These are funny, but I actually found that second strip to be... oddly profound. What WOULD it be like for a character who has been in syndication for seventy-odd years to look back on his life? His endless, almost unchanging life, filled with the same basic situations, the same basic jokes. What would it be like to look back on all that? I found the concept strangely moving.
(This is helped, of course, by the fact that I actually LIKE Dagwood. 'Blondie' is one of the few 'been around forever' strips that I actually enjoy - sure, it's old and creaky by now, but I can still see what made it popular in the first place.)
Oh, and that first strip would make a lot more sense if Popeye and Garfield had actually had some traditional association with one another.
