Welcome to Poohdickery! Writer Don Ferguson and artist Richard Moore did a syndicated Winnie the Pooh comic strip for ten years that was reprinted for decades after they stopped making new strips in the late 1980s. One of the notable aspects of the strip is how Winnie the Pooh and his friends often act a lot less nice than they do in their animated appearances. In this feature, I'll post one of these examples each installment. Click here for an archive of past installments!

Today is Winnie the Pooh Day! It's almost over, but I figured I would get some Poohdickery featured on such a joyous holiday. The day, by the way, celebrates the birthday of A.A. Milne, the guy who invented Winnie the Pooh and all of the other characters of Hundred Acre Wood.

The heart of the Winnie the Pooh comic strip is really the relationship between Winnie the Pooh and Piglet.

Both Pooh and Piglet are, in general, sweet characters, but for whatever reason, in the comic strip, they just CUT INTO EACH OTHER. It's like, dang, dudes, you're FRIENDS!

I've already spotlighted the sharpest ones in the past, but this example is still pretty darn good....

The interesting thing is how Pooh tries to temper his insults, as if he's not actively insulting his friend. Piglet, though, is sharper with his shot.

Happy Winnie the Pooh Day, everyone!
