Barney and Cidu

barney and Cidu

Six people have sent this to me so far, which I’m pretty sure is a record. So…

  1. The consensus seems to be it’s a reference to CIDU. Is it?
  2. If so, is it pro or con?
  3. If pro, thanks.
  4. If con, I think the Weingartens are missing the point, since collectively this is one of the least-clueless groups I’ve seen online.
  5. (If con, did somebody here say something unkind about this strip three weeks ago?)
  6. Even if con, it’s cool.
  7. No #7 really: it’s just that six bullet points might give the impression these were responses to the six people who sent me the comic.

What it is and what it ain’t (YMMV)

A couple of people sent me this for the Geezer file. I have to disagree because the reruns have never left us. Otherwise Lucretia wouldn’t be old enough to know what this was. Neither would I. Neither, I assume, would Barney, or the two people who sent this to me.

I also can’t go along with “violent,” because Ralph is all bluster and nobody takes any of it seriously.

I’m not sure I’d call it misogynist — but if it were, Alice’s comment about Ralph’s weight wouldn’t make it any less so.
