A friend of mine cut these out for me, I thought a few others would enjoy them too.
Who does this remind you of??

i used to LOVE one big happy, i dont remember ANY vacuum strips. i do remember Ruthie NOT wanting her aunt(?) to pinch/kiss her cheeks, and smearing chocolate frosting allover her face to prevent it. im very curious what inspired the cartoonist.

An even better question...
is what inspires Bill Griffith, creator of Zippy, to go on and on about front loading washers. He was raised in Levittown where they had a standard, round tub, bolt-down Bendix that came with the house. He gets to voice his obsession through Zippy, but it's pretty major.

me too
Especially in the first one, "I'll be the judge of that" from the age of about 9 on I was fixing/tweaking/troubleshooting vacuums for neighbors, relatives, and friends of my parents.
The vacuums were sweet back then, lots of metal base Convertibles, Dial-a-Matics, cool canisters...
those were the days!

I can go along with Earl-but why do hand helds upset him?Guess the answer is in the next cartoon panel?Wonder if he likes Shop Vacs or Backpacks?
Great cartoon,never heard of that one before. I wonder if he was inspired by that little 4 y.o. kid that was on the Ellen Degeneres show awhile back who is fascinated by vacuums.

Want to find out more?
Write to him! I did, once and got a lovely reply. Not a form letter, a real reply. Seems like a really nice guy.
Cute too, but that's beside the point. He's from Baltimore, which is why certain place names and things pop up in his strip.

Wow, that hits kinda close to home. Of course it wasn't vacuums (at least not at that age), but bicycles. I remember everyone seemed to have some old bicycle in their garage that I would go look at. Even if it wasn't that old, I'd still tell them more imformation about it than they ever wanted to know.

BUT
Besides the very few friends I had, I kept it quiet about that when I was in school. I knew that would've given kids another reason to pick on me.
