It’s Messi World

HUGE NEWS that Lionel Messi is coming to MLS and joining Miami FC. How huge is it? Even the skateboarding sites are talking about it. OK, this one is at least. How bizarre is it that the world’s most famous sport celebrity is wearing a skateboard related shirt on TV during an interview? Well it […]

Republican’s, Meat and Skateboarding

“All life is a blur of republicans and meat!” is a a well loved saying by Zippy the Pinhead. This particular rendition of it is uncharacteristically clumsy from whoever worked on the layout for this postcard in Bill Griffith’s online merch store.

Archie Laugh #16: What if?

While watching “It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown” over the weekend on Apple TV+ I dug around a little and found CBAS was available too. […]

The Osmonds. Glaven…

Old Steve Grover (Remember GVK?) texted me from Puerto Rico to let me know the 70’s channel was playing a video of the Osmonds on skateboards while singing “Do You Know The Way To San Jose?” Tracking down the video was a piece of cake, but because of the lazy nature of the internet, there […]

Pep #331 and “Tide Ride”

Pep #331 (November 1977) features a one page story with Archie skateboarding titled “Tide Ride,” as well as a Youth Opportunity Sales Club ad in which you can earn a skateboard by selling 16 boxes of greeting cards.

Stupid Beagle

Lucy is so mean to Snoopy, and everyone else for that matter. Peanuts Wiki says this first appeared on March 26th 1979., otherwise I would have pegged this as being mid to late 80’s. Full frame after the jump.
