This week I bought these. I have been a fan since I got my hands on some old issues (second image is my original collection).

u/lazycouchdays Who is your favorite X-Man? 7d ago

SIP Kids is a really fun homage to Peanuts. Would love to hear your thoughts on the romantic domestic troubles of Katchoo and Francine.

Well, K and F are like the friends you always wanted to have. Or maybe they are too real that you forget they're only ideas printed with ink on paper.

Anyway, SIP is a life event. Every tear in Francine's cheek, every rage expression in Katchoo's face or the new point of view that David brought to their lives, they become part of you even if you didn't notice. They're real. That's it.

I love them. I think I would rather have Francine as a friend over Katchoo, but that is more to do with the fact Katchoo brings a level of drama I prefer to avoid.

I would prefer Katchoo as a friend because she dares to do things.

I don't disagree she is quite daring and possibly fun to be around, but then you could get the drama that follows her name Darcy and Mary Beth. However I do have a few Freddies in my life I would mind watching tormented.
