[edit] Dunne's age?

"Dunne's childhood in the late Sixties" it says. Hm. The drawing style, clothing and manners seem to me to evoke the Fifties. (But in the late Sixties, when I was about that kid's age, I was in Pasadena, California, not some buttoned-up town where Negroes were a novelty.) Does anyone know Dunne's age for sure? —Tamfang 05:43, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

One strip ([1]) shows the character (not necessarily Dunne) as a baby during the Kennedy assassination; that same strip shows him as a child (could be eight, could be twelve) watching Gilligan's Island. Another strip ([2]) features lunchboxes of Lost in Space, Batman, and The Monkees; yet another strip ([3]) refers to President Nixon. The "old-fashioned" manners could be due to a small town atmosphere, a strict Catholic upbringing, or both (or something else). The art style and clothes don't indicate any particular time period for me. While I don't know Dunne's exact age, I'd say the strip indicates its temporal setting pretty clearly. -Branddobbe 05:55, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Beevnicks

As discussed at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/The_Beevnicks, the article on The Beevnicks has been merged into this article. The lack of verifiable indicators of notability played a key role in the determination. If The Beevnicks subsequently achieves independent notability, it should be appropriate to break it out into its own article at that time. John M Baker 18:11, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
