Dont give credit to the artist….I lived with one for 14 years (Denis Lebrun) and it took him in reality maybe 30 mins to do everything..He had it all set up on his computer to copy and paste the whole strip together….He put that together when i was about 9 yrs old, so in reality its been a long time since he had drawn with an ink pen. He was a fake out. He didnt draw for that strip for 40 yrs he drew for only 23 yrs…..And the only reason he isnt on the strip is because back in 2005 after my mom left his crazy butt, he decided that since he didnt have her to go off on he turned to dean young and got himself fired…….

This forum is started to sound like a lot of sour grapes…not much humour going on here…just one positive comment..please just one??? :-) I know that will seem impossible for some here as, though supposedly successful cartoonists in their own right, are behaving like jealous schoolgirls….Blonides 80! At least offer her some cake or something….not a bunch of steaming…

You left out Milt Caniff, Al Capp and E.C. Segar, comic and artistic geniuses all… There’s no way of knowing but I think the odds are good that those three (and also Schulz, Kelly and Herriman) would’ve agreed with me and Milt and Al Capp were President and Guest Speaker in 1949 when they awarded Chic Young with the “Cartoonist of the Year”.

Genius, in the arts, is ONLY a matter of opinion, whether you are talking about Van Gogh or Rembrandt, John. Unless it’s just a popularity contest. What, you’ve got a better opinion only it’s NOT an opinion?

“Now, 80 years later, Blondie is STILL genius,”

Wow. There is so much wrong with just this one little sentence fragment that I don’t know where to start. I’m gobsmacked.
Genius is Walt Kelly. Genius is Bill Watterson, George Herriman,
Charles Schulz. Blondie was NEVER a work of genius no matter WHO was drawing it.
Genius is not a matter of opinion.
