Strip:
I love this comic strip! It's fun, harmless, and yet reflective. Tiger and his friends are small children, preschool to elementary age. How they see the world around them is just like we might have seen it at that age. It's a lot more realistic than most comic strips, and its given cute characters with funny quirks to give it real personality. Tiger is a small boy who wears big T-shirts and an oversized cap. He's called Tiger for the same reason that a bald guy is called "Curly". If you look close, you'll notice that a different college team or something else appears on Tiger's plain white shirt in almost every comic strip.
Bud Blake is the mastermind behind this strip. He started it in May 1965 and it's still running at the time of this writing (August 2005). Unlike Peanuts, which often reflects upon the cruel blows life gives us as kids, Tiger is all about the fun of growing up as a boy. Of course, the kids in Peanuts are slightly older, and I'm sure Tiger would have these same problems if he were 10 or 12. Thankfully, Bud Blake always keeps his strip bright and cheery.
