Wordmangler: What do you mean by "See you in the funny papers"?
It's a humorous way of saying "See you around," apparently coined in 1920s America.
The "funny papers" are the pages that American newspapers used to devote to comic strips. Most papers carried a single page of comics on weekdays and an extended section, in color, on Sundays.
I'm drawn to this way of saying goodbye because I'm a journalist and my parents were journalists. I grew up with the funny papers.
Oh...and since this site is devoted to comics, I thought the saying was particularly appropriate.
