl and Edward Gorey kid's books to donate to the school library with the money he makes as a musician/songwriter.

Very like how I hope Calvin grew up, out there in comicland.

I always figured he ended up in a prison for the criminally insane.
Or maybe a trial attorney. Wait a minute thats the same thing isn't it?
