If you are referring to "9 Chickweed Lane", Charley, I agree with you. It's very good, but sometimes I feel like a voyeur reading it. Somehow the main characters jumped from 14 to 18 years old, and some of the storylines are pretty racy for family comics pages.

BillD, I think Brewster Rocket is about the level of what my friends and wrote when we were in (what is now) Middle School. Its pretty lame.

Of the comics currently in the LA Times, I only read about six on a regular basis: Mutts, Zits, Candorville, For Better or Worse,
9 Chickweed Lane, Crankshaft and Pearls Before Swine (gotta love them lame-o crocodiles.) OK, seven.
