Earth Day is tomorrow and it has been pre-announced that 46 of the nation\u2019s top comic strips have all decided to jump on the green bandwagon and write humor honoring this day. It\u2019s been foreshadowed<\/a> that upon this blessed day, Dagwood<\/em> will take a nap to conserve energy and the Mutts<\/em> strip will offer environmental quotations.<\/p>\n

But, what will the other mischievous cartoonists have to offer? I thought it would be fun to take a few guesses as to what the top comic strips will focus on for Earth Day. For instance, I thought it would be fun to see Dilbert powering his PC with a small wind turbine that pal Wally\u00a0is blowing upon.<\/p>\n

Perhaps Garfield will eat a spinach lasagna in honor of the day. Beetle Bailey could put up a large solar panel in a field, then sleep in the shade underneath it. Dennis the Menace may slip Mr. Wilson a \u201cprescription\u201d brownie full of “oranic” materials. The Lockhorns may battle out the best method of recycling.<\/p>\n

Linus may find out that he likes a hemp blanket better. And, the Wizard of Id may just invent a free energy concoction that will save the world (for a day). On Earth Day, I myself, will partake of a yummy tofu Scoobie Snack and bang my wild bongos at midnight. Ruh Roh!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
