Subject: If we only knew then... From: GUEST,Barney the Fifer Date: 03 Dec 02 - 09:13 AM Would we have realized that the old comic strip, Mutt & Jeff, was really about two gay guys? Eight year old Bart Simpson figured out Mutt and Jeff at first glance. How come we never realized it?

Subject: RE: If we only knew then... From: DougR Date: 03 Dec 02 - 01:55 PM Sounds a bit far fetched to me. Especially if Bart Simpson is the one that figured it out. DougR |

Subject: RE: If we only knew then... From: SharonA Date: 03 Dec 02 - 02:05 PM You're right to be suspicious of Bart Simpson's thought process, Doug. Both Mutt and Jeff were married men according to this page, where a reference is made to them "getting in hot water with their wives": http://ask.yahoo.com/ask/20000608.html For example, see this strip in which Mutt talks about faking an injury to fool his wife: http://www.lambiek.net/fisher_b.htm |

Subject: RE: BS: If we only knew then... From: Rapparee Date: 03 Dec 02 - 05:25 PM Me, I've always wondered about Buster Brown...and the Yellow Kid...and especially the Katzenjammer Kids. |

Subject: RE: BS: If we only knew then... From: Liz the Squeak Date: 03 Dec 02 - 06:54 PM I've always been a little worried about the relationship between Uncle Scrooge McDuck (unmarried) and the three nephews and a niece who appear to live with him in a bizarre Michael Jackson sort of way......

Subject: RE: BS: If we only knew then... From: Bill D Date: 03 Dec 02 - 09:42 PM well, it took YEARS to get L'il Abner Yokum married to that gorgeous Daisy Mae, so I just wonder...... |

Subject: RE: BS: If we only knew then... From: dick greenhaus Date: 03 Dec 02 - 09:45 PM Now with Batman and Robin, nobody had to wonder. |

Subject: RE: BS: If we only knew then... From: curmudgeon Date: 03 Dec 02 - 09:57 PM Augustus Mutt, best friend of Little Jeff who had a twin brother Julius, was married to Mrs. Mutt and had a son, Cicero, who had a cat, Cicero's Cat, who had its own comic strip. Ham Fisher based these two characters on the local Race Track regulars. Bart Simpson is no smarter than his father. |

Subject: RE: BS: If we only knew then... From: DougR Date: 03 Dec 02 - 11:47 PM Anybody ever told some of you folks your awfully cynical? Next thing you know, somebody is going to suggest that Smiling Jack, or Joe Palooka was gay. Geeze. DougR |

Subject: RE: BS: If we only knew then... From: Amos Date: 04 Dec 02 - 12:10 AM Well, Mister Pot-yells-at-the-Kettle, you have been awfully close to Bobert, ya know -- you two are kinda like our very own Mutt and Jeff, existentially speaking, and it just makes me wonder, is all.... A |

Subject: RE: BS: If we only knew then... From: Rick Fielding Date: 04 Dec 02 - 12:16 AM Who the Hell was SMILIN'JACK, Doug? Fer Gawd's sake can you keep this to the twentieth century!!!! Now ya wouldn't find none of them there preversions among TERRY and his PIRATES, but that STEVE CANYON had a hell of a build! |

Subject: RE: BS: If we only knew then... From: Mudlark Date: 04 Dec 02 - 02:52 AM Oh sure, you all are interested in gay hunks, but what about Brenda Starr, powerful ace reporter, never married, big on black orchids? Is this kinky, or what? And what a sap Rex Morgan MD's nurse was, probably harboring a hidden crush on Mrs. Worth... |

Subject: RE: BS: If we only knew then... From: Rapparee Date: 04 Dec 02 - 07:16 AM Tintin et le Captain, n'est pas? |

Subject: RE: BS: If we only knew then... From: DougR Date: 04 Dec 02 - 07:39 PM Rick: You know Terry and the Pirates but you don't know Smiling Jack (the ace pilot)! Obviously the newspapers in your outhouse when you were a wee lad didn't carry the stip! DougR |

Subject: RE: BS: If we only knew then... From: Amos Date: 04 Dec 02 - 07:56 PM Mille sabords de tonerre de Brest, Rapaire!! Le Tintin c'est dans la lune pur son chien, Milou!! Et cet Capitain, c'n'est qu'un vieux mackerel!! A |

Subject: RE: BS: If we only knew then... From: Liz the Squeak Date: 05 Dec 02 - 02:57 AM What about the pink cat from Top Cat... Cheech or Chooch or something..... Camp or what????? Row of Pink Tents. LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: If we only knew then... From: GUEST,noddy Date: 05 Dec 02 - 04:41 AM so where do we put Yogi and Bobo. Just because your maried does not mean you are not gay. |

Subject: RE: BS: If we only knew then... From: kendall Date: 05 Dec 02 - 05:39 AM So, what about Bert and Ernie? Snoopy and Woodstock? |

Subject: RE: BS: If we only knew then... From: Art Thieme Date: 08 Dec 02 - 01:22 AM Hell, this crap sickens me. You've all missed the boat on this one. There never were TWO guys. The strip was called MUTTON JEFF. It was about ONE guy and his sheep. He went on to compose the songs "ONLY EWE" and "I KNOOW I'LL NEVER FIND..." Art Thieme |

Subject: RE: BS: If we only knew then... From: GUEST,DW at work Date: 08 Dec 02 - 10:32 PM Gees, it's a slow night here or why else do I find this so goddam funny? In their defence, Bert and Ernie never shared a bed. Those two Brit guys, Morcambe and White? on the other hand did. Brit humour is weird at the best of times, but this one totally blew me out! Maybe that wasn't the best way of saying that, but what the heck! DW |

Subject: RE: BS: If we only knew then... From: GUEST,boabd Date: 09 Dec 02 - 05:04 AM well i can see the point about morcambe and Wise but the things that are quite noticable are the old police shows CHiPs now that was a couple or rectal renegades if ever i saw them and even bodie and doyle from the professionals were just as bad. |

Subject: RE: BS: If we only knew then... From: Liz the Squeak Date: 09 Dec 02 - 06:17 PM Ever notice that the male/female ratio on the Starship Enterprise was always more 80/20 towards the male? And if ever they DID meet another girl, she was never allowed anything with any of the REAL men.... LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: If we only knew then... From: SINSULL Date: 09 Dec 02 - 09:44 PM True, Liz. But I do remember an episode where Data was given an opportunity to prove that he was anatomically correct with the female security officer (can't remember her name...). He'd have been my choice too as long as the batteries held up. |

Subject: RE: BS: If we only knew then... From: Rapparee Date: 10 Dec 02 - 08:22 AM So, you want to know The Truth about Bert and Ernie, eh? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: If we only knew then... From: Bert Date: 10 Dec 02 - 01:20 PM Kendall, You leave me out of this, It's not true, NONE of it is true. |

Subject: RE: BS: If we only knew then... From: Liz the Squeak Date: 10 Dec 02 - 02:11 PM Tasha Yar.... he kept a hologram of her on his desk. I remember she looked VERY satisfied. I suspect he's powered by something a bit more robust than a couple of AAs..... LTS |
