Happy Birthday Sparky! Have some legs

It's Charles Schulz's 100th birthday, or would be, and at least 1/3 of the comic strips I've seen today feature tributes to him: either lazy caricatures of his face/dancing snoopy, or their strips in Schulz's Peanuts style, or their strips doing the Lucy Football Gag.

The Peanuts kids are child sized, child proportioned, and that includes short chubby child-proportioned legs.

McEldowney here is bucking the Schulz trend by tacking long sexy legs onto a minor.

These kids are ping-ponging wildly between the ages of about six and about sixteen.

McEldowney goes out of his way in the first panel to cram Edda's legs in, Amos staring at them. They look about ten, Amos especially, like children. Children with, in Edda's case, freakishly long legs. I know I've brought up her legs several times but try not to look below the ribbed hem of her sweater vest in the first panel.

In the second panel Amos still looks child-like, but Edda has long curving adult legs. Amos continues staring at them as they swing, two empty swings between them, swings that apparently hang down several yards beneath them. They are pumping their legs, swinging back and forth, at a dizzying height above the ground, space between them.

And still talking about fucking.
