Me? I'm not going there just now, even if my mind wasn't bound up with other concerns of late.
Instead, let's reach back to the old web comic once again and pull up some holiday greetings from several years back to kick off our special occasion Sunday Morning Funnies -
Obviously, we like things odd around here.
When it comes to doing Easter Odd, one man has established himself as the Master in the middle of the previous century - Walt Kelly, the brilliant weirdo behind Pogo. Dell published an Easter special in their Four Color title every year from 1946 to 1949, all created by Walt Kelly.
And, sure - They seemed normal enough on the outside...
...but inside?
It got strange...
No, there is not a missing next page - that's it. Though it was scarcely alone...
Just when you think you've got a handle on it, Walt jerks the wheel and it's off careening in new direction. Suddenly there'd be a visual puzzle...
...and mixed in with the nursery rhyme style shorts were some longer tales in a more traditional comic book style -
If you can find someone who does Easter more oddly, i'd love to hear about it.
Meanwhile, we opened up with a completely unrelated Easter greeting. It seems fitting to me that we wrap this piece the same way -
Enjoy your holiday!
